Some garage/psych from Australia

Four discs worth in fact, and there are more to come.....the Australian/New Zealand scenes of the 60's
were quite good, as I'm sure anyone who was there will tell us. I've loved Australia for some time, not that 've been there, because I haven't, but the way those chicks talk.....yummmmmmmm. I especially love that Emile de Ravin, who played Claire on "Lost" (my fave show ever, by the way), on of the finest babes in the lengthy history of my personal Babeology.

OK, what was I talking about? Emile always manages to get me sidetracked. Oh, yes, the quite well-known, four disc set "Ugly Things", packed with all things Aussie and Kiwi from those late great 1960's. Just seconds ago finished listening to Disc 1 in its entirety, VERY good stuff here....The Missing Links, The Creatures, Trevor Gordon & the Bee Gees (!), The Running Jumping Standing Still and a ton more. Pure garage noise, BUT with a special twist, which is what makes each of these internal sets some damn unique and special,

Volume 2 continues to pile em on.......The Birds, Grandma's Tonic. The Clefs, Laurie Wade's Cavaliers (to name but a very few). Volume 3 gives us Machine Gun Kelly's Rejects, The Chants R&B, The Easybeats, and the La De Da's.....

Volume 4 attempts to get more psychedelic as the band names (The Hi-Revving Tongues, Inside Looking Out, The Wright of Waye) and the song titles ("And I Heard the Fire Sing", "Krome Plaed Yabby", "Slightly-Delic") would imply, and pulls it off nicely, all in all this is a very good, fairly essential set if you're at all interested in the Aussie/Kiwi sounds of this era, and as I said I think I have another set that is (if I remember correctly) a bit better than this one, I'll have to check on that one!
