Rare Psychobilly From The Vaults opens the doors to the archives of Alan Wilson's influential X-Ray Studios, uncovering a treasure trove of rare and previously unreleased recordings from the formative years of the British Psychobilly scene. Best known as a founding member of The Sharks and publisher of the long-running Deathrow fanzine, Wilson went on to become one of the scene's most respected producers, making this collection a fascinating document of his early work behind the mixing desk.
Across 24 tracks, this unique compilation features rare recordings by The Sharks, Frantic Flintstones, Breakout, The Men From Uncle, Lux, Skabz and Rockin' Bandits, capturing both established names and forgotten favourites from the golden era of 1980s and early '90s Psychobilly. Much of the material appears here for the first time, offering an irresistible glimpse into the creativity, energy and raw excitement that defined the underground scene.
Whether you remember these bands from packed clubs and well-worn fanzines or you're discovering them for the first time, Rare Psychobilly From The Vaults is a particularly fascinating document of Britain's Psychobilly underground. With 24 tracks spanning rare and previously unreleased recordings, it offers an excellent opportunity to dig deeper into the work surrounding X-Ray Studios and rediscover some of the artists who helped shape the scene during its formative years.
