Various - The Early Sounds Of Garage Rock (LP)

In the UK ‘Garage’ is most commonly used to refer to Rock music – mostly of the kind that’s a bit rough (and ready) round the edges. Most of the Punks were Garage bands, and before them were Psychedelic Rockers, and before them Surfers and Beat bands. All the groups on this compilation hail from the late 1950s and very early 1960s. Featured genres are Surfer instrumentals, Doo-Wop, ‘Trash’ Doo-Wop, Frat-Rock and Beat music.
