Description:

＜The 51st in the "60's Garage Disc Guide" reissue series, this compilation of U.S. flat garage music is finally here! From 1964 to 1966, countless teenage flat rockers performed a mix of rock 'n' roll, R&B, surf, and British beats under the influence of The Beatles. The most popular bands made their way into local teen clubs. Clubs and managers would make a fortune by releasing singles of their original songs. This compilation focuses on the most popular material from the countless wild garage flat rockers that remain. Let's Dance with No-Nonsense Rock 'n' Roll! A compilation of 26 popular songs from the American flat garage scene.This is a great introduction to Flat Rock in a single disc, including some that have risen in price in recent years, 7" reissues, reproductions, and of course, the classic tunes! (Flat Rock: One of the early forms of garage rock that gained popularity in the 1960s, especially in the first half of the decade. It was cheerfully played at parties, college events, etc.) Commentary: Jimmy Masuko
