4.0 out of 5 stars Great garage rock comp, January 16, 2005

By 

TimothyFarrell22 (Massachusetts) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Back From the Grave 1 (Audio CD)

Like many garage-philes have stated, this is the next logical step in the history of garage rock, right after the enormously influential "Nuggets" and "Pebbles" compilations. Unlike some other comps of the sort, Crypt is only interested in bringing out the best of 60s garage rock 'n' roll. This is a perfect testament to why some people considor this to be the original punk rock. I wouldn't go that far, but it certainly influenced it a good deal. While some songs on this album are better than others, there are no really unbearable tracks. "Surfside Date", the cover of "Psycho", and espescially "Sticks and Stones" show why this music was so appealing to the teens of the day.

I have personally known "Tim Warren" and his excellent "Crypt" label since the mid 1980's and by far he has put out the very best in 60's Punk compilations! The "Back From The Grave" series is excellent! I highly recommend getting all eight volumes if you decide to purchase the series on vinyl. The songs are all great! Tim does a lot of research on each and every song and actually does his best to track down the original band members so he can get the scoop on the song! He also has put out another great compilation series called "Teenage Shutdown". I also highly recommend this series as well! For all of you who still live in 1966 like me, and refuse to put up with the so called "Rock 'n Roll songs of today, then both of these series are for you! 1966 forever!

5.0 out of 5 stars SUPER ROCK!!!, June 19, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Back From the Grave 1 (Audio CD)

Here it is, the GENUINE ARTICLE!!! Good ol' fashioned GARAGE PUNKERS from the 60s, when the losers in school formed bands and sang about the girls they couldn't get. PLAY THIS WHEN THE FULLER BRUSH MAN COMES TO THE DOOR!!!

Includes the most sentimental song of all time - "The Crusher" by The Novas.
