The Smoke - Half Past The End

The Smoke - My Mamat

The Eutopia - Chocolate Pie

Frantic keys, super fuzzy guitar and a dude screaming about "chocolate pie". What's not to like!?!???

The Eutopia - Chocolate Pie

The Mopptops - Our Lives

Heavy fuzz rocker from 1968? Sounds a bit later to me, maybe '72-ish.... Either way, it's a killer track w/ a message that still holds true today. Were these guys from Hawaii?
The weather here on the East Coast has been down right brutal of late so wherever you are reading this i hope you stay cool in more ways than one.... Prost!

The Mopptops - Our Lives

The Children - Evil Woman

The Children or Yesterday's Children as they are most know as, put out a killer hard rock masterpiece of an album on Map City in 1970. I have no idea why they are only "the children" on this 45 and at first i thought this might be a different version but after listening to the album again the seem to be the same? Anyone? This is a straight ripper!!!

Enjoy. I'm off to NYC to see David Gilmour at Madison Square Garden!

The Children - Evil Woman

The Corporation - I Want To Get Out Of My Grave

Groovy little uptempo garage/pop/psych nugget with nice fuzzy guitars and a smattering of heavy organ throughout.

Formed in Milwaukee in 1968 at Cudahy's Galaxy Club where the Kondos brothers joined up with members of an outfit called Eastern Mean Time. Some months later they were heard by Capitol reps at another club The Bastille, which the band had bought into.

With a contract for an album the band journeyed to Detroit to record at Terra Shirma studios with producer John Rhys. Released in February 1969, the LP is notable for the side-long psychedelic rework of John Coltrane's India. All tracks on side one were group compositions. It was successful in several regions (No. 3 in Milwaukee) but only rose to No. 197 in the national charts.

The group made more recordings but a deal for a second Capitol album fell through and this material was eventually spread across two LPs released by the band on Age Of Aquarius, a Cuca custom label (Fuzz, Acid & Flowers).

Snow - Caterpillar

A little pop psych nugget from 1968 by Snow. Sounds like these guys must have heard "Sgt. Peppers" and "Pipers At The Gates Of Dawn" smoked some weed and took it from there. There's a cool little fuzzy guitar riff sort of hidden in the back that i wish was blazing instead of hiding, but i hear it.

The Werks - I Got The Feeling

Another little known heavy rock 45. Sort of like a heavy Bloodrock or Vanilla Fudge. Great fuzzy guitar riff and a killer wha wha solo and organ spiced throughout. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Trix - Official Business

I bought this 45 being told it was from the 70's but I don't think that is correct? This has a early 80's party metal vibe to me but I could me mistaken? Anyone have any info on the group or 45?
I really dig the really fuzzy guitars and solos...
