Bought the other day the "remastered" CD from Crypt of what was once upon a time, "Back From The Grave" Volumes 1 & 2 LPs and I'm telling you people, I was very GLAD that the master of primitivism the great in many levels Tim Warren have finally decided to update sound and packaging on the ol' classic bibles of RAW sixties punk that many of us here grew up with! And that led me to post these...
For some strange reason, probably due to (then) problems with rights, there's no Crypt logo on 'em. The whole design and attitude though betrays that Tim had a hand (or two...) in putting together these, he-he. Anyway and just for geeking reasons I'm telling this, I think the only time "Garage Punk Unknowns" had a Crypt mark on was on this 4 vinyl box. But then again, the box got out in 1998 and these CDs in 1999 (I think)... Who knows? Tim works in mysterious ways.
So for the newbies, "Garage Punk Unknowns" were the spinoffs of "Back from The Grave" volumes (along with the "Teenage Shutdown" series that I totally worship). Crude, unpsychedelic 60s punk raunch from the teens that tried to imitate the Stones and the Kinks (and thank God) they utterly failed! If you're looking for the original proto-punks in rock & roll history, these pricks in here are the ones man. Cheap guitars, pounding drums, screams and adolescent snark all the way!
Fuck Hippies. Amen.

I forgot to write also that some of the first volumes had as label some Stone Age Records. A quick look on the artwork says that it's actually Crypt though! Ha ha.

cheers!
This is awesome. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteAlways true words to qualify our feeling. I like to read you. I was never fan of Tim W. but always for Garage Punk music. For me BFTG is not a bibble as there was lot of comps issued before: Pebbles, Boulder, Calico Wall... And lot of issued with sometimes only 1 or 2 volumes. Anyway i recognize that Tim initiated a style of comp and teenage music. By your post you will give me the opportunities to really listen Garage Punk Unknown serie. Great post. Thanks.

Many thanks for the kind words my friend! I know Tim's a very "difficult" person but his touch on everything cool along with people like Billy and Miriam from Norton, is undeniable. Keep the rocks rollin'!
DeleteNow this is FAB! A friend was asking me for this and it magically appears...thank you!
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting this!!! FWIW volumes 01 and 02 are mixed up, but both seem to download with no problem. Keep up the good work y'all!!!!
