Ugly Things # 34: another 60's garage mistery solved!

[massb]

For those who don't know yet:

As always we have an array of fantastic stories lined up about some of the greatest overlooked bands from the '60s and '70s. Headlining features this time include the story of The Haunted (Montreal garage icons of '1-2-5' fame), the wild and mysterious Milan a.k.a. The Leather Boy, The Viletones, and a garage-punk mystery unlocked at last: The Bees, who were responsible for the insane 66 acid-punk freakout 'Voices Green & Purple'!
Also Cyril Jordan shares his personal memories of The Beatles and the first wave of the British Invasion, Greg Prevost digs into his deep archive of Byrds collectibles, and there are stories on The Spike Drivers, French proto-punk glam freaks the Rob Jo Star Band, Brit R&B combo The Others ('Oh Yeah'), The Blue Aces, Dandelion label folkie Beau, Dutch beat from Jenny & The Rascals, and striped trousers from The Velvet Illusions. And of course our extensive review sections covering all the latest reissues, rock'n'roll books and DVDs.

Beside Ugly Things reissues the single w/ picture sleeve!

not sure how many here will enjoy their story (or their sound), but Rob Jo Star Band LP is supposed to be officialy reissued in a little while (with an unissued 45 included).

THE BEES!

Looks great, as always! I'll be grabbing a copy for sure

This looks awesome. Will be sure to pick up a copy at Weirdo Records next time I'm there.

I bought the re-issue/boot that's already out there here the other week. Amazing album! Thanks for making me aware of this group awhile back. Who's doing the official re-issue? The one I've got looks good and has crystal clear sound. A band job?

Born Bad records in Paris with help from the band. They used a mint copy and a very efficient engineer to remaster from it as no one seems to have the original master, but they have the o. master for the unissued 45.
