No-brainer top-shelf garage from Europe (and beyond..?)

Fantastic topic! Learned a couple or more great tunes!

Here's one from my motherland (other side is superb too, but this is my favorite):


...and another one...


...and one of my all time faves...


I just LOVE the Phafer tune posted before. Too darn rare 45 unfortunately!

Been lurking for quite a while (every now and then), but this is a great forum and I try to stay tuned.

Who'd except this from the (crazy) pop Italian? And sung in greek too?! I must admit like it better than the original. Sacrilege? Maybe!

shouldnt those (obvious) ones qualify as well ?





 
Stumbled on this one for you. Welsh Wildmen! The Mountain Men - Too Many People. Not that song... but so freaking primitive I pooped a little. They wore goat skin jackets and boots they even adopted a goat from their local zoo and took it to the recording studio!

Wow! New to me, must own! I think this the most US garage sounding disc I've ever heard from the UK

Just looked around about an hour ago to see if there were any floating on the inter-webs. Found a BIN on ebay! Problem was... it was over $700:boggle:

Was the quantity find the solid center or the push-out, do you know?

I didn't know there were two versions until you pointed it out. I bought my copy many years before the quantity find. It has the push-out centre. Therefore, I assume the quantity find must have the solid centre, since the eBay copy has a solid centre. Maybe the quantity find is actually.....a boot?!? Or a re-press...?

However, examining the eBay scan closely, it is identical to my copy except for the lack of a push-out cut. Even the paper quality looks the same. The eBay copy also appears to lack the serrated indents around the label which are definitely on my copy, but it's bit hard to say that for sure from the scan.
 
Here's a scan of my copy. It shows the serrated indents around the label which are quite prominent.

Thank you for the information Mark. The serrated indents are certainly a bona fide proof it is an original pressing. I don't think bootlegger have ever been able to copy that pattern/have the machinery capable of doing so. I will be looking for thepush-out then. Not a big fan of solids anyway!
