Highs in the Mid Sixties Part 4

Volumes 10/11/12 today, of this very good series of relatively obscure regional psych/garage from, as the title would imply, the mid-sixties......what are you thinking of this series thusfar? I think it is more along the lines of Pebbels/Gravel than Nuggets, that is MUCH more for those of us who love
the obscure stuff......

Anyway Volume ten features stuff from Wisconsin, no geographic quirks for me to bitch about this time, except maybe The Young Savages were actually from Chicago (Chicago had it's OWN disc) but really that's close enough to Wisconsin I suppose......Jack & the Beanstalks have appeared on a few comps I recall, not sure if it was these particular tunes or not......there are a couple bands here from Appleton Wisconsin which I probably never would have even heard of, except that they used to have an evidently kick-ass radio station there as it used to win the "Best Radio Station Small Market" in various music polls all the time (never compare with Ohio's own WOXY THE FUTURE OF ROCK N ROLL in it's mid-90's heyday, but we are splitting hairs)

Volumes 11 and 12 both feature Texas acts, as I said somewhere here Texas might have been THE hotbed for this stuff....Larry & the Bluenotes of course you know, perhaps also Stereo Shoestring and Thursday's Children too, while omitting obvious stuff like 13th Floor Elevators and Bubble Puppy that are, frankly, on enough damn comps as it is.


Anyway, lot of positive thoughts on this set as well, I guess there are always a crowd who (like myself ) hungers for the obscure......I've been spot-listening to these as I post them and they are as good as I remember, I hope you guys are liking them as well.....and as I said in an earlier pledge, I can keep this kind of thing coming LONG after you become sick of them, if you ever do, I literally have HUNDREDS more comp sets of 1960's garage/psych/punk, "Nugget-rock"!

My best guess, however, is that I get sick of em before you do and take a breather for a while and get
around to some power pop greats, or some whacked-out stoner metal, or some creeching riot grrrrrl punk, or something.

Man does not live on Nuggets alone, however, it will suffice until I tire of it.

Links after while ya know......still searching for that FRIEND OF THE BLOG out there who happens to posess a copy of Volume 23 (Texas, Part 5) of this series...if ya have one, let me know, so we can ALL have it......share share share share share share share share share share share can't repeat that word enough, that is what it is ALL about.......to call it stealing is comparable to 1984's Orwellian "doublespeak" or "newspeak", and just as frightening and dangerous.

Peace be with you...........look out, here comes SUMMER!
