"Allergic to Flowers" Garagebeat & Popsike (Challenge Records Part Two 1965 to 1968)

Part two of this Challenge Records series, a first time thematic overview of West Coast independent label…
...The label hit paydirt in early 1966 when it scored a coast-to-coast hit with The Knickerbockers' outstandingly energetic rave up 'Lies'. Allergic To Flowers: Garage Beat & Popsike celebrates this and the other nuggets that Challenge issued from 1965 to 1968. There's The Brogues' paint-peeling Punk rocker 'Don't Shoot Me Down' (the band featured future members of San Francisco legends Quicksilver Messenger Service). Also heard are more irresistible, rockin' and melodic high-energy gems by The Knickerbockers, the absolutely incredible Psychedelic Punk of We The People, the tough-as-nails Lindy Blaskey and the Lavells and the superb Psychedelic harmonies of Fenwyck's Mindrocker. And then there's the Folk rocking and punkish sides recorded by Gene Vincent with Glen Campbell, as well as The Jefferson Handkerchief's hippy novelty 'I'm Allergic To Flowers'. 24 tracks. RPM.
