Fave Find on a Garage/Psych Comp

60's Garage & 60's Psych fans R forever acquiring comps while chasing a beloved tune from those times.
The artist never released an album and/or the single is so rare as to B unattainable at a reasonable cost or effort.
The gist of this thread, is in the inevitable obtaining of yet other comp, you come across a song you've never heard B4 that entices U as much or more that the song U brought the comp for.

Offen times buying these comps for that one special song, we're disappointed w/the source and/or mastering. It's always great to find a "Silver Lining" artist/song!
Such as:
Perfume Garden Vol. 3 T1
"Take Her Any Time - The Longboatmen"

Just "Shooting in the Dark" comp collectors can comment as well on their Surprise Songs!!

 

Going for a better source/mastering for
"You're Gonna Miss Me - The Spades"
got "Epitaph For A Legend" & found:
"I Tried So Hard - The Chapparrals"

 

Searching for better sonic 'Sonics'
got (worth getting) "Required Etiquette"
found:
"Mistake - Ron Davies"

Not a Garage nor Psych song per se; just one of the moodest songs ever recorded. Would have never found it. NEVER. It was unreleased till BIG BEAT [UK] released the comp!

 

Great thread idea! Some of mine:

From Nuggets II: The Masters Apprentices - "War or Hands of Time"

 

Nuggets: The Zakary Thaks - "Bad Girl"

 

omg this trashterpiece from Back From The Grave: "The Rat's Revenge"

 

and this one from the One Kiss Leads to Another box set: The Tammys - "Egyptian Shumba"

 

U can really find some nuggets in those 'Nuggets' can't U!!!
hahaha

Really liked the jangly echoey guitar!

 

Lots come to mind but this might be the most epic imho...

 

Flight To Lowlands Paradise Volume 2



Too many to list actually, but I always liked this 1. Solid comp of Dutch Beat.

 

I remember the first time I ever heard that song - off the 45, in the house of the guy my old band was staying with after a gig in Cleveland OH. It was about 4 a.m. and I had been dozing off, but sat bolt upright when this song came on. Definitely one of those "What the HELL is that?" records. I mean that in the best possible way.

 

Third Booth - 'I Need Love' turned out to be my favorite on the 'Ear Piercing Punk' comp...but it sounded terrible,
very muddy and distorted. Luckily, the original 45's are plentiful and cheap:

 

Yeah, definitely this one, my favorite find on the Nuggets box.

 

When picking up 'Litter' came across
Garageaholic! Psychedelic! Outsider Music!
like for two bucks; worth unleashing for a small bite into Arf! Arf! if U don't know much bout the label
found:
"Little Girl - Victors"
what was as cool as this song is cool is Victors was the 1st band for some in "The Litter"; to cool!!

 

That's to trashy!!
LOL
May B the 1st Psychobilly song ever!!!
hahaha

 

I'm a novice to garage psychedelia, so my pick comes from Nuggets. "Don't Look Back" by The Remains is probably my favorite find, but I also really like "Open My Eyes" by The Nazz.

 

May B shoulda/coulda just had the thread B:
'Songs U found on the Nuggets Box'
hahaha
My entry into that specific segment:
"Run, Run, Run - The Gestures"
Kinda Poppy, kinda Surfy, kinda Garagey.
Strange enough for me tho!
Minnesota band to boot.

 

Nuggets II: No Presents for Me by Pandamonium

 

From Ace Records' Uptight Tonight: The Ultimate Garage Collection. The title is hyperbolic but it's a very solid compilation.

 

Kinda C&W Garage, huh!
Like how 'sloppy' (no offense intended) & 'gravelly' the vocalist is; great 60's 'sound', seems like he'd B good in a lot of bands in a lot of decades [50's - 10's]!

Why did U buy the comp?
[completely understand/BIG Ace/BIG BEAT fan LOL]

 

Yeah, there's a definitely rockabilly tinge.

I got it because only a few songs overlap with Nuggets, and it seemed like a logical next step.

One more from that CD:

 

LOL
literally
LOL
That guy is the "Poster Child of Psychobilly".
[fashion style & musical style]
hahaha
Think that cleared out my sinuses to!
Thanks.
