The Royal Pendletons "Nites Along the Mississippi" 2008 - Live In Memphis & Olde New Orleans

King Louie helped found the Royal Pendletons in 1991 along with Michael Hurtt on guitar/vocals, J. Matthew Uhlman on guitar/vocals, and G. Thomas Oliver on organ...
...The band achieved in the pre-internet years what is now known as a " Buzz Band " status today. Not concentrating on the studio or recording side of their set the band has little to show for their efforts. The RP's were known to have over 100 songs and usually played from open to close at New Orleans venues Checkpoint Charlie's, Benny's and Barristers (Memphis). The Royal Pendletons put out their first 7-inch on Goner Records in 1995, and in 1998 put out a full-length LP on Sympathy for the Record Industry with producer Alex Chilton entitled Oh Yeah, Baby. - wiki

The Thanes "A Night In Great King Street" 2007

12 tracks recorded live in Edimburg by the Masters of garage sixties, the fantastic Thanes. including their all times' hits, "it's just a fear", "kicks & chicks", "sun didn't come out today"...
...If their’s a contemporary band that sums up all the things that we loves and stands for, it would be The Thanes. For over twenty years they have been the real deal, a perfect blend of Edinburgh, Amsterdam and San Francisco style garage-beat. This live 10” presents 12 tunes "recorded in a dingy cellar" and proves that the band are just as great on stage as in the studio. Over the years the '60s clothes and hairstyles have gone andthe band now look like four very ordinary looking guys on stage. But who needs fancy clothes with a sound this good? You really need this is if you’re a Thanes fan. - dead beat

Kim Fowley "Lost Treasures From The Vaults 1959-69" - Vol 4 - Technicolor Grease 2009

Kim Fowley had been bouncing around the edges of the Los Angeles music scene for a few years when he scored a hit single in 1960 with "Alley Oop," an odd little novelty single credited to the Hollywood Argyles, with Fowley talking hipster style about the once popular comic strip caveman over a simple, clanking backing track...
..."Alley Oop" convinced Fowley that the public had a taste for the eccentric and gimmicky if it was packed right, and ever since, the man has been delivering the eccentric and gimmicky as a songwriter, producer and occasional recording artist on a regular basis. The cultural archivists at Norton Records have paired up with Fowley to collect some of the more interesting items from his career in the music biz, and Another Man's Gold: Lost Treasure from The Vaults 1959-69: Vol. 2 pulls together 16 oddball single sides Fowley produced during his heyday. Another Man's Gold isn't quite as aggressively quirky as its companion volume One Man's Garbage (which includes Althea & the Memories' inarguably amazing "Worst Record Ever Made"), but that's not to say Fowley doesn't dig up some prize winners here, most notably a head-scratching comedy routine by the Players called "Memories of a High School Bride," the "Johnny B. Goode" parody/ripoff "Surfer's Rule" by the Rituals, and a pair of hilariously dated topical items, "Long Hair, Unsquare Dude Called Jack" by the Hollywood Argyles and Fowley's own "Big Sur, Bear Mountain, Ciro's, Flip Side Protest Song," a folk-rock experiment that goofs on protest numbers while name dropping Bob Dylan and the Byrds. Of course, one of the reasons Fowley was able to get away with cutting crazy stuff like this for so long is that he would occasionally score a hit, and if there aren't any here, a bunch of the songs on this disc are pretty great, such as the killer instrumentals "Ghost Train" by the Renegades and "Teen Machine" by the Gamblers, as well as a couple solid girl group numbers in "Gone But Not Forgotten" by the Cover Girls and "Eleventh Commandment of Love" by Bonnie & the Treasures. And even when he was aiming for weirdness, Fowley's knack for a hook and a witty lyric meant he was better at it than most of his peers, and though Another Man's Gold isn't as strong as its sibling collection, it confirms that the man's archive doubtless merits greater investigation (and his liner notes suggest this man ought to try writing his autobiography one of these days, which ought to be one crazed read if it ever happens). - Review by Mark Deming

"Got The Go!!!" - Vol 3

A great volume in the series of compilations dedicated to the dance. A record perfect for parties! Obscure French jerk, unknown Spanish boogaloo, groovy southern soul and killer garage tunes compiled for your dancing pleasure.
Strange series of bizarre and motley collection of exotic 'delights'. Is this the type of thing they play in kitsch gallic nightclubs?
Volume one has the B side of a 1967 Dave Clark Five single, a sexist Gloria cash-in garage punk novelty (actually, it's quite funny... ONCE!!!!), various foreign language pop efforts and a couple of other big names thrown into the pot for good measure (Tom Jones and Perez Parado). Another highlight on this one is a sung version by Antoine of Hot Butter's Popcorn.... ridiculous, but stratospherically great.
I used to buy this type of compilation on sight... just because...I forget why now... oh yeah, they looked fun. This one is fairly fun.
The others in the series are up there too. Volume two has Brenton Wood's cover of The Count Five's Psychotic Reaction... they were both on the same label [Double Shot] - so maybe it's actually the Five themselves backing Mr Wood on his sterling version).
Volume three pursues a similar furrow with another weird selection of non-hits, '60s swinging euro-pop, MOR shakers, strange covers and crazy novelties including Les Mersey's T'En Fais Pas Jacques ...a French language cover of Ray Charles' Hit The Road Jack. I always link these comps with the Mello Jello and University of Vice albums that came out around the same time. Have you heard the news? There's bad rockin' tonight. - Bradx

Sacred Cowboys "Sacred Cowboys" 1984

The Sacred Cowboys were a post-punk band originating in Melbourne Australia, active in the 80's and intermittently since then, and still occasionally revived...
...The band has had numerous members, the sole constant being vocalist Garry Gray, formerly a member of The Reals and The Negatives. The original Sacred Cowboys lineup, as credited on the first single, included two former members of The Models (2), Mark Ferrie and Janis Freidenfelds, Andrew Picouleau of Metronomes, Ian Forrest of [Invalid Artist] and Terry Doolan. Doolan, Ferrie and Friedenfelds were subsequently in The Slaughtermen.

Sandy Nelson "Big Sixties Beat Party" 1995

Man, did Sandy Nelson record a lot of albums in the last half of the 1960s -- more than 15 between 1965 and 1969...
...This 24-track collection samples from most of them, the program dominated by instrumental covers of big '60s rock hits like "Good Lovin'," "Hey Joe," "Good Lovin'," "Wooly Bully," and "I Don't Need No Doctor." Thrown in are a few '60s oldies, some rocked-up non-rock tunes like "The Lion in Winter," and a few things that weren't hits for anyone. Nelson was inarguably overexposed during his time at Imperial Records, but this very selective pick of his 1965-1969 work is actually better than you'd expect, even if its appeal is primarily limited to hardcore instrumental rock fans. Nelson really does drive most of the tracks along with a supercharged snare-heavy beat, and it's not that much of a stretch to say that you can hear how he was probably an influence on Keith Moon, though Nelson didn't have anything like the context Moon did with the Who. He did, however, record with the cream of the Hollywood session players, including names like Barney Kessel, Carol Kaye, Larry Knechtel, Jim Gordon, Dr. John (then known as Mac Rebennack, who funnily enough plays on "I Don't Need No Doctor"), and Al Casey. It has a flashy mod rock production that makes some of these workouts -- like "Scratchy," "Whittier Boulevard," "Come on Let's Go," "I Don't Need No Doctor," "Good Lovin'" -- way-above-average incidental period go-go soundtrack music, though a few of the songs (particularly some of the late-'60s cuts) are routine drags. Note, too, that a young Jim Messina was the co-author of (and plays on) one of the filler instrumentals that was never a hit for anyone, "Boss Beat." - Review by Richie Unterberger

Kim Fowley "Lost Treasures From The Vaults 1959-69" - Vol 3 - King Of The Creeps 2009

Kim Fowley is a mad genius if the music business has ever produced such a thing; as a songwriter, producer, manager, and idea man, he's enjoyed steady success over the course of a career that's spanned seven decades (!), but there's always been a wild and sleazy undercurrent in his music that befits a man who has frequently gone out of his way to paint himself as a sex-crazed scam artist out for a buck. (Read Fowley's contributions to Marc Spitz and Brendan Mullen's oral history of the Los Angeles punk scene, We Got the Neutron Bomb, or his extended interview in issue nineteen of the garage rock journal Ugly Things for evidence.)..
...Fowley has had his hands in more than a few hit records over the years, but he's also cut at least as many discs that are marvels of perverse inspiration the mass audience could not fathom, and the folks at Norton Records (a label built around inspiration at its most perverse) have given Fowley a chance to share some of his more interesting smash flops in a pair of compilations. One Man's Garbage: Lost Treasures from the Vaults 1959-1969, Vol. 1 features 16 tracks Fowley produced (and sometimes sings) that somehow failed to become hits; in the case of grooving instrumentals like "Bodacious" by the U.S. Rockets or "Inferno" by Johnny C & the Blazers, it's hard to say why they didn't click, but once you get into the joyously dumb "Big Fat Alaskan" by Donnie & the Outcasts, or the oddball novelty disc "The Rebel" by the Players, it seems fairly evident that sometimes Fowley was amusing himself and his friends rather than aiming for the charts, and "I Saw Her First" by Bruce & Jerry (featuring future Beach Boy Bruce Johnston) and "Late Late Show" by the Patterns push the clichés of '60s teen pop into directions that are clearly meant to be parody despite their clean-cut surfaces. And when it comes to stuff like "Surf Pigs" by Fowley and Mars Bonfire and Althea & the Memories' justifiably legendary "Worst Record Ever Made," the man seems to be making some sort of elaborate inside commentary on the ephemeral nature of pop music that's funny and truly bizarre at the same time. On pretty much every song, it's clear Fowley has a way with a tune and a smart lyric (no matter what the thinking is behind it), and this music comes from the era when nearly every studio in Los Angeles was cranking out great-sounding records on a regular basis, so most of this sounds far more professional than one might imagine. One Man's Garbage is a wildly entertaining ride through the roller coaster of Kim Fowley's mind, and his crazed liner notes only add to the fun. - Review by Mark Deming

The Mike Westbrook Concert Band "Marching Song" 1969 - Vol. 2

...Instead, it might be interpreted as reflecting the varying shades of war, from the exuberance of patriotic pride and preparation many nations feel upon entering armed conflict ("Hooray!") to the aimless confusion plenty of soldiers and civilians feel as things get bogged down ("Other World")...
...While more often than not the compositions and ensemble playing are on the avant-garde side, at times they burst into rather buoyant progressive big-band arrangements (the title track), even if that quickly succumbs to the tenser and most disquieting sides of its undercurrents. Not all of the pieces are that challenging; the piano-dominated "Landscape" has a serenity that would appeal to any Bill Evans fan, for instance, while "Waltz (For Joanna)," undoubtedly the LP's highlight, matches extremely Coltrane-ish interplay from the lead instruments with more swing-oriented backup than classic-era Coltrane was wont to employ. Westbrook and his band certainly went into edgier, more confrontational moods on Marching Song, Vol. 2, however, one reason that sequel has to be heard to judge all of this album's tracks in their most appropriate context. - Review by Richie Unterberger

The Thanes "Downbeat and Folked Up" 2003

2002 album of the Scottish beat legends the THANES, we cant hardly find the right words for it.
The THANES have be around since 1987 and certainly belong to the very few really important bands of todays garage and beat scene. Hailing from Edinburgh, they have released tons of records on the coolest labels around, such as SUNDAZED, CORDUROY, MISTY LANE, LARSEN and DISTORTIONS to name but a few. The THANES of this ultra-modern age conjure up ever more new and always interesting twists and turns from their basic garage band vision. They are extending their collective antennae, reaching but further, sometimes bringing a new reaffirmation of a deeper folk-rock stance with evocative vocal harmonies and a jangling 12-string: to wit, there are covers by Bob Dylan, and The Beau Brummels, played out with true heart and soul. A few choice examples of the group`s mega-fixation with groups that existed in Holland thirty-odd years ago have also been selected for inclusion. One of the best is their interpretation of "I`m A Fool" originally performed by The Sandy Coast. Stomping and gyrating is also encouraged with original beat-style creations such as "It Can Never Be", "The Next One", and the furious buzz of the LP opener "That`s The Story Of Your Life". No other current band is able to combine all these musical elements of the sixties in such a perfect way. "Downbeat & folked up" is masterpiece of modern beat music and will not just take the hearts of all the sixties-devotees by storm. One hell of an album! (text From: Myspace/thethanes LP review)

Sandy Nelson "Rock 'n' Roll Drum Beat" 1995

Rock'n'Roll Drum Beat contains 30 songs Nelson did for Imperial in the early 1960s taken from singles and LP tracks...
One might logically assume from that that this should be a satisfactory best-of album, but hold on there -- although it does have one of his two big hit singles, "Let There Be Drums," it doesn't have the other one, "Teen Beat" (which was done for Original Sound), and any Nelson best-of collection that's worthy of the name must offer both of the two hits. For that matter, it doesn't even have his only other Top 40 single "Drums Are My Beat" (1962), which was recorded for Imperial. As for what is here, the material is routine, early-1960s, session-man rock, despite the presence of top session musicians like saxophonists Steve Douglas and Plas Johnson, pianist Ernie Freeman, and guitarist Rene Hall. There are a lot of dull covers of rock hits of the time, like "Willie and the Hand Jive," "All Shook Up," and "Yakety Yak." The rest sounds like musicians with good chops going through the motions to kill time between sessions with artists that had much more chart potential. A more important drawback is that Nelson rarely goes crazy on the kit, as he did on "Teen Beat" and "Let There Be Drums" (and later on the 1965 single "Casbah"). The style which helped inspire fledgling drummers (such as, in all probability, Keith Moon) is largely muted here, except of course on "Let There Be Drums" and to a lesser degree on "Alexis" and "The Flip." - Review by Richie Unterberger

Mike & The Meteors "Calling Saturn 7" 2013

Big reverbs, spaghetti western, punk and rock and roll all mashed together? Yes!
This album is a collection of songs that were written between 2005 and 2013. From listening to my Dad's records from The Ventures as a kid, to playing with Johnny Apollo and the Saturn Seven or when I first saw bands like Webb Wilder... I realized this surf beat was in me and I needed to do something with it. Hope you enjoy it. - Mike
