It Came From The Garage II (320kbps): http://www.archive.org/details/ItCameFromTheGarageIi&reCache=1 I Spent a good chuck of time digitizing the out-of-print compilation It Came From The Garage II from the original vinyl. I thought some people here might be interested. Here's my description from the archive.org download page: "Recorded by Wanghead Records in the summer of 1987, It Came From The Garage II is an out-of print compilation and rarity that features the first recordings by the Gories, a band that later spawned the Dirtbombs and directly influenced the White Stripes, while others bands like Termites of 1939 seemed to have recorded just one song. I recorded it from the vinyl straight into my computer. The download is a .zip file with 320kbps .mp3 files of the songs. The .zip file also includes a scan of a flyer that came with the album that has a short blurb about each band. Complete track list: Gories- You Little Nothing Artphag- Golf Zombie Surfers- Zombie Drums Termites of 1939- Shrunken Shirt 3D Invisibles-Wolfman on Your Trail Snakeout- Gopher Holes Nine Pound Hammer- Crawdaddy Elvis Hitler- Ghouls (Looking For Food!) 52 Devil Babies Born With Tails- Underdog Nine Pound Hammer- Runaway Train Jerry Vile- Rootin Tootin' Vegas Raz Experience- Kapow! Elvis Hitler- Sweet Jesus Gories- Give Me Love Lost Patrol- Commanchel Fishcats- My Lips Are on Fire Treblemakers- Little Cockroach Natives From Earth- How Can I Miss You? (If You Won't Go Away)"

Wow , it's very cool of you to do that. Of course , Dan Kroha , um , "Fronted "The Demolition Dollrods, concurrent with The Dirtbombs ( The two bands did a show here , about 12 years ago , billed as ALMOST like a Gories reunion !), though Dan  went solo before The Gories reformed . Peg was briefly in the original '68 Comeback lineup , then dropped out of music until The Gories reformed. 3 D Invisibles are probably doing special Detroit shows this month , so never mind The Detroit Cobras or The White Stripes , Here's the heavy , heavy MONSTER SOUND ! SNAKEOUT ARE ALSO PLAYING OUT , ON A REGULAR BASIS , I'm told. Artphag was A sNAKE - Out offshot band , also heavy on the silly. Elvis Hitler used to play here in Chicago a lot.Their Rockabilly meets Speed Metal sound was a bit unusual for the time , but now there's a zillion bands with standup basses , Heavy Metal guitar and drums , Misfits "OH - wHOA --oh"vocals , and they're calling it "Psychobilly", like the English movement of almost 30 years ago never happened.

oh snap, i was just doing a google search for this... for years now i've only had a shitty ripped version that appeared up on the Psycho Graveyard blogspot back in 06

Supercool, thank you.

Awesome! Thanks!

Yeah, this is great stuff that I've never heard before. I'd also love to hear the first volume if anyone can find it...

They aren't two volumes of the same compilation, but two separate records in the same series, so they weren't a package deal. I imagine the first volume is equally hard to find.

Thanks! But what about the first volume?

i did see a few other versions floating around, but i couldn't find any copies that were above 128 kbps so I thought people might want a high-res version.

 

I'm glad you guys appreciate the music!

Very cool! thanks for sharing the goods with the people that care!
