The contest is now officially closed

Thanks to everyone who entered, with a total of 100 unknown '60s garage tunes making their first public appearance here. The next step is to make sure that every song has at least 8 ratings. Some of the later entries would not have reached the minimum 8, so please send in ratings when you have the time. This especially applies to anyone who has already contributed ratings to some songs but not others. To be fair to all contestants, your personal ratings bias should apply equally to all contestants, not just to selected candidates.

After every song has been rated by 8 judges, I will apply the Unknown Formula to each entry, and I will list all the songs in order of popularity. Then a winner will be announced and the prize will be awarded. As the final stage of the contest, we will reveal the real names of the tracks and the combos responsible for them.

Also in regards to cutting ratings for sound quality - consider we're judging the performance, not the transfer, and that in an ideal world we could deliver the acetate or tape to someone for a professional job. People are posting unheard, unreleased music from all kinds of sources, including home tapes and transfers, so give it some slack.

No one said this had to be like America's Got Talent, I saw it more like "how would you rate this if it appeared on a comp".

I think I've covered everything here. I rated a few earlier but pretty sure I've given the same rating again for the ones I've repeated. Some good stuff, I think Greenfuzz had the strongest overall selection, Rick's #1 being the best song to my ears, Chaskit also had a strong group.

of 'Lookin' for girls' fame?

Yes, same band. The master tape I found had 5 Pharaohs tracks, all great but Lookin For Girls is the best. All the songs feature the accordion.

Rich To Rags (posted here)
I Knew You Lied To Me (posted here)
Lookin' For Girls (on G45 Unwaxed)
Isle Of Love (on Norton acetate comp)
The Mummy (instrumental)

Chaskit Clip6: 4

Don Julio Time Will Prove Them Wrong: 6

Thanks for all the good music and fun! :tiphat:
 
You recognise the awesomeness of The Young Tyrants!
I don't know but to transform that song into a real garage tune, devoid of any hippie connotations, without changing the chords or melody, that is close to alchemy. And I really like it, the vocals, the guitar, the tambourine. Very cool!
