So, for another weekend, how about another somewhat expansive comp series of relatively obscure
![]()
acts, the "Girls In the Garage" series......a favorite of mine, as i have always loved me some chick singers, and this is some stuff that I doubt is "overlapped" with ANY of the recent "Nuggets"-type postings, highly obscure, and very great......by my count nine volumes, what say we do three a day till we knock em out? Most of it is so unknown that I can probably limit most of my commentary to making offensive sexually depraved jokes about the names of the bands, but what ya expect, me to get like all creative or something?
Volume 1 does give us a familiar track or two, "Melvin" by the Belles is a very clever female take on the "Gloria" standard, "Nightmare" by The Whyte Boots I think I recall being something of a hit, both the Beattle-ettes and the Bootles were attempting to perhaps ride "someone else"'s groove, in particular check the goofy "I'll Let You Hold My Hand" by the Bootles......other than that, dig in, LOTS of obscure goodies here!

Volume 2 has nothing as recognizeable as even THOSE Volume 1 high points, so just overdose ont eh totally-unknown gems of the Cupons, Venus Flytrap, Tammy & the Bachelors, The She's, and a BUNCH more that you'd damn near need a degree in this stuff to be familiar with.
Volume 3 features another ridiulous (See: Bootles above) "answer" song, The Debs "Sloopy's Gonna Hang On", also out-there obscure-o's by The Liverbirds, Minnie & the Kneebones, Feebeez, tons more.........
Again, I love obscure shit like this, and of course I love women, so these go together quite well....as usual, please comment on them and let me know your thoughts.
