20 track compilation of Eddie Holman's pre-ABC sides, recorded under his name, or with his group The Larks, and a great batch of raw east coast soul. If you know Eddie's other work, you know that he's got a really unique style that mixes deep soul vocals with east coast production. We're big faves of his, and we're happy to have this great batch of material that we've never been able to find on original 45s. Tracks include "I'll Cry 1000 Tears", "This Can't Be True", "I Surrender", "A Free Country", "I'm Not Gonna Give Up", and "Am I A Loser". (Dusty Groove)

PUBLIC NUISANCE
One of those great lost proto-punk bands, there are legends and rumors about these recordings being shelved because a (very) distant relation to the Manson murders, of all things. Explosive musicianship that melts punky lo-fi riff rock with trippy psychedelic arrangements, sing-along power pop vocals, and pulsating San Fran jam sessions. This double-disc compilation includes everything that Third Man would later release under the same title, along with a second full album of even more incendiary material recorded later in ’68; plus as an extra bonus, each disc is augmented with different versions of the complete 45 they released under the alternate band name Moss & The Rocks.

THE HONEYCOMBS
British beat poppers known for having a lady on the skins, their big hit was “Have I The Right?”. They underwent almost regular personnel changes and eventually disbanded altogether in 1967 after just four years. They produced two albums in this time, and both expanded versions shared here are packed full of non-LP sides, alternate versions, and studio outtakes.

WEST COAST NATURAL GAS
Fuzzy West Coast psychedelic rock, the earliest recordings were done in their hometown of Seattle but the bulk were done in San Francisco with Jefferson Airplane’s original manager Matthew Katz. They released one official 7” but the rest of the tracks languished unheard after the band & Katz fell apart. All surviving acetates are included here, as well as both official sides, a couple of radio commercials, and a rusty early set of covers from their beginnings in Seattle.

BIT ‘A SWEET
Psychedelic soul and vocal pop, mixed with all kinds of mind-altered trickery including wah-wah sitars, offbeat freakouts, and classic studio effects of the genre. This was their only full LP, expanded with both sides of their mega-rare debut 45 from 1967.

Thanks LoFi Larry for all the great 60's shares recently - I've been enjoying them on iPod rotation!
Thanks El Tel for the continuing GOLDMINE saga!
Thanks Lofi Larry for another batch of obscure 60s cool.
Thanks for all the great tunes, LoFi, Gyro & ELTel!
Thanks to RYP and Gyro gor Eddie Holman and to LoFi Larry for BIT ‘A SWEET.
Thanks
I love Eddie Holman's falsetto vocals. I already have these songs on other albums, but want to recommend it to anyone who loves sweet harmonies with a Doo Wop and Philly soul influence. So good! Thanks for sharing Gyro (and Madman)
And a big nod of gratitude to LoFi Larry for all of the top notch 60's shares recently. The Honeycombs albums are an appreciated sonic improvement over the 192 versions I had.
Last but not least, thanks to RYP for keeping this blog going day in and day out!
Big tanx to LFL for more great obscure 60's!
Thanks for The Honeycombs
