The Hypstrz "Hypstrization!" 1980

"A high octane Rock n Roll LP that grabs you by the throat and doesn’t let go. This truly is loud, fast, and out of control." - Philo

The Hypstrz are four floor-stompin' Garage Rock purists who have been wreaking all kinds of frenzied sonic havoc in the basements, ballrooms, bowling alleys and beer halls of Minnesota since the 1970's. Theirs is the primal, animalistic sound of wild-eyed, amphetamine-rushed Rock n' Roll filtered through a heaving behemoth squall of amplified distortion and a festering blitzkrieg torrent of snot and sweat. Its unwashed and unkempt 1960s-style Punk with a swaggering sex-infused twist of Soul, several of the songs being frantically savage covers of Nuggets classics and some being raucously blistering renditions of Wilson Pickett and James Brown standards. What a gritty and impure noise The Hypstrz make! - Moser / Under The Volcano
A damn good disc, with blistering renditions of some well-known and some more obscure songs. If you find the 60s a little slow, strange, dated and just a little too far out, and you lean more for straight ahead garage rock 'n roll, than you will dig The Hypstrz. - 7/11 Brother Bucket

The Hypstrz:

Ernest Batson: guitar / Bill Batson: vox / Randy Wiess; bass / John Haga: drums

Searnav said...: White Lightning – White Lightning Strikes Twice 1968-1969

“A Power Surge Of Minneapolis Hard Rock Electricity”

Arf Arf Records AA-066 (USA 1997)

"White Lightning" was formed in Minneapolis, Minnesota in 1968 by ex-"Litter" guitarist "Zippy" Caplan and bassist Woody Woodrich. The two musicians had been jamming together for close to a year before they decided to form a group.

The name "White Lightning" was picked by "Zippy" Caplan and Woody Woodrich during their drive back from the Litter’s filming of "Medium Cool" because it was another name for acid.

White Lightning’s original drummer, Garr Johnson, quit the group after only a month’s rehearsals because he didn't believe a three-piece act could make it in Minneapolis. Mick Stanhope was immediately brought in from Chicago by Ronn Roberts to fill the drummer's empty chair. The group added two new members and shortened their name to Lightning. They continued in the hardrock mode but now with dual leads. "Lightning" is another excellent effort, just missing the certain magic they possessed as a power trio.

Searnav said...: Waterloo – First Battle (1969)

Musea LC09709 (France – reissue)

Musicians and lineups details in artwork.

You should all know 'Why May I Not Know' (a strident piece of psych gone prog) from 'Circus Days 6'. But this release has a lot more to offer besides that goodie. It contains the superb ten-track original 1969 LP (Euro release only) recorded in London by this Belgian band... PLUS six bonus tracks (you don't get these on the Musea vinyl release).

This music is highly influenced by '68-69 era Jethro Tull, but there is a strong Arzachel feel in the phasing, bombastic keyboards, tons of echo and intricate guitar motifs. For me, the stand out track is the previously unreleased 'The Youngest Day', which (although laid down circa 1972) is a prime slice of '68/69 psych with vocal distortions and double flanging to the fore. Also, 'Smile', a 1971 45 side, is great brass-tinged pop-psych. For those who wish for some "musical exploration" but love the 'UK sound', this is a highly recommended album. Great songs, superb musicianship and English vocals. If this was a British band, it would be a UK premier league prog-psych collectable.

01. Meet Again (3:03)
02. Why May I Know Know (3:08)
03. Tumblin' Jack (2:35)
04. Black Born Children (3:43)

07. Why Don't You Follow Me? (3:31)
08. Guy In The Neighbourhood (2:55)
09. Lonesome road (2:50)
10. Diary Of An Old Man (10:59)
11. Plastic Mind (4:26)
12. Smile (3:51)
13. I Can't Live With Nobody But You (3:43)

WIPERS - Over the edge (320)
http://www23.zippyshare.com/v/j4gTq93z/file.html

1-11: Over The Edge.
Bonus: 12: recorded live 1983 in San Francisco. Mistaken ID was a song we had plans to record for "Over The Edge", but was forgotten. / 13: recorded at the "OTE" sessions, the flipside for the "Romeo" EP. / 14-16: out-take mixes for "OTE" with some differences. / 17: a different mix and vocal track with a lot more horn section. / 18: a short instrumental demo we almost recorded for "OTE".

is certainly good!
Wallace Collection was a Belgian pop rock group active in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Wallace Collection was formed from the ashes of a group called Sylvester's Team, three of which began playing under the name 16th Century along with bassist Christian Jannsens and two members of the Belgian National Philharmonic Orchestra, Raymond Vincent and Jacques Namotte. Wallace Collection based itself out of Britain, naming itself after the famous museum adjacent to the headquarters of their record label, EMI. Their debut studio album, Laughing Cavalier, was recorded at Abbey Road Studios and was released in 1969. The single "Daydream" became a hit in 21 countries, including going #1 in Belgium. In the wake of its success, the group toured Europe, the United States, Mexico, and South America. They also composed the soundtrack to a French film, La Maison, in 1970. Later singles, such as "Love" and "Serenade", were hits in Belgium and some other countries but did not reach the level of "Daydream", and the group split up in 1971. In 2005 the group re-formed with an altered lineup.; 24 June 2015 at 15:44
