Great, thanks! I couldn't recall where that track came from....

I was looking into the One-Eyed Jacks from Champaign, Illinois. MTM says it were two different bands, but I found a story on internet that says otherwise. It's a recollection of two members of the band: Barry Fasman and Budd Carr (http://www.benmclane.com/OneEyed.htm). Now I'm wonderin' who's right.

Excellent excuse for re-posting one of the more unfortunate band promo shots of the 60s

 

[AZ54]

Nice pic. It raises another question: is it One Eyed Jacks or One-Eyed Jacks? Die Today on Lakeside says One-Eyed Jacks. The White Cliffs release doesn't have the "-".

A strange coincidence? MTM says Burlington Squires are form Eau Gallie (part of Melbourne) in Florida and Burlington Express from Eau Claire in Wisconsin. First I thought it to be typo, but both cities exist.

I'm a newbie here on g45, but just wanted to say to Mike, I bought TeenBeat Mayhem! a year ago and I really don't think I've gone more than two or three days without picking it up! In fact, I tend to turn to it multiple times a day! Now that's what I call value!

I enjoy the rankings, but treat them strictly as a guideline, thank you. I'll always decide for myself what my own rankings shall be, and as can be expected, some are higher and others lower, but your rankings are a great place to start when buying a 45 "unheard".

Hello,
I can't find any informations about The Spiders who recorded Where Is She and La Da Do Da. They are mentioned in the index but i cannot find them in the book.
Thank you for any hint of localisation and/or date of recording

That's exactly how I approached the ratings - to be a guide, provided by a consensus group vote average - not my individual vote (which is often higher, or lower than the shown result).
I wanted to give an idea of what something would rate, especially if it is a general unknown to most 45.
If you see some ebay seller shouting that he's offering a killer garage 45 that is non comp'd and can't be found anywhere on the internet, your first move should be to look it up in TBM. 9 times out of 10, it will either be a low-rated 45, or something that can't be considered TBM-worthy (it sounds like a 45 from 1974 by Chicago).

This omission was first pointed out back in the fall of 2012. The unreleased Damon label KC Spiders will appear in Beyond TeenBeat Mayhem. Right alongside some other unlisted Damon label acetate groups

Fantastic discography. Love the top 1000 scans. Rarity indicators would have made it the perfect buyers guide.

Uncannily enough, I agree with "You're gonna miss me" being number 1. Although there are a number of songs I prefer, I've long considered it the most representative of what sixties punk is about. It is the most proto-typical garage anthem, and when I'm watching the video lip-sync clip, nothing is better. I love most of the songs in the top 100 (of those I recognise), in fact.

There were some surprising omissions from the list though: "Reckless Ways" and "Not now". And some songs were ranked surprisingly low: "Abba"; "You lied to me before"; and "Anyday, anywhere" to name a few, which I would have placed in the top 10.

Anyway, all in all, congratulations on a work of significant cultural value.

Excluding a rarity guide in TBM was a no brainer, right from the get-go.
Rarity is never a constant, in most cases.
Imagine if I had listed the yellow label Denise & Sonics Inc "Nobody To Love" 45s as one-of-akind ultra rare 45s before TBM headed off to the printer. I'd be getting even more flack than I already do now!
The overhauled G45 website will be your go-to spot to provide such information - info that, over time, will be updated accordingly, and quickly. A book simply cannot reliably document that aspect.

 

[Outside_Lookin_in]

Actually, in most cases rarity is fairly constant, but point taken: An electronic database - which the G45 list is of sorts - is the best option.

Just got a tip that the flip to In-Sex Girls is called Love I Understand.

 

[Bellino]

Yes, that's the late Zero Boys guitarist Terry Hollywood's high school band from 1972.

 

[Bellino]

But it's just The Insex, not In-Sex.

 

[Mr.Segment]

But it's just The Insex, not In-Sex.

But is is the same band? And what about the other In-Sex 45, same band as Girls?

 

[buckeyebeat]

The In-Sex on Hammer were from Philly. Same band as the Down Children on Philips. They had two 45s. I have/had the 45s but I didn't notice that Vince Montana was the arranger. Not his typical sound/production....

 

[Bellino]

This one is the Insex "Girls" b/w "Love I Understand" (though the flip is not posted):

Totally different band...
