SHMULIK KRAUS --A Criminal Record (1970 psych rock)Label:MIO A lost slab of rock/psych improvisation from 1970. A well-known singer in Israel recorded many of Israel's classic popular songs, beginning with the Ofarim Trio and later High Windows (in 1967), Israel's best-know folk-rock band, who released Israel's first pop record. Krause also spent several years in an asylum. His “Cape of the Big Hope” was released in 1969, with musicians who appear on Danny Ben Israel's Bullshit 3 1/4; in 1970, some problems with the law landed Kraus in jail. He managed to get his guitar, and composed the songs for “A Criminal Record” on a 48-hour furlough, during which Kraus sped to record these tunes with session musicians; this hurried recording session gives the album a 'live' feel, and increases the feeling of mayhem. It has become the most sought-after album ever made in Israel, an unavailable gem for collectors all over the world, as only 300 copies were ever sold. No bonus tracks were recorded, and no pictures of the sessions exist. Kraus continues to write and record.” CD $12 SKU:27175

SOUL OF THE STREET -Hot Phoenix Soul Sides From The Vault Of Hadley Murrell) 1964-1972Label:DIONYSUS The liner notes for this compilation are part of the fun of the whole, making a good case for native Phoenix DJ, songwriter, and producer Hadley Murrell as a classic big fish in a small pond music hustler of the best sort -- chasing down good bands, keeping his hand in, and trying to make it big. Aside from the opening "Funky to the Bone" by Freddi & Henchi & the Soulsetters in 1972, all the cuts consist of mid- to late-'60s soul and funk efforts recorded and produced by Murrell in his hometown. There's no question that this is an effort that will find its natural audience -- those who can't get enough of such rarities will need it without hesitation, but there's nothing here immediately or uniquely revelatory for the general listener. But as a solid collection of songs ranging from the functional to the randomly inspired, The Soul Side of the Street has its virtues -- Murrell had a good ear for rough and ready, energetic performers and bands, which combined with a preference for echo, results in songs at once direct and oddly dreamy. The title track, as performed by Ray & the Dew Drops, is a great, celebratory rave-up, and other high-energy winners include the Servicemen's "Are You Angry?," Bobby Soul's "Funky Freeze" (with a weird but catchy backing vocal that stretches out the title phrase in a descending melody), and the Soulsetters' rip through "Soul Train." Slow burners like Dumas King's "I Wish You'd Come Home" and the New Bloods' "Self Service" are enjoyable though less distinct, though they do show another side to Murrell's preferences. The out-of-nowhere winner might be the last one, a last bow from the Soulsetters -- "Cecil, the Unwanted French Fry," with Murrell himself providing the crying in the background of the mix. ~ Ned Raggett, Rovi COMP CD $5 SKU:27165

BOYS FROM NOWHERE-BRIDAL ALBUM (80s garage w Lyres member)-Label:SKYCLAD Great Garage Punk from Columbus, Ohio led by Mick Divvens (Vocals, strings) and featuring John Bernardo of The Lyres on Drums CD $10 SKU:23604

CYNICS- Living is the Best Revenge ( 60s style garage )- Label:GET HIP Living Is The Best Revenge CD completes the jumpstart upon my Ray-O-Vac heart. Alongside the two above-referenced originals and the Prunes tune are stellar covers of the Satans and the 13th Floor Els (what would a Cynics album be without the band genuflecting before the sonic teats that have nourished them since their cub scout years?) plus a slew of prime Cyns’ skree. Among my picks to click are the malevolent, iPsycho”-edged “The Tone” and the interstellar hard rock jam “Shine” which sounds like Coltrane crossed with the old Alice Cooper Group. But there ain’t a duff track in the bunch, and all I can close this appreciation with is — boy fuggin’ howdy!-Fred Mills, assoc. ed., MAGNET Magazine CD $10 SKU:10900

FUZZTONES - Horny As Hell ( wild fuzz GARAGE rockers from Rudi Protrudi ) Label:NO FUN It's been some hard years for all fans of The Fuzztones. Finally the last record 'Salt For Zombies' was released in 2003. The longing for a new record is over and it was worth waiting. 'Horny As Hell' is one of the best Fuzztones creations ever! It brings you all that the Fuzztones are legendary for and much more. Mastermind Rudi Protrudi comes up with a 3 piece horn section and 4 female backing vocalists to get you the groove and to spearhead the new Garage Soul Movement that's rapidly sweeping Berlin (where the band now resides) and soon the rest of the world. So this time it's not only the Fuzz Madness that will blow your mind but also horns from hell - 'nomen ist omen'. The CD offers 17 tracks of hard-driving, hook-laden Rock 'n Roll anthems - the stuff that has made The Fuzztones inspirations to bands such as the Hives, the Horrors, and many more of today's 3rd generation of Garage rockers. Including future favorites 'Garden Of My Mind' and the Pretty Things track 'Alexander' which features Pretties' bassist and occasional lead singer Wally Waller as well as brand new versions of Fuzztones classics 'Ward 81' and 'She's Wicked' done in 'Big Band'-style. And last but not least get wild with Rudi's hypnotic vocal delivery - just as energetic and vital as when he formed the band 28 years ago! Additionally the band has made up a special tour this fall to make you go wild'n fuzzy! For that the Fuzztones 'Gonn Primitive' as Craig Moore of the garagepunk legend Gonn! appears as special guest during the tour. CD $10 SKU:10062

STEMS - Terminal Cool (83-86 gorgeous pop garage)- Label:GET HIP This brilliant retrospective captures a confident, self-assured band recorded during those hallmark years of ‘83 – ’86, and proves that Australia’s Stems were indeed an extremely varied animal. Brimming with gorgeous pop melodies alongside great garage rock riffs and backbeats, this collection effectively showcases their versatility. This reissue includes 21 golden greats that covers alot of ground from the Fuzztone hits “She’s A Monster” and “Tears Me In Two,” to the bluesy garage stomp of “On And On” ” to the pure pop goodness of “Can’t Forget That Girl”. And there’s no denying the riff rocking prowess of the Byrdsian “Love Will Grow” and the psychedelic snarl of “Jumping To Conclusions.” Top notch ressue here with interesting liner notes and this reissue also includes 5 unreleased bonus tracks.

FLATTERY VOL. 2:- A TRIBUTE TO RADIO BIRDMANLabel:NOMAD KILLER COVERS BY TODAY'S HOTTEST PUNK-ROCK BANDS: GLUECIFER, BELLRAYS, NOMADS, YESMEN, NITWITZ. For those of you who still haven't removed the scorch marks Volume One put in your CD player, forget it! It's finally here -- Jake Starr and Dave Champion's second helping of modern-day bands' takes on 15 Birdman classics. Dunno how the ex-Birdmen themselves feel about this project, but from a fan's perspective, anything that evokes the spirit and feeling of the Birdmen is welcome.
There's nothing here as unique as the Bon Führer or Boyettes tracks on the previous installment, but there's still plenty to appreciate here. Gluecifer turns in a credible "Monday Morning Gunk," hewing pretty close to the original -- as many of the bands tend to do; variation usually takes the form of turning up the intensity, losing some of the subtleties of light and shade that the originals had, but hey, call it the price of a fan's enthusiasm.
Among the more original approaches is the BellRays' "If I Wanted To," in which this L.A. band, whom I've heard compared to "the MC5 fronted by Janis Joplin," comes across more like Black Sabbath fronted by Aretha Franklin -- which is not a bad thing (and makes me all the more anxious to seek out their self-released full-length CD, which the Barman was unable to unearth on his recent Stateside jaunt, even in their hometown!).
Other highlights: Silver Tongued Devil's "TPBR Combo," the Streetwalkin' Cheetahs' quick 'n' dirty "Iskender Time," the Nomads' "Hanging On" (which these veteran Swedes -- my main men of the moment -- don't quite make their own the way they have other material they've covered), and the Yes-Men's "Anglo Girl Desire" (with guitar/saxophone interplay that captures the feel of the wild Tek-Masuak break on the "Ritualism" version). Spain's Kike Turmix showcases his, uh, idiosyncratic vocal approach to "Aloha Steve and Danno," while the Spoilers win the Land Speed Record Award for the fastest version of "Descent Into the Maelstrom" ever clocked in North America OR Australasia, and Amsterdam's Nitwitz (including Hydromatics stalwart Tony Slug) turn in a solid "Dark Surprise." Oh, and memo to the "Demons" -- it's cheating to bogart more disc time than anybody else by doing a medley!
Radio Birdman were like a gang that created their own universe and invited the world inside it...like the early Who and MC5. Rock'n'roll doesn't get any better. These volumes are just a hint of how widespread their influence remains, 20 years plus since they crashed and burned. Kudos to Jake 'n' Dave for making this happen. Me? I'm ready for another volume, starting off with, say Holy Curse's great version of "Cryin' Sun"...but in the meantime, this'll more than suffice. Grab these while you can -- they'll make you wanna do the Pop AND the Moving Change - Ken Shimamoto COMP CD $10 SKU:27029

GHOULS NIGHT OUT Vol 1- Killer Halloween Rockers For Your Thrilling Pleasure-Label:SIMPLETONE Groovy and ghoulish groovers from the deeper, weirder novelty scene of the 60s – post rockabilly numbers about monsters, bug eyed R&B about the the boogie man, surf pop with schlockly Transylvanian narrators and more! It's really fun stuff, much of it probably made in the wake of the "Monster Mash" craze, and likely played by stellar session musicians under pseudonyms – but whatever the origin, it's bizarro and wildly fun stuff like they just don't make in today's music rackets! Includes "The Cave" by Gary Spider Webb, "The Mechanical Man" by Bent Bolt And The Nuts, "Summertime" by The Thunderbirds, "Werewolf" by Carl Bonafede, "The Monster" by Bobby Please And The Pleasers, "Vampire's Ball" by Mann Drake, "The Thing (Part 1)" by Curtis And The Creepers and more COMP CD $10 SKU:16768

COMP CD $10 SKU:20466

MARIJUANA UNKNOWNS - VA ( 60s Psych ) -Label:STONED RECORDS An album with a theme, “Marijuana Unknowns” features obscure bands from the sixties toting tunes referencing the heady herb. Subject aside, which is not nearly as shocking or rebellious as it was when these tracks were conceived, this is a really great collection of songs as it examines an array of musical moods and measures. Expected to be a series, no additional installments ever appeared, which leads me to believe there were simply no funds to keep the project going. Perhaps the record label’s money all went up in smoke - pun purposely intended!

Marked of mouth-watering bubblegum ingredients, it’s no surprise Ron Dante, whose merry pipes inhabit sugar-coated ear candy by the likes of the Archies and the Cufflinks, is the vibrant vocalist behind the Two Dollar Question’s hook-happy “Aunt Matilda‘s Double Yummy Blow Your Mind Out Brownies,” and then there’s The World’s hilarious “Pot Party,” which should actually be called “LSD Party,” as it consists of a gaggle of people laughing themselves silly while a bluesy surf rock band noodles away in the background.

MICHIGAN MAYHEM!- Vol 1 (top notch 60S compilation, featuring garage, psych and hard rock entries)Label:MORE FUN 28 forgotten 60’s Michigan garage gems. TRACKS: Sweet Cherry – Eight Day Blues, Blues Co. – Love Machine, Illusions – City Of People, James T. & The Workers – I Can’t Stop, Quests – Scream Loud, Outcry – Can’t You Hear, Psychotics – If You Don’t Believe Me Don’t, Chevrons – Hey Little Teaser, Grifs – Catch A Ride, Undecided – Make Her Cry, Aardvarks – I’m Higher Than I’m Down, Black Rose – Love Handles, Pagens – Mystic Cloud, Jammers – You’re Gonna Love Me Too, Ebb Tides – Séance, Terry Knight & The Pack – How Much More, Olivers – I Saw What You Did, Quests – I’m Tempted, 9th Street Market – I’m A Baby, Beaubiens – Times Passed, Rationals – Little Girls Cry, Sweet Cherry – Funny Things Floating, 9th Street Market – You’re Gone, Ruby – Confusion, The Old Exciting Scot Richard Case – Get The Picture, Rationals – I Need You (alternate take), Ascots – So Good, and Pleasure Seekers – What A Way To Die. DESCRIPTION: For fans of riff-driven, raw garage rock, Michigan Mayhem Vol. 1 is a good place to start. Most of the tracks on this are good and it's a fairly eclectic compilation—from the acid rock of Black Rose to the psych-pop of the Pagens to the to the R&B-influenced garage rock of the Rationals to the countrified homage to beer by the Pleasure Seekers. Not all of the tracks on Michigan Mayhem Vol. 1 work but the range of styles represented here makes this compilation an interesting and essential documentation of the time period. Seance by the Ebb Tide provides an example of the low-budget horror film music that a number garage revival bands focused on several years later. I'm not sure why this was the case—music like this too often just plods along. The last track in this collection What a Way to Die by the Pleasure Seekers is notable because they were an all-female band with a young Suzi Quatro on bass. The song asks her boyfriend not to make her choose between him or beer, which she loves above all, apparently. The title comes from the acknowledgement that beer does not lead to a healthy lifestyle, "I may not make it to 21 but what a way to die" (Hey, remember when alcoholism was funny?) The flip side of this single is much better but not included here. Both sides of the Pleasure Seekers' single are available (with much better sound quality) on the compilation Friday at the Hideout, but that's not to say that Friday at the Hideout is a better compilation than this one. The driving, infectious garage rock on Michigan Mayhem Vol. 1 more than compensates for its occasional inconsistency and less-than-perfect audio quality. As indicated in the title, all of the bands on this compilation came from Michigan, which had thriving scenes of all sorts of music, particularly in Detroit. Perhaps what makes Michigan such a good source of garage rock of the sort on this compilation is that it incorporates eclectic influences while still retaining the inspired amateurism of garage rock. Highly recommended! COMP CD $10 SKU:27046
