Back again with more US Garage gems after our last set that was posted not even 2 month ago. Which means, the river of uncompiled nuggets might be a creek now but is still running. Again, you’ll meet all unknown / forgotten / underrated bands and artists (except Steve Alaimo, and Bobby Comstock, RiP), and you’ll also hear a few unreleased acetates, and audio clips from TV shows. This set features 3 groups of the same moniker (Escorts, Continentals, Hi-Boys), thought they’re all different combos. As usual, we start in the pre-Beat era of the early 60s with some tunes I file under “Garage”, and we stop our expedition in 1968, so the all over sound is quite rough and a-kickin’, no lame tear teasers and folk ballads here. Finally we have to thank all you tubers listed in the booklet who generously decided to share their treasures, especially some 60s Beat aficionados as Jane DeNeefe, Scott Johnson, Justin C, downstate sounds, Linda Lee, and lexingtunes (Shawn Chambers of the lexingtunes site has written a good book on “The Vinyl Years of Central Kentucky"), For the rest, I’m still wondering if The Bifocals you see on the cover are all wearing the same black rimmed spectacles, or is it some window pane joke glasses. I’m afraid, we will never know…
