7x7 is (Part 1)

You guys should appreciate this one, I'm pretty sure I've never put this one up before (if I have, sorry,
but it would have to be a longtime ago)....."7x7 is" is a very fine, wonderful, set of US garage rock singles (A&B sides) from the more recent era......how about four discs today, and the remaining three tomorrow? this is some badass stuff, you will want these......highlights of the first four discs:

Well, Disc 1 lads off with the incredible Brood, whom I have featured here before, with another of their fantastic singles "Since He's Been Gone"/"You got Me Crying"....definitley the disc highlight, but ALSO some Laughing Soup Dish, Pleasureheads, and the grea Untold Fables........guys, this is a set you WANT, and I think it is at least somewhat hard to locate.

Disc 2 ALSO leads off with the grat Brood, also the magnificent Cynics , Optic Nerves, Ten Tons of Lies, and Thee Cellar Dwellars, among others, TRUST ME FOLKS, YOU WANT THESE ALBUMS......PERIOD

OK, we move on to Disc 3......the MOS familiar name here is Plasticland, who do NOT disappoint, we also get Tommyknockers, Boys From Nowhere, Black Angel's Death Song, The Fall Outs, and more, again, a wonderful disc, you are gonna want them ALL

Last one for today will be Disc 4, we'll do the rest of them up tomorrow, Dead Moon and Planet 9 are th best known acts here, nothing at all wrong with THAT, also Aching Void, Fingers of Doom, Ten Foot Faces........this is a MAGNIFICENT collection, and YOU WANT THIS.........

I could put up all 7 discs tonight, but why the FUCK should I? check these out and you will be BEGGING for the last three, it's a fantastic set, you will love it all.......raw, retro, totally cool garage rock at its finest.
