Last Of The Garage Punk Unknowns Volumes 1 & 2

Not to veer off topic, but it seems like the remastered BFTG VOL. 2 that Tim is re-releasing has NEW tracks included?

The Hysterics "Won't Get Far", Sweet Cherry "Funny Things Floating", Unknown Band "Little By Little", and The Deverons "On The Road Again".

What a great idea to replace some of those original tracks. The Hysterics definitely deserve to be in there!
Crypt is on fire!!! :sunny:

can't work out the logic of this. Must ask Tim the reasoning. Confusing - and anyway, why rewrite history?
 
anyhoot, overall I think their very strong openers, especially Vol 2. You can read more thoughts of mine in the next Shindig!, out April 16th in the UK. Usually appears in Europe a week later, and another couple later in the US.

I think Mark Taylor explained it rather well in a past post. :cool:

Back From The Grave vol 2 is the one that Tim W expressed regrets about later on, which makes listening to it fun. What exactly is it that isn't up to Grave standards? Because it's still a damn good comp...

Individually, all those tracks are worthy of BFTG. Maybe it has something to do with the way it fits together, or the fact that there are fewer ultra rare/ultra raw monsters than some other volumes. Also..

When you look at the track list, there are 3 near-novelty frat bashers (Crusher, Scream, Surfside Date), 5 major label releases (Roy Junior, Cry Cry Cry, Crusher, Lyrics, Brigands), 4 re-issued from earlier comps (Cry Cry Cry, They Prefer Blondes, They Can't Hurt Me, All I Really Need Is Love), 3 covers (Snoopy, Summertime Blues, Satisfaction), and only about 4 that I would rate as really hard to find (Banshees, Hatfields, Reasons Why, Ralph Nielsen). Compare that with volume 5, or volume 6 for example.
 
I don't really care for the replacing of the old tracks to be honest. Somebody who I know also shared the same displease towards the idea of Tim changing the tracks. But one cannot argue that The Hysterics don't belong on a BFTG... They surely do! The rest are grave worthy contenders as well.

The Unknown Band "Little By Little" is a NEW track if I'm not mistaken.. That's VERY appealing, and I must hear! :cool:

Crypt has officially announced that we can order all of this! I saw it on their FB today :cool:
 
Haha, exactly, get em hooked then jack up the price!

What is entry level garage these days though? What can you find for $10-20 now?

I got hooked buying up Sonics records after being exposed to The Nuggets box set in the late 90's. Now those same records seem to be regularly in the £100+ category.
 
I think 64 LPs should be pressed. Each LP would contain 8 tracks per side, making 1,024 tracks. That's enough for the entire TBM top 1000, plus 24 bonus tracks.

The tracks would be randomly selected from the TBM top 1000, and their ranking number would be noted on the sleeve. That way you would avoid having all the best tracks end up on one of the LPs. The concept would be "here's all the best 45s as voted by the TBM panel, in pristine sound".

They would be sold individually, or in a set of 64 LPs. The 64 LP set would contain an extra double LP of un-comped tracks. It would not be available individually.

Mastering would have to be done by Tim (or if modesty permits, some of it by me). Sleeves would have to be constructed the old fashioned way, with slicks pasted on. They would have to be sprayed with some kind of specially formulated G45 perfume that made them smell like real LP records from 1966. A bottle of the G45 "LP1966" perfume could be included with each 64 LP set, for personal use.

Title - Teenbeat Mayhem Volumes 1 - 64.

It would have to be either 65 volumes or 66. Definitely not 69 or 70.
Apologies to those pictured in mockup. How many can you name?

There'd have to be hundreds of killers - well, no less than 100 - not included in the TBM top 1000! 24 bonus tracks would not sate my appetite for garage, nor yours I'm sure! But 1024 tracks would be a good start: maybe a good project for our retirement :sonny:
 
I think every track should be made available; each set would be grouped by the TBM rating

1st LP set - the 10s.

2nd set = the 9s

3rd set - the 8s

and so on. Lotsa vinyl.

15,500 tracks , 7 songs per side = 1,107.14 LPs
 
Yes unfortunately, if you released them in order of rank, only the top 10 LPs would attract reasonable sales. The remaining 1,097.14 LPs would have to be pressed in small quantities, perhaps 6 copies per LP.​
 
Since we're in fantasy land, it would make more sense to press sets of replica 45s of the G1000 (plus some hundreds of additional titles), using the same brands of presses used to make the original 45s as they were issued, the presses being refurbished or even upgraded to create the best possible sound. The deadwax would have MT or TW's mastering code, and the labels would be exact except for a small indication of a reissue.

Deluxe versions of the set would include a bunker for an extra $200,000 or whatever that cost, local zoning permitting.
 
Hey, listening to the LOTGPU #1/2 disc, and that Unknown group sounds an awful lot like a track on a certain Midwestern artist's LP. It made me laff. And it is a bitching take of that standard. I think that on the LP, the artist credits that track to himself, not Mr. Harpo, so fair is fair. "No label acetate," tee hee....

I recognised this but couldn't place it. Now It just hit me that it's Terry Knight & The Pack "Got Love" (flipside to "You're A Better Man Than I").
