the bachs album is great. some people consider it one of the GREATEST garage rock albums of all time, but i don't know if i'd go that far. they are one of the few garage/party bands from that time to record an album of all original material and the songs are very cool. the cheapo production with the massive echo is pretty hypnotic, especially on their slow bummer tracks with the awesome jangly guitars. still, they were a band that definitely could have benefited from a big label studio budget. i can't help but wonder what the songs would have sounded like with added harmonies and rock studio touches.

when oh when will someone reissue those 1st 2 A-Frames singles, to say nothing of the LPs...

"Radiation Generation" is the best KBD-style blowout I have heard this decade.

Shub Niggurath iz also the bestest.

cold sun is like the doors with more fuzz guitar.

but is it worth $55? somehow I have my doubts.

yeah man, i wouldn't pay that much for it. i'm sure you can find it on a blog somewhere to check out & see if it's your speed. not for meeeee.

Don't think Cold Sun is really all that Doorsy. It's quite a grower, and hard to peg. Think you'd like it, Ian. Fuck $55 for pretty much anything though.

this thread RIP
