    • What about Get Hip?

    • Sounds like a good idea to have both, I wish you the best of luck with that! :)

    • Yes, I think you summed it up:  this kind of limited release is for the hardcore collector enthusiasts -- those of us who really love this kind of music, and for people like us the combination of a digital/CD release with some vinyl makes it more special.

       

      Of course the fact that garage "fans" themselves are making it so difficult for indie bands (by sharing/downloading so much gdigital stuff for free) is another story!

       

      But I am determined to have a vinyl 45 made, one way or another, to go with our CD box set! :)

    • Yes I can understand that it is far more difficult and we don't want to miss out on great music which is mainly an underground scene. I think perhaps joining a label is a good idea but you can get shafted, (remember The Prisoners with stiff),you don't want to lose your independence. Nice to go with a label like Dirty Water, dead By Mono or damaged Goods and release both CD and a limited vinyl pressing for the die hard vinyl enthusiasts such as you and I.

    • I agree that vinyl is the best way to go to have a release that is truly special -- but should a band now go-it-alone to press their own stuff or still partner with a label? I never considered that when we were releasing records regularly in the 1980s and 1990s, but as was said above, it's now a lot more difficult...

    • I still remember in my early teens flickin' through the 60's section in my local record store,with shakey hand's in anticipation of comin' across a Kinks or Pretty Things pic sleeve.

      I felt the same way when i held our first singles.

      "CD's?" Nah,not for me i'll stick with the vinyl......or so i thought back then.

      These days i'm not so sure of how much publicity comes from a release.Alot of the record companies we used in the 90's hit hard times and no longer exist (or now put out very limited runs of their releases)

      It pains me to admit it but digial is prob. the way forward though my love of vinyl will never fade.("aaaahhhhhh")

    • I asked this in one of the record company groups here, but I'd like to hear what other bands and garage fans think, too:
      If you could approach one current indie label about releasing a new garage-psych vinyl 45, which label would that be? Or does the idea of being associated with "a label" even matter today?  

      We've been fortunate enough to be associated with some of the coolest labels over our decades of releasing records, but we might consider going digital-only for our upcoming 25-year retrospective releases -- and for the first time avoid traditional distribution and vinyl altogether if we must.
      Please share your thoughts, fuzz friends!

    • Closing this discussion to try and steer more of you towards the discussions for each separate volume happening over in the GRGPNK Records group. Go there!

    • I like this one with the German band The Magnificent Brotherhood

    • Anybody seen any recently-produced music videos that knocked their socks off?  PRODUCED as in, with some production value, style, story, what-have-you, not just a live clip.  I wanna see!

       

      Thanks-

    • I cannot speak for Eastwood's Hi-Flyer in particular. However, I have been playing an Eastwood Sidejack for over a year now and I can not speak highly enough for it. Rag on China and Korea all you want but their current production methods meet or exceed the standard here in the US and the Eastwood guitars show it.

    • There's 15 of them.  The serial number on the spine points out which volume it is i.e. TS-01 or TS-15.

    • Johnny Thunders & Wayne Kramer do "Like a Rolling Stone" on their Gang Warfare album.

      It's not technically "garage" but Mike Ness of Social Distortion does a cool cowpunky version of "Don't Think Twice" on his Cheating at Solitaire solo album.

    • Show #325: "Bands & Artists Starting With M, Part 4"

      Every 3 weeks I do a show where I randomly draw a letter from the alphabet. Then I play all bands & artists in my collection from the 50s, 60s and 70s that start with that letter in alphabetical order. This week I drew the letter "M". This is the fourth time I've drawn the letter "M", so I will start from where I left off (which was with Curtis Mayfield). So, tune in tonight (Friday at 10:00pm EST) to hear 3 hours of bands and artists that start with "M" like: Maypole, The Maytals, The Maze, David McCallum, Toni McCann, Cecil McCartney, Paul McCartney & Wings, Chris McClure, Charlie McCoy, The McCoys, Danny McCulloch, McCully Workshop, Eugene McDaniels, McDonald & Giles, Country Joe McDonald with Grootna, Mike McGear, McGough & McGear, Roger McGuinn, McGuinness Flint, and many many more!!!
