If you enter the below
"USA Garage Greats" "blogspot"
(with quotations) you'll find a website which provides the series.
I should mention that the blog has an image on the page which might be awkward to explain - if opened and viewed in some public area.
Welcome to the forum. It's doubtful that Mr Frantic above is going to receive a thousand likes for referring to "garage greats" as a POS. By my recollection (which you can confirm by doing a history search) , you'll read opinions from other forum members stating a high appreciation. It's my understanding that Mr Gyro66 provided his collection (and also recordings shared by his garage-fan friends) as a kind and self-less gesture.
"Rip off?" I'd beg to differ. However, Mr. Frantic would appear to be more qualified than any to speak on that particular subject (for starters - ask him how he acquired an original Graveyard 5 single).
I was lucky enough to be around when these were being provided on a nearly daily basis. If you are unable to fill the missing gaps, you (unless Mr. Gyro66 chimes in and disapproves) are welcomed to PM me and I'll be glad to help.
In some of the comments sections, for the last month or so, he has been reposting these fabulous comps. It will take a bit of searching but he does post one almost every day.
As for what Frantic says, I have to vehemently disagree with him.
Is there anyone who could sum up the history of the series with a handful of sentences?
The USA Garage Greats series is not only a completely ridiculously over-the-top bonkers effort. It is a goddamn bona-fide cultural achievement.
I read one fable-like claim from someone here that the good Gyro and Ryp recorded all under one sitting in a fevered week. This can impossibly be true, but makes a great tale.
So - does anyone know? I just might put them on my blog (I don't want to overstep my boundaries on this fine forum) and it'd be nice if I could provide some documents on how/why they were made.
Hm, I still can't find any viruses. I might not have as strong protection as you do. No one ever did complain before. But I will not post any links here anymore.

It is the "Tapsnake" virus, whatever that is. It causes your browser to freeze. As soon as I downloaded your first file, the virus struck. Which is a great pity because I LOVE the Garage Greats series, and wanted to download some missing volumes for myself. Thanks for trying, if you can get it up virus-free, I will be very happy!
Actually i just tried it again, and nothing bad happened...but I will let you know after I have downloaded a few more. Probably best not to have the links here anyway. The hills have eyes...
