That's right, my little record biz buddies have returned from their seemingly endless vacation and sent me some GREAT new titles! We got the new SHINDIG for you, a new shipment from OFF THE HIP, and a whole bunch of other things that you're gonna love.

And, even MORE exciting, yesterday we had a visit from the legendary PARKER GRIGGS of Radio Moscow fame and I sat that boy down and had him autograph a bunch of titles for you! 10 each of 4 different cds and 2 LPS, no extra charge for the autograph while they last, and that wont be long!

Check it all out, click on the pretty pink box to see the full list, (just drop the title or the SKU into our search to find your item). If you cant find it, we probably sold out, we try to take things off as they sell to avoid sad customers.

Thanks for everything kiddies!

REAL KIDS- No Place Fast- (70s pop punk Label:NORTON In the beginning, or at least in 1975, there were the Real Kids, maybe the best pop-punk band Boston ever offered up. Their fantastic self-titled debut came out in 1977, but it stiffed commercially. The Real Kids broke up and leader John Felice became a roadie for the Ramones. Then, in late 1978, Felice formed the Taxi Boys, who were basically the Real Kids with a slightly reshuffled lineup and a new name, and released an EP that was nearly the equal of the Real Kids' debut. Then for some reason, Felice and company went back to using the Real Kids name and released their second (third?) album, 1979's sweaty, garage-rockin' OUTTA PLACE. Got it? NO PLACE FAST is a CD reissue of the TAXI BOYS EP and OUTTA PLACE, and it's prime late '70s pop-punk, as good as the genre gets. CD $12 SKU:18364

SYNDICATE, THE - The Egyptian Thing : L.A. Garage 1965 (in-depth insert written by Ugly Things' Mike Stax with a cache of photos ) -Label: BREAK-A-WAY The story of the Syndicate runs along similar lines to countless other rock’n’roll bands in the mid-sixties. They got together to have fun, made some noise on the local teen scene, recorded a couple of singles, made a vain grasp for the brass ring, then vanished into thin air—all within the space of two magical years: 1965 and 1966. What makes the Syndicate special, though, is those two hard-to-find singles. “My Baby’s Barefoot” and “The Egyptian Thing”, both released in 1965 are two of the most savage, hot-wired blasts of Punk R&B mayhem ever etched into wax, while the flipside of “The Egyptian Thing,” “She Haunts You” showed the group were equally adept at moody, minor-key material. The “Egyptian Thing” album presents the band’s four A's & B's alongside four unreleased, same-calibre tracks from the same period, and an earlier 45 by the Ris-Kays featuring Syndicate front man Bill Rash. An in-depth insert written by Ugly Things' Mike Stax with a cache of photos compiles the legacy of a band, whose 45s are among the top wanted items in their genre, making this release the ultimate Syndicate collection and an unforgettable garage punk adventure.CD $18 SKU:15963

SONICS- Boom ( 60’s garage ) GATEFOLD - Label:NORTON The Sonics' second album is every bit as explosive and influential as their debut outing, loaded with gritty Northwest rock & roll. Sandwiched in between the abrasive classics of "Cinderella" and "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark" (with the Wailers on backing vocals), the funk sass of "The Hustler" and "Shot Down," the demonic "He's Waitin'," and the sledgehammer, inside-out version of "Louie, Louie" (only three chords to play and they don't even play 'em) are the band's straight-ahead takes on old R&B chestnuts like "Skinny Minnie," "Let the Good Times Roll," "Don't You Just Know It," "Since I Fell for You," "Hitch Hike," and a nice barn-burning version of "Jenny Jenny." Where the Wailers cut down the trees and paved the highway, the Sonics were the first group from their neck of the woods to take that music somewhere wilder than their original inspirations. The second chapter of Northwest rock & roll after you absorb the Wailers' Golden Crest sides. -allmusic.com LP $17 SKU:18365
