Synopsis

Album Description

This second release in Ace?s exploration of the Cuca Records legacy taps into a rich vein of raw garage and psych rock cut in the Mid-West between 1966-69 and released on Cuca and subsidiary labels such as Night Owl and Wright. Most of the original, quite superb, 45s were pressed up in very small quantities and were generally only promoted locally, making them extremely rare. Joey Gee & The Come-Ons? legendary ?She?s Mean?/ ?Till The End Of Time? appear here in stereo straight from the masters for the first time. Add to that, seven previously unissued titles of equal quality (including two by Joey Gee) and "Garagemental!" more than lives up to its ?Ultra Rare? sub-title and doesn?t waver from start to finish. Compiled and annotated by Rob Finnis.

"hello... hello.... hello..... anybody out there? am i writing this review in a complete vacuum? will my words be seen by anyone? i feel existential and alone at the moment. anyway, here goes: this is the 2nd volume of recordings from the obscure cuca records, which operated in southern wisconsin from roughly 1959 to 1969. this disc covers 1965-69, the garage rock and psychedelic era. not as good as the stuff on volume one, "elemental," a wonderfully fun compilation of surf-style instrumentals, this cd is nevertheless fun for its obscurity and the cheesy sincerity with which these young nothern-midwesterners brought to the studio to perform garage-psych music. no threat to be found here at unseating the beatles or the stones or hendrix as the masters of the sixties sound, but that's okay. fun stuff, and i recommend it for lovers of the obscure."
