About This Release:
RARE & PREV. UNRELEASED PSYCH-FUNK AND GARAGE ROCK !!!
Say hello to Down & Wired Vol. 8 as Perfect Toy Records unleashes yet another instalment in its long-running compilation series! Once more, the label provides a delectable selection of obscure funk and soul-influenced psychedelic and garage rock tracks to delight even hardcore collectors of both genres.
The psychedelia is turned up to eleven on a wistful opener by The Undertakers and a slice of dreaminess from Terry Pilittere while Teegarden & Van Winkle imbue the psych with an undercurrent of funkiness. This undercurrent comes to the fore on an epic cut by Fresh Air (which could have been a blueprint for the first three Black Keys albums), a blistering track by Big Top and also on the Essentials number which goes heavy on the blues guitar too. By the time things get around to Chuck Baker nugget Got To Get Away From L.A though, pure anddirty roadhouse blues-rock is the order of the day.
But that ain't all. This release features no fewer than three German bands and of these, The Rippers are known to fans as the 'Offenburg Beatles,' which makes perfect sense when you hear their melodic psychedelia. Garage-psych purveyors Lony & The Misfits Ltd. meanwhile are from Gießen, a small town about 50 miles north of Frankfurt, and, last but not least, A.G.E. (who on this deliver a raucous 13th Floor Elevators type affair) hail from Würzburg - like Prisma who appear on Down & Wired Vol. 7. Also included is an unreleased track: Creatures of Habit by Synod which will be released soon as a Perfect Toy vinyl 7". There is (and will be) more unreleased material from Synod on vinyl soon, keep your eyes and ears peeled!
A worthy successor to the previous volumes, Down & Wired Vol. 8 is once again accompanied by an insert containing detailed information and photos of the bands and a download code is also included with every vinyl LP.
