"LOVE FADES AWAY" - USA Garage Greats 1965-1967 (and beyond!)

This cool comp was a result of a record show that Gyro Records went to on a Sunday, November 2000.These 45’s were all found there after much digging, and the result was this fantastic collection! I still can’t believe that I would find this many records at once, but Gyro Records has always been able to spot the 60’s garage vinyl! Highlights include The Pendulums, The Glory Rhodes, The Surrealistic Pillar, George Washington & The Cherry Stompers, The Prodigal, The Wheel Of Fortune, The Eastern Alliance...and many more. (I can’t say enough about the spectacular art work for these ace comps!)

The Lyres "Nobody But Lyres" 1992 + "We sell soul" 1991 - 7"/45rpm

Not their best but damn good. More covers, less Monoman originals but I still love it. Lyres were the best of the garage rock revivalists (Cynics a close second) and Jeff Conally is still keeping his music alive to this day. All of his records have been good, some are great - he deserves the accolades of those who like this kind of music. - Peter Baum

...This lineup would record the first Lyres release for Boston's Ace of Hearts Records, a four-song EP that came out in 1981 called AHS-1005 (some fans called it "Buried Alive" in reference to its first song). The EP won the group attention outside of Boston, and a single followed in 1983, "I Really Want You Right Now" b/w "Help You Ann."... to be continued - by Mark Deming

Thee Milkshakes vs. The Prisoners "Live" 1985

A quality live album from start to finish. Just a plain old quality album really, never mind the live bit. With the exception of the first couple of singles, it's probably my favourite slice of The Milkshakes. Energetic, full of vim, vigour, fun and tunes - it really is the sound of band right at the top of their game, a game that everyone wants to join in with. Bruce in particular does himself proud on this...
...Swap "The Prisoners" for "The Milkshakes" in that paragraph, and you have a fair comment on the second side, too. Although you'd have to take out the Bruce Brand bit, obviously. Storming out of the blocks with the very best available version of "Melanie", there is barely a chance to draw breath until the arrival of "American Jingle" (which the eagle-eared amongst you will recognise and the tune that ended up as the little jingly bit between "Whenever I'm Gone" and "Who's Sorry Now" on The Last Fourfathers). Driven, powerful, impassioned, the chaps turn out a fearsomely tuneful garage racket that temporarily renders all other forms of music quite redundant. The onslaught eases slightly through the second part ("A Taste of Pink" is welcome, but I've never really been a fan of 96 Tears in any of its incarnations) before we close with another of Graham's peerless pipe workouts, a wholehearted and thrusting take on "Love Me Lies". Quality.

"ANNA MACORA" A New Kind Of Mambo Vol. 26

Desi Arnaz Senior (i.e. Lucille Ball's Father-in-law) Mayor of Santiago de Cuba 1925: "The 'conga', the 'rope' and other similar dances full of improper contortions and immoral gestures that do not belong to the culture of the city are not and never have been manifestations of the masquerades and conflict with their tradition…
...I refer to as the 'conga' that strident group of drums,frying pans,and howling, to the sounds of which epileptic, ragged and semi naked crowds run through the streets of our city. Between lubricious contortions and brutal movements, they disrespect society, offend the morals, cause a bad opinion of our customs, lower us in the eyes of foreigners, and, most gravely, contaminate by example the minors of school age who are carried away by the heat of the display, and whom I have seen, painted and sweaty, engaging in frenetic competitions of bodily flexibility in those shameful wanton tournements."

The Milkshakes vs. The Prisoners "The Last Night at the Mic" 1985

Live from Chatham is cleaner and warmer, like your fondest bootleg tape,..
...while Last Night at the M.I.C. is uncontrolled hysteria. Thee Milkshakes vs the Prisoners (recorded live in the studio) is pure libido on parade, and one of the band's vinyl peaks.

The Lyres "A Promise Is A Promise" 1988 + "Baby" 1992 - 7"/45rpm

A Promise Is a Promise combines old, new, studio, and live material -- both original and covers -- from Boston's legendary garage rock combo. Tracks one through 12 were recorded in New York City, tracks 13 through 15 were recorded live at VPRO in Holland (before a radio audience), and track 16 was recorded live in Rennes, France. Despite the crazy quilt impression, it all hangs together surprisingly well as the performances are universally tight and energetic...
,,,Interestingly, there are two versions, both live and studio, of "She's Got Eyes That Tell Lies" by Him & the Others (there is no duplication otherwise). Other notable covers: "You'll Never Do It Baby" (the Pretty Things), "Running Through the Night" (the Mystic Tide), "Jagged Time Lapse" (John's Children, Marc Bolan's pre-T-Rex outfit), "Touch" (the Bristols) with Wally Tax, and "Witch" (the Sonics). Also worth noting: Stiv Bators (the Dead Boys) guests on the opening track, "Here's a Heart." The original Ace of Hearts CD and cassette editions drop "We Sell Soul" (from Roky Erickson's pre-Thirteenth Floor Elevators group, the Spades) and add "Jezebel" (Frankie Laine), "Go-Go-Girl" (Bolan), "Help You Ann" (from On Fyre), "Don't Give It Up Now" (from Lyres Lyres), and "Cinderella" (the Sonics). "Help You Ann" and "Don't Give It Up Now" are the only live versions that don't quite work: the former sounds rushed -- maybe they were already tired of playing it by this point -- and the latter is marred by a homophobic comment (about AIDS) from lead singer/keyboard player, Jeff "Monoman" Conolly. Thankfully, he sticks to the original lyrics for most of the rest of the live material. A Promise Is a Promise isn't the best starting point for the Lyres neophyte, but, for those who already know and love On Fyre and Lyres Lyres, it's a worthy addition to their collection. - by Kathleen C.

"Baby" 1992 - 7"/45rpm
...This lineup would cut the first Lyres single, "How Do You Know" b/w "Don't Give It Up Now," for Sounds Interesting Records, and highlights from one of their gigs would appear on the 1987 release Live at Cantones. By August 1979, the band has splintered, and Conolly would recruit guitarist Alex Kronos, bassist Scott Parmenter, and drummer Bob Mackenzie for live work. A handful of other musicians would drift in and out of the Lyres before mid-1980, when Conolly teamed up with Peter Greenberg on guitar, Mike Lewis on bass, and Howie Ferguson on drums... to be continued - by Mark Deming

What trad is really about is songs that deal with a feeling, not a narrative. Short riffs that stick in your brain and get you charged up. The Kanaloas get it.

The Prime Movers "Sins Of The Fourfathers" 1989 + "Crystalline" 1990 - 12"/45rpm EP

The Prisoners split in 1986 after four albums and the sadly inevitable music-industry-induced agony, but the Day / Crockford partnership didn’t stay dormant for long…
...After a stint as drummer for the Mighty Caesars with Chatham’s very own Renaissance man Billy Childish, Graham Day was re-joined by his old partner in 1989, along with ex-Daggerman Wolf Howard on drums, and formed the Prime Movers. Allan and Wolf had been part of the original line-up of the James Taylor Quartet (formed after the Prisoners split), but were now free agents. The Prime Movers recorded the raw and unpolished ‘Sins of the Fourfathers’ as a three piece, and were soon joined by Fay Hallam (ex Makin’ Time) on organ. Two subsequent albums followed but the band called it a day in 1993. - discogs

"Crystalline" 1990 - 12"/45rpm EP
Nice one! Love this EP. A real treat and a relief that Graham and Alan were in a band together again, after the acrimonius prisoners split, a few years earlier, plus the wonderful additions of Alan's JTQ bandmate, Simon "Wolf" Howard, and Graham's then wife, and Makin' Time organ maestro, Fay Hallam (Day). - Kieran McAleer

"Blue Rose Collection" Vol. 9 2002

American guitar rock bands, singer/songwriters and country and southern rockers, for whom the big record companies don't seem to have any room, have been finding shelter with the small but fine Blue Rose label for some time now...

As on Vol.1, there are some top-class acts (Dashboard Saviors, Continental Drifters, Elliot Murphy, Jupiter Coyote, etc.) to discover! [bs]

The Lyres "Live At Cantones - Recorded A Long Time Ago" 1987 + "here's a heart" 1988 - 12"/45rpm

...Conolly saw DMZ play at a party and dug their sound, but Schwartz was soon bounced from the lineup for seeming too mannered. Seeing an opportunity, Conolly soon volunteered to take his place, and became their lead singer while also playing electric piano...
...DMZ (who briefly featured David Robinson on drums before he left to join the Cars) released an EP on the esteemed independent rock & roll label Bomp! Records in 1977, and Sire Records soon offered the band a major label deal. However, DMZ's self-titled debut album, produced by Mark Volman and Howard Kaylan of the Turtles and Flo & Eddie and released in May 1978, didn't capture the full impact of their live show, and by the end of that year, DMZ had split... to be continued - by Mark Deming

"here's a heart" 1988 - 12"/45rpm
...Not about to throw in the towel, in January 1979, Conolly debuted the first edition of Lyres, who differed from DMZ in some small but significant ways -- they eased back on the '70s punk facets of their music to focus on '60s-style material, they found Conolly moving from piano to a Vox Continental organ, and featured one guitarist instead of two. The first Lyres performances featured the final DMZ rhythm section of Rick Coraccio on bass and Paul Murphy on drums, with Rick Carmel on guitar... to be continued - by Mark Deming
