From Back From The Grave Part One : Crypt Records : CD-0123
Having so much music, it’s easy to forget what’s available to listen to (I know, whine, whine, poor me). But the other day at a friends house, a couple of great garage/punk rock compilations called Back From The Grave were playing. This reminded me that I hadn’t dug my copies out in a long while, which brings us to this day.
For those who aren’t too familiar with the garage/punk rock music from the ’60’s, then this series is your best intro/middle/thesis. These are seriously some of the best of the genre that you’ll ever hear.
This is PUNK ROCK: - Rock n’ Roll from the fuckin’ suburs & rural areas made by the “LOSERS” and MISFITS that the jocks, preps and “winners” hated in high school. These bands were formed by 12 to 17-year-olds; most of ‘em issued one 45 in their 1 to 3-year life-span, on their own fuckin’ labels in editions of 75 to 500 copies and never saw any media/radio coverage - which is great cos’ MAJOR-LABLES couldn’t exploit and destroy it! (from the liner notes)
Crypt Records has lovingly compiled 8 lps/4 cds worth of this stuff. So, get ready to open your ears up to these raw sounds from the truly desperate. Punk Rock, indeed!

This is a great comp. I love the Unrelated Segments from Detroit, but I think my favorite thing on here is “The Crusher.” It’s tough as hell and funny at the same time. I think the Cramps covered it.
