I'm consolidating my files and have literally thousands of recordings sent to me by bands that I contacted/was contacted by during my 60sgaragebands.com run. I'll share some of them here. Most will be average quality/low-fi but I'll post the better ones.

This is an unreleased recording by a Back From The Grave group. Any guesses?

If you're looking for feedback, it worked fine for me.

And I loved the singer's voice.

Wow...that was fast. I hadn't even finished my post when your reply came in. Thanks...

Here's one titled 'Where Bad Boys Go', a 1966 acetate by Ada, Oklahoma's Monuments. Their lone single was 'African Diamonds'/'I Need You' (Alvera-M-65). This one really grew on me over time.

Here's one by Brooklyn's Ow-Bow Incident. I contributed two demos for the Norton Records Unissued Garage Acetates series by their earlier incarnation, The Creations. I don't recall if this has been heard before. It's complete stick-to-your-brain ear candy, and I really like it. More poppish than most of what I'll be posting here but it deserves a wider audience. It's titled 'Willie Day Dreamer'.

Just happened to pop in at the perfect moment, I guess. I saw the post when it just said 'test'.
That's some sort of a manifestation of Murphy's Law, of which I'm a huge advocate.

Will have to listen again and then go back to some BFTG to see if I can figure out the group.

For the first track posted - just going by the vocal, my guess is The Rats.
The Ox-Bow Incident track is good. Touches of Monkees and Beach Boys but original enough to stand on its own.

Or maybe The Snails?

 

[greenfuzz]

Not the Rats or Snails but good guesses. I thought the lyrics might give it away...

Aha!

 

[greenfuzz]

That’s correct. The song title is ‘From A Zygote To A Pirate’.

 

[Outside_Lookin_in]

Red Beard & the Pirates was my guess, just from the singer's voice, and playing style.

 

[Outside_Lookin_in]

I really did the Monuments - got hooked on first listen!

Here's one by Indianapolis' The Wild Things ('I'm Not For You'/'Love Comes, Love Goes' on Showboat). The title is 'Standing By My Side".

This Hoosier appreciates that fine track - any other Indiana goodies lurking about?

The Wild Things have several unreleased songs. I’m sure I have other groups too. Sir Winston & The Commons, The Space Between and Keith Murphy & The Daze come immediately to mind but there are more. I’ll have to look.

Here's a live recording by Chicago's Wet Paint titled 'Let The Rain Fall'. The band had two singles on the Royal Hollywood and Formal labels. Like many of the live recordings I've collected, this is very lo-fi.

My notes failed me here. I can only assume I was contacted and sent the songs but when I followed up for a possible interview I never heard back. I have band member names but no other information, even locale. The band is The Barons, and it's a Byrdsy track titled 'Peace Of Mind.' I don't believe this was released but please correct me if I'm wrong.

Do tell! Sir Winston & the Commons are at the top of my home state list of fuzz busting favorites.

Nice summary of Keith Murphy's King period of work here:

I liked it. The piano reminded me a little of "I Could Be So Good To You" by Don & the Goodtimes.
