Yet another of about a zillion German compilations with various obscure combos and/or tracks from the sixties. Often frowned upon by posh gatherers, but for a long time collector like me who's always looking for oddities they can be a gold mine. This is all American mid-sixties rock'n'roll. Apart from The Risers "Match The Test", a pick from their long forgotten one-off album She's A Bad Motorcycle", there are no outmost rarities on this one, but all unusual enough on early vinyl to make it worth while. Two by post-Holly Crickets, two very good surf up-tempos from The Fantastic Baggys, two fine live takes from The Big Beats "LIVE! Off Broadway" and three rocking instrumentals by the T-Bones. I guess P.J. Proby and Gary Lewis & The Playboys still are considered common and/or collectible in some circuits, but not that familiar for the ordinary music lover. The P.J. Proby cuts sounds like enhanced mono while the rest are true stereo and the audio surprisingly fine for a compilation like this. Musically or auditorily maybe not suitable for young digitized ears, but well fitting old analog blokes like me. (SÄM*) (GÖXÄ*)
