With 4 different bands of the same moniker, this set could have been dubbed “The Chosen Few of..”
Apart from the Astronauts and Cyrkle, Terry & the Flippers and Jack Ely, all other bands’ names were new to me, so I’m proud to present another charge of rare records that have slipped the official discographies (with highest esteem to TeenBeat Mayhem) and have been collected in no place but here. And I promise, in one way or the other, they’re all shiny gems. As listeners might have noticed, I have widened the Garage-term slightly to include records beyond the usually suspected so you’ll meet novelty records, bands with full fledged brass sets and even orchestra. All deliver great garage sounds tho’, at least to my ears.
