When this first came out in the late '70s it both parodied the punk rock cliche's of the time and attempted to direct seekers of aggressive rebellion back to the original '60s roots of it all. Like the "Pebbles" series from the same label, it collected some of the rarest unknown 45s of the era, but with a particular emphasis toward the rawest, wildest sounds that could be found. The idea was that anyone who liked the Sex Pistols might well appreciate these precursors, too. Later, when it was reissued on CD after being out of print for many years, some of the songs that had since become available on legitimate CDs were left off, while ten new, insanely rare and great bonus tracks were added. This is still one of my very favorite '60s comps, and most of the tracks are available nowhere else.

The CD length allows for more songs, and some that have been reissued by the original artists were removed from this set. Here's the complete listing:

1. Groupies - I'm A Hog For You

2. Outlaw Blues - Nonstop Blues

3. Mile Ends - Bottle Up And Go

4. Sound Extraction - I Feel Like Crying

5. Bohemian Vendetta - Enough

6. Keith Kessler - Don't Crowd Me

7. Age Of Reason - (Your Love Is Like A) Magnet

8. The Kommotions - Little Black Egg

9. The Ugly Ducklings - She Ain't No Use To Me

10. Groupies - Primitive

11. Guys Who Came Up From Downstairs - Growth

12. Bram Rigg Set - I Can Only Give You Everything

13. Precious Few Train Kept A-Rollin'

14. Creations Disciple - Psychedelic Retraction

15. Animal Jack - Gotta Hear The Beat

16. Color - Down The Road Apiece

17. Color - Young Miss Larson

18. Dennis & The Times - Just If She's There

19. Maltese - You Better Stop

20. Oscar Five - No More

I was so tickled to find my brothers and sisters on this CD!

None of them knew it was on Amazon!
