Fine double disc set of obscure garage rock, a UK import. Many of these tracks I am familiar with
only from this comp set, I love stuff like that. Each disc is loaded with 30 tracks.
Volume 1 gives us some well known (but still great) stuff from The Jelly Bean bandits, Magic Mushrooms, Bluethings, Chocloate Moose,and old favorite "Boil The Kettle, Mother" from the Id, but slao some stuff here that was pretty much unknwon to me, Riders of the Mark, The Hysterics, Leather Boy, The All Night Workers, and the Bruthers, among others.
The second disc is, if anything, MORE obscure, excepting the Unrelated Segments "Where You Gonna Go" (which turns up often but is still terrific), but out-there stuff from Sentrifical Fours, Purple Underground, The Moonrakers, The Fantastics, and LOADS more.....you'll be amazed by some of this stuff, really.
Not much really to comment on, as you will know by the track list whether or not you want this, but if you're a fan of some of the garaeg-comps I've posted before, you'll most certainly want this one.

Apparently a Volume 3 exists, any of our UK friends have a copy of it? By the way, I'm sure you know by now that The Pirate Bay has been shut down, looks like maybe for good this time (but you never know about THAT site)......I've used the Bay for many years, in fact, much of the collection I have built over the years was obtained from that very site. Anyway, if you are a Bay user, I will for now recommend that you use KickAss Torrents, I have never really found anything that was "unique" to that site there (in other words anything the Bay didn't have), but they do have quite a stash of stuff....there is also a mirror version (I think that's what you call it) of the Bay that you can use, but there will, as I understand it, be no NEW uploaded Torrents to it, but apparently it can still be used. Just so you know......as things stand right now, likely KickAss Torrents wil become the "go to" site for new material.
