"The Sonics are one of the greatest "unknown" American rock bands of the 1960s. They rocked harder than anybody and singer Gerry Roslie was one of the all-time great screamers. While they never had any national success, they were a big influence on punk rock. This CD contains most of the best material that they recorded for Etiquette Records, except for their Christmas music. There is also a radio ad for a Sonics concert and an interview with bass player Andy Parypa. The interview isn't really something most people will want to listen to more than once, and the CD would have been better off including more songs instead. Here is the complete track listing:



1. The Witch

2. Do You Love Me

3. Boss Hoss

4. Dirty Robber

5. Have Love Will Travel

6. Psycho
