Before Garage Rock became a recognised genre, a new generation of American teenagers were taking the raw excitement of Rock 'n' Roll, Surf and Rhythm & Blues and making a sound all of their own.
The Early Sounds of Garage Rock captures that moment with sixteen superb recordings that trace the roots of what would later become known as Garage Punk. Featuring an outstanding selection of artists including Rockin' Robin Roberts, The Ventures, The Rivingtons, The Rock-A-Tones, The Rumblers, The Teen Beats, The Wailers, The Frogmen, The Surfmen, The Frantics, The Champs and more, this collection is packed with primitive guitars, driving rhythms and youthful enthusiasm.
Whether you're discovering the origins of Garage Rock or adding another essential compilation to your collection, this LP is a fascinating journey back to where it all began.
