Originally released back in 2000, this collection of yuletide tunes performed by surf n' garage bands from throughout the world sold out within a few months of it's original release. 6 years later, in 2006, the time seemed right to reissue it - with bonus tracks! We added three tunes that we're sure you'll enjoy. It has cover art by Johnny Bartlett and 19 great tunes (14 instros / 5 vocals).

ELIN RUTH & THE BEAT FROM PALOOKAVILLE
Christmas greetings from Sweden, Elin has a sultry blue voice that plays freely in the fields of soul, blues, R&B, and old-school hillbilly-bop rockabilly, although she hangs pretty tightly to the soul reins on this outing. The Beat From Palookaville are known for their swing-dance sound, mixing jump blues with R&B and early ska, but they too keep it mellow and groovy in their backing band duties here. Only a couple weeks old, the album explores the essence of the season from the other side of the fence, with such anthemic denunciations as “Christmas Is A Drag”, “Christmas In Prison”, “The More The Christmas, The Less The Love”, and the most optimistic version I’ve ever heard of Tom Waits’ “Christmas Card From A Hooker In Minneapolis”.

QUAGMIRE, Compilation Series
After more than 20 years of comp-makers trolling the archives of lost 60’s recordings, compilers in the new century have to dig extra deep if they hope to find any gems still buried in history. The Quagmire set is one of the few 21st Century collections that managed to pull it off. Obviously inspired by Tim Warren’s “Teenage Shutdown” and “Back From The Grave” series’, you won’t find much psych rock here - nor folk pop or prog rock or popsike or sunshine, baroque, hippie-dippie, radio-friendly anything. This is 216 tracks of 60’s teen trash proto-punk garage rock & roll, with many sides that have eluded even the most tenacious 45 collectors. They target the era just before the British Invasion when raucous R&B rave-ups ruled the schools and bands could record their own 45s somewhere in or near their hometown. With lots of private pressings and micro-label issues included, you’re guaranteed to find some of these cuts here and only here and nowhere else. I’ve seen these shared around blogland a few times in the past, but often at very humble bit rates – if you’ve got this set already, check your files ‘cuz an upgrade opportunity has just arrived.

Thank you loft larry.
Thanks, Lo Fi Larry, for the obscure garage stuff to pick through.
Lofi Larry, thanks so much for the Quagmire series -- I've never heard of this one and what I'm hearing on vol. 2 is great, great stuff!
However, vol. 1 seems to be screwed up -- tracks don't advance properly and some are cut off?
In any case, thanks, really enjoying this!
Uh-oh, Volume 1 is screwed up? Hopefully it just happened in the transfer, I checked the source files and they're doing what they should. Here's a fresh zippy, hope this clears it up:

Thanks! for @psychlist: maybe The Reivers could be presented with full discography? I love their Translate Slowly LP when they were Zeitgeit.
Big tanx to LFL for the Quagmire upgrade!
Listened to volumes 1 and 3 of the Quagmire set. LoFi Larry's description is right on the money. I don't know much of the stuff on there, and from what I've heard so far, the amount of great tracks is surprisingly high for this kind of collection. It totally rocks! Thanks so much!
