5.0 out of 5 stars Garage-rockin' madness!!!, June 16, 2007

As far as garage-punk goes, Crypt Records' Back From the Grave series has been one of the most consistantly rockin' collections of raw mid-60s music ever assembled. This is the fourth CD volume in the series, an insanely awesome compendium of garage-rock crash 'n' bashers from all over the country. The songs are pure deranged teenage rage: The Mustangs' "That's For Sure" opens the proceedings with a storming organ attack and some snarled vocals. The Tyme povide a brutal, earth-shaking rendition of "Land of 1000 Dances," and the Noblemen's "Short Time" is a sneering, leering pounder with a nasty fuzz guitar. The Snails' "Snails Love Theme" is a weird and wonderful raver with some greasy vocals and a droning main melody. The Retreds' "Black Mona Lisa" is a groovy, violent blues rocker with a brutal, back-to-basics rhythm. Half-Pint & The Fifths "Orphan Boy" is a drawling screamer with a catchy chorus. The disc also includes two tracks from the Spiders, who would later become Alice Cooper (!). Both songs are rough, ragged, and loose, completely absent of Coop's stiff hard-rock leanings. The Travel Agency's "Jailbait" is every bit as wonderfully sleazy as its title, and the Moguls' "Ski Bumb" is an attitude-drenched stomper with a somewhat hilarious concept. The Bel-Aires "Ya Ha Be Be" is an incredibly catchy organ-driven tune with some great vocals and some churning guitars. Beep Beep & the Roadrunners' "True Love Knows" combines raw rock with a certain haunting wistfulness. The disc also features Larry & The Blue Notes' "Night of the Sadist," which is a rougher, earlier, meaner version of their "Night of the Phantom," which was a highlight of Back from the Grave, Vol. 1. The afformentioned songs are only a few of the highlights that can found on this superb album- this disc contains no less than thirty songs of raw, gritty rock n roll insanity. Get it if ya know what's good for you!

4.0 out of 5 stars Best In The Series, April 5, 2004

This review is from: Back From the Grave 4 (Audio CD)

When it comes to the vinyl, these records were releaed in (apparenty) whatever order Tim Warren came across them. Now on CD, he's spread the goodies around a little more evenly -- and this CD gets at least it's fair share. "I've Got Somthing To Say," "Night of the Sadist," and "Orphan Boy" are obvious winners, and the proto-Alice Cooper Band "Don't Blow Your Mind" will make you shake your head in disbelief the next time you see him sweating eyeliner at a charity golf tourney.

Basically, if you're into this kinda music you've already got this CD. And if you're just gettin into it, well -- get it. No jangly crap, no wanna-be Beatles, just angry, beer-fueled rawk-n-roll. And you can't beat that.

this cd has some really great garage. one thing i would like to mention, is that 60s punk is full of awesome organ parts.
