Why not release a brand new comp series with a new title and perhaps link it in with the release of the 60s garage bible "Teenbeat Mayhem"

This would be a great addition to the book!! Kind of like a limited edition book with a vinyl or viceversa!

I didn't read it until just now.
I thought it was quite amusing. Here are my favourite parts, from Sylvain's epic post :

You are not funny guys...
you're not willing to share...
you're keeping your best pieces in your bunkers...
you are just a bunch of old farts...
You're actually just like a bunch of priests collecting porno mags...
You're just boring guys, you know...
Mans, who probably used to be young...
you guys are crazy...
You've just been watching your own asshole too long...
You believe you are the keepers of the keys, don't you...
You're not just boring actually, you are probably OLD as well...
YOU are not doing things right...
stick it in your ass !!!

and the piece de resistance :

the vast majority of garage lovers are not of the same kind.... simply beacuse they just can't afford it

:lol:

Glad to see a topic getting so many replies here, finally! Talk of compilations usually gets the attention level up.

Vegetarian here , too - looks like non-meat eating isn't punk enough for some of the "chicken bone vest" gang.

All of this vegetarian talk got me thinkin' earlier today and I came up with a new word for the Concise Oxford Dictionary.

That new word is 'lesbiatarian'

A 'lesbiatarian' is a vegetarian lesbian.

The first 'lesbiatarian' to contact me will win a 'short, back and sides' or a 'flat top' which I'll endeavour to cut with my Fiskars hairdressing scissors...

p.s. I can't do 80s poodle perms.

Make that one more. In fact I'm wearing my new vegan Doc Martens right now. How punk is that?!

No way am I gettin' involved with a tbm vinyl or CD compilation. The book is enough. You guys won't have time to play compilations anyway once you start reading it.

I wonder where I can download TBM when the time comes... maybe I'll grab a few pages from it and release it as my own! :rolleyes:
 
Could someone explain to me the big deal about having third generation stuff on 'vinyl'? Originals? Of course! Repros of classics like "Forever Changes" and Remains S/T - makes sense. New LPs of previously unissued stuff, sure. High quality retrospectives on specific artists done legally - sure. But records of stuff that's already available on other records or readily available CDs - what's the big deal? If the goal is having some kind of authentic record experience, I would agree with a new edition of Forever Changes, but what's to gain by having a record with no bother invested in mastering or archiving of stuff that just a random collecton of songs that you can already access in seconds? I'm not arguing anything - I'm trying to understand the appeal here, so the floor is yours....

I don't really understand what everyone's getting so worked up about.
It's easy: you either buy the compilation, or you don't.

Do you really think a 17 year old pimple face will see this LP and think 'Hm, it's time to check out this '60s garage punk thing everyone's talking about - let this be my first purchase', and then never to buy another compilation again because he's so disappointed in the mp3'y sound-quality?
I'm pretty sure all 300 buyers know pretty well what they are buying, and it's their right to do so.

Funny you should mention this...I don't know how many people on here know this, but I'm only 16. I was in a record store in Dearborn, MI earlier this year and picked up the Pebbles vol. 9 and 10 reissues...although the songs on there are great, the quality is horrible. Not saying this is true for all comps by any means, but for such a big-name series, I expected a lot better.

You are hereby ordered to purchase the following:

All 8 volumes of Back From The Grave
All 15 volumes of Teenage Shutdown
All 8? Volumes of Garage Punk Unknowns (tho it might be easier to get the box set, as I think the 1st 5 volumes have been outta print for quite awhile)

Then play this stuff for your friends! We need some youngsters to carry the flag after we're gone!

Big fan of Pebbles 10 (and 9!) here. Just bought a testpressing hoping it might make a little difference. I have two or three test pressings of 60s comps and they sound better.
Pebbles is famous for its bad quality. Second only to "Boulders" maybe. Most of the other old comps have better quality. "Psychedelic Unknowns" is a great one, and was rather cheap some years ago.

I think Pebbles is a classic and 1 to 10 at least should be done again from original 45s. I brought this up once before, but it was turned down as a rather silly idea.
But there are actually a lot of things that could be done in the field of 60s punk compilations. Hopefully the collectors and labels will become a little more active.

Anyway cool to have 16 year old people around who are into the stuff!
On the other hand, as you can see in this thread, we're all basically 16.

You gotta remember, the Pebbles series was created over 3 decades ago when there were no computers to clean things up and to design slick covers. Greg Shaw was flying by the seat of his pants on those and at the time they were the shit. Then Timmy's BFTG series arrived and raised the bar by a bunch. Without those 2, losers like me wouldn't exist. Then PC's arrived and forced us Johnny-cum-latelys to step it up even more. And for a bunch of years labels like NORTON, CRYPT, ACE/BIG BEAT, SUNDAZED, FRANTIC etc. (and let's not forget BossHoss's sweet forum comps) went the extra mile to to release top-notch product with awesome sound and unknown stuff. But now it kinda seems (at least to me) that the level of coolness is going in the opposite direction. Comps regurgitating the same old songs from poor quality mp3's stolen off the net, covers with no band photos, etc. Released by so-called one-off labels with fancy 6ts monikers but in reality slapped together by some no-name cheeto-dick residing in his momma's basement. There is not much of this stuff left out there. And there is no way that Crypt can start a whole new series with a new name because to start a series you would need a series of new/unknown 45's to make that series. So I say just stay with the same old tried and true name TEENAGE SHUTDOWN. Or BFTG. And as for me I have 5 or 6 more cds and LP's (maybe/probably) planned that half of you will love and half of you will hate...It's a 50-50 world baby.;)

This is all true. With the advent of sites like RedTelephone66 and Garage Hangover, music that was previously available only from others' compilations or the actual 45s has now become accessible to all.

On the Pebbles topic, though, I think it would have been better if they had re-recorded it for the reissue.

Three words: love for vinyl.

There was a great French documentary about record collecting on TV recently. Eddie Piller did some great remarks, sitting in a pub sipping at his beer. Cool English bloke he is.
There was this French collector saying something really good: "Of course mp3s, i-tunes, downloads and stuff are practical. But what has music to do with practicability? It's about enjoyment!"
You wanna touch it, you wanna look at it, you wanna put it on the turntable, and most of all: you wanna own it. Can you own a download?
That's what makes people buy records (to start with).
 
fab to hear the Teenage Shutdowns are getting repressed.if your not a collector of rare original 45s,owning the complete set of those comps is a must based on their quality and consistency.some of the original presses are hard to get hold of...had to search a while to replace a lost copy of "I`m Down Today"

that comp looks bad, really not a fan of the poorly executed, supposedly `sharp mod` aesthetic...that just slaps a cheesy font on any old 60s photo.yuk. at least the concept of the BFTG covers had something going for them.
 
you're keeping your best pieces in your bunkers...

Yeah? Bosshoss posting 200-300 lossless rips of his collection.
MopTopMike posts about 100 unknowns in MTM Spins and contributes dozens of 45s to TS etc.
Forum comps etc. (Remember the Bosshoss Triology from 2003-04?)
