The Bad Seeds EP

The Bad Seeds’ story is a familiar one. A product of the youth-fueled sixties rock ’n’ roll wave, they enjoyed a meteoric rise on their home turf, the Texas Gulf Coast. For a band whose few records exemplify Texas garage rock at its finest, they didn’t last past the summer of ’66. But what they did leave behind is indelible: 45 rpm sides that rival the upper echelon Nuggets rock of the era. With an unmistakable sound that mixed-up early Stones with gutty Texas twang, the Bad Seeds put hometown Corpus Christi on the musical map in the mid-1960s.

This extended play collects the absolute cream of their original J-Beck Records output, from the pure Lone Star swagger of “I’m a King Bee” to “All Night Long”; easily the most Elevators-inspired jukebox selection ever. And to make it essential, the Bad Seeds’ ultimate statement, “A Taste of the Same,” makes its welcome return to vinyl.

Rock n Roll Vinyl Rips - Bunker Hill & Link Wray

If you've ever heard "The Girl Can't Dance" by Bunker Hill, you've got an idea what kind of incredible capacities a human voice can have. The song altogether, with Bunker's mind-blowin' caveman-alike hollering is so way beyond belief, that there ain't just enough superlative words to describe its invincibility. Bring it together with Bunker's other early sixties novelty masterpieces, and you've got there a load of the most powerful black rock'n'roll ever made.

Under the guidance of Vernon Wray he recorded three frantic secular singles, all backed by Vernon's brother Link Wray along with the Raymen. The debut disc, "Hide and Go Seek", was Bunker Hill's biggest hit, cracking the top 40 in 1962 and becoming a regional smash in the DC area. Two highly charged singles followed, "Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf" and the unruly "The Girl Can't Dance", and while neither did much business in their day, both enjoy serious dance floor racket time today.

The Milkshakes - Brand New Caddilac (Big Beat EP)

The Milkshakes were a very prolific group, recording nine records in their six years together. Childish and Hampshire split the lead vocal duties and the band was very much a blend of Childish's primitive songwriting and Hampshire's more melodic leanings. The group also masterminded and backed a Medway girl group, the Delmonas. The Milkshakes broke up in 1984 and Childish, Brand, and Agnew went on to form Thee Mighty Caesars where Childish's raw punk-blues could roam untainted by any semblance of professionalism.
