Rock — All Formats  

A buzzing collections of rare and previously unreleased garage rock singles – cut by the legendary Norman Petty at his Clovis Studios! Petty is being best remembered as a key figure in Buddy Holly busting the hillbilly/rock/r&b distinctions wide open in the late 50s, but Petty was was behind a ton of wonderful and comparably unheralded pulpy rockers throughout the 60s. This is a particularly searing and hard charging set – including the heavy Brits-influenced title track by the Holly-less Crickets, plus cuts by The Trolls, The Cinders, The Perils and many more! he 25 tracks in all: "Now Hear This" by The Crickets, "Three Minutes Time" and "Barbara White" by The Cinders, "I Don't Recall" by The Trolls, "Get Out Of My Life" and "It's Only Time" by The Chances, "Hate" by The Perils, "Sweet Sweet Sadie" by The Teardrops, "Say I Am (What I Am)" by Stu Mitchell & Doug Roberts, "Hey Little School Girl" by The Famous Last Words, "Love Me Again" by Barry Allen with Wes Dakus' Rebels and more!

A host of songs that may be familiar to your ears – but in versions that pretty obscure! The collection follows wonderfully in the spirit of the unique first volume – and again offers up the original versions of songs that later went onto become big hits for other artists – often presented here as indie 45s that hardly made much noise upon original release, but which obviously harbored enough genius to lead to famous recordings in later years! Styles change up nicely – a bit of rock, soul, and other modes in the collection's mix of 24 tracks – and titles include "California Dreamin" by Barry McGuire, "Hush" by Billy Joe Royal, "Sorrow" by The McCoys, "I've Got My Mind Set On You (parts 1 & 2)" by James Ray, "Old Man Willis" by Tony Joe White, "You Got What It Takes" by Bobby Parker, "Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye" by Don Cherry, "Leavin It All Up To You" by Don & Dewey, "Sing In The Sunshine" by Hoyt Axton, "Mustang Sally" by Sir Mack Rice, "Mbube" by Solomon Linda's Original Evening Birds, and "Higher & Higher" by The Dells.
