So Cold! Sacramento Garage Bands of the 1960's

Why the hell it's called "So Cold!" when the subject is Sacramento (my memory, such as it is,
recalled it having to do with Minnesota or something, based on the title)......once again, a single disc, but again, a very well done one, packed to the brim with 30 tracks, including even one alternate take of a track, which, in general, is done on comps of this type, "alternate take"-type things are usually reserved for the better-known acts, for completists or fanatics, NOT for super-obscure garage acts from Sacramento......but hey, you know I love obscure, and what the hell is going to be more obcure than ALTERNATE TAKES of garage-unknowns, especially from a non-"scene" such as Sacramento?

So what have we? Well, a bunch of tracks from the Maurauders (they get the "alternate take"), a few from Gear One (check their goofball "Little Richard Medley"), and then a smattering of total obscurities such as Sel-Sync, Plgue Ltd, and Piferage Humor......all in all, like yesterday's "Hoosier Hotshots" this is a fairly comprehensive (I guess) and VERY listenable set for all of us afficianodoes of this type of thing......

Think I'm getting lazy, single disc posts the past couple days? Well, what are ya gonna do? I'm running low on "regions", and I've promised "Sixties Rebellion" (a REALLY good set by the way) for next week........relax, if this stuff is your thing (and I guess for bunch of ya it is), there is WAAAAAY more to come.........when I started this blog-type thing, my intention was NOT to drag out all of my 60's garage-obscurities......but, the surprising popularity with which they have been recieved, so much MORE SO than, say obscure 2010's stoner-rock bands (whom I probably, honestly, enjoy MORE than this stuff), leads me to think that the proper direction for this blog, at least for now, is the hundreds and hundreds of obscure "Nugget-Rock" comps that adorn my shelves....when you (or I) get tired of it, we'll go a different direction, but I love all you guys, and want to give you what you WANT. At this time, for the most part, THIS is what you want!

Couple of things I want to add today. First of all, thanks again to Joseph6666666.....he has provided us with copies of "Northwest Battle of the Bands" Volumes 1 and 2, as well as a way cool picture file of some of the Northwest bands.....the copies I posted were quite a mess.....should you want proper, corrected links, go to the COMMENTS SECTION of the NORTHWEST BATTLE OF THE BANDS post, and you will find Joseph has posted the Zippyshare links there.....no need for me to copy them and put them anywhere else, that is where are, go grab em.......

Now, also this: Someone asked about "Sixties Rebellion".....as I stated before, yes, I do have it and DID intend to put it up next week by request.....however, the wonderful site "Paradise of Garage Comps", run by the amazing Caveman78 from Italy, is posting them RIGHT NOW, I think he has most if not all of them up, if not he will  the next few days......here is a link to his fine blog, please go there and support his great efforts

I don't think I will post this set after all since it is so easilly available at HIS site at the moment.....be kinda overkill, so please, if you are interested in "Sixties Rebellion" (a REALLY great set by the way), PLEASE just go there and get it.......and while there check out his archive, if you are not familiar with the Caveman's work, as fans of this genre you are badly cheating yourselves........have a great weekend, and Father's Day. My Dad passed away in 1990, on my wife Carla's birthday of all things.....we used to argue and fight like you wouldn't beleive about politics and current issues, etc, we were on the opposite side of the fence on most things.....but he did love him some rock n roll music, and when he passed I inherited his great collection of mostly 1960's type vinyl stuff, a lot of which turns up on this site from time to time.....anyway, even though we used to argue and call each other names, I do miss him and wish he was here right now calling me names and arguing with me...if your Dad is still with us, please tell him Happy Fathers Day for me......I have a 16 year old son myself (he never knew his Grandpa, my Dad) who knows everything about everything, exactly the way I used to be I'm sure........some kind of lesson or justice or karma in there somewhere I'm certain. Enjoy Fathers Day all you Dads!
