Dead Moon - Walking on My Grave - The late, great American garage institution from Clackamas, Oregon fronted by Fred Cole (of Lollipop Shoppe fame)... from the late 80's, released last year on CD by Sub Pop (compilation called "Echoes of the Past")
Vipers - Nothing's From Today - from compilation Battle of the Garages Volume II on Voxx records (1984) from their debut LP "Outta the Nest" (also '84).
Buffalo Springfield - Mr. Soul - from the Mono single ('67 ?) -- the bside, ripping the riff from Satisfaction and featuring Neil Young on lead vox (and writing credit!)
Gary Knight - The World 2,000 - Totally obscure Philips single from 68 or so, British group (?) -- total pop/psych with a jazzy/salsa bridge. Awesome.
Beacon Street Union - Speed Kills - 1968 single on MGM from their debut LP, good Boston ("Bosstown") pop/psych.
Mashmakhan - Days When We Are Free - Flip of As the Years Go By, a Canadian & UK hit single from '68/69... featured on the Rubble comp, but this one came from the (surprisingly) stereo single on Epic.
Man - Sudden Life - Welsh psych/prog band, single on Pye records from '68/69. Found this at a flea market in Portugal!
The Status Quo - Pictures of Matchstick Men - the classic psych/pop hit with all the wah-wah and phasing you'll ever need, on the Cadet Concept label (subsidiary of Chess) from 68/69. Currently the group enjoy fame as a denim-clad boogie rock festival band !
--talk--
Lick'n'Stick - Under My Thumb - Canadian group who once backed Bo Diddley on tour (or so their promo kit claims!) cover the Stones. Vocals are so-so but check out that languid guitar!
