Editorial Reviews

Check out the artists and song titles on this disc. They'll serve as a once 'n' final warning for anyone thinkin' they've just scored some nostalgic good vibrations from the feelin' groovy sixties (Congratulations, you're about to buy the wrong collection, bub). No, what we have here is the untold, bad-attitude underbelly of that decade's rock 'n' revolution; a teenage nation that churned out thousands of raging garage records that rarely escaped Hometown U.S.A. obscurity. These are the 45 rpm singles too extreme for their time…

5.0 out of 5 stars The Beat Goes ON!, September 3, 2006

This is the first of seven volumes in the Garage Beat '66 series and it is awesome. This series first caught my eye in my local indie record shop and after seeing it for a while, I broke down and bought all five volumes. It was worth it needless to say. I had listened to my Nuggets sets forever and was wanting a great way of expanding my collection of the 60's no-hit wonders and this was perfect. This collection offers a great variety of garage-psych-blues-Yardbirds/Stones-wannabes and much more. The recordings are fantastic, often sourcing original masters and producing a much higher fidelity to the originals than other collections have. Plus it is released from Sundazed who seems to have taken the mantel of maverick upstart releasing great old material from Rhino. Overall, I rate this collection very highly because it does offer a great selection of regional bands as well as those few that managed some chart action. Furthermore, the liner notes are detailed. That might not mean much to some people but that was huge for me when I opened this set up and had some background to peruse on each band as I listened to the music. You can't go wrong with the Garage Beat unless you just can't turn it up enough.

I give this 4 1/2 stars. Another twenty track various artists CD collection of those super-obscure never-heard-of psych and garage bands, on the Sundazed label. Tunes I simply couldn't get enough of were Fever Tree's-"I Can Beat Your Drum", the Sparkle's "Hipsville 29 B.C." (also like The Cramps version), the sort of Jefferson Airplane-like The Kreeg's "Impressing", Odyssey's catch "Little Girl,Little Boy", Five Of Us gem "Hey You" (brilliant name,huh?) and the jammin' Just Two Guy's "Eyes" (possibly the disc's best cut). Essential.

This is the cure for boring prefab pap. This is the ultimate way to clean out your speakers of any dust that may have accumulated. Heck, this is probably the cure for cancer! Like it says, 20 Garage rock singles too extreme for 1966, from the master tapes, sound quality is GREAT! If you have the Nuggets box, or any of the Pebbles collections, you need this right away and quickly! For the first timer, this is a good way to get into the Garage Rock scene. LIKE, WHAT ME WORRY? HAHA HA!
