We have a real passion for 60s rock, more specifically the evolution of garage bands in the wake of the British Invasion. The garage/psychedelic compilation has been around since Lenny Kaye put together Nuggets in 1972. Nuggets was the first comp that had nothing to do with chart position. Kaye put it together for his love of mid to late 60s bands that had a unique sound, who were mostly unsung. To the modern listener it might seem odd that an LP in 1972 would compile recordings from 1965-1969 to document a style of music that had not been categorized in its own time. After all, the difference between the music of 2003 and 2006 is not a far cry from each other. In fact most "modern rock" radio stations play songs from the last 15 years or so without any major clash of styles. Things moved much faster in the 1960s. The world was a completely different place in 1966 than it was in 1972. There is just something so unique about the mid to late 60s and you can hear it in many recordings of the era. By now, there are hundreds of garage and psychedelic compilations. Nuggets may been the earthquake, but Pebbles in 1979 caused the landslide of releases that continue to this day. Despite the massive number of re-releases, there are hundrends upon hundreds of lost records, that if not found and preserved, will soon be lost forever. Our goal is to find, document, and preserve the music and the experience of the garage and psychedelic south during those vital years of American history.
