THE REBEL KIND-VARIOUS ARTISTS (1983) SOUNDS INTERESTING RECORDS (SILP-011) The Fuzztones' 'Ward 81' is also included-this track is self-penned, and hints at what goes on in the 'Tones grey matter.foul demons, kicking mental patients, psychotic spasms.Fuzzzz! Babbling aural insanity! More Fuzzzzz!! FREAKBEAT 'WARD 81'-Starting with clever use of a found voice preaching the horrors of insane asylums, there's a long (but tasty)guitar break and great use of sreams at the climax.The song equates insanity with love, death, and rock'n'roll.
Thick and liquidy organ, and a strong dancebeat make 'Ward 81' a highlight on an exceptional album. GOLDMINE. THE REBEL KIND-VARIOUS ARTISTS (1983) The European Version.
99TH FLOOR MAGAZINE-FLEXIDISC (1984) Features The Fuzztones version of '99th Floor' as well as tracks by Plasticland and The Vipers. BATTLE OF THE GARAGES VOL.2 VARIOUS ARTISTS VOXX/BOMP 200-019 Stars of B.O.B.#8, New Yorks Fuzztones pull a cracker out their zany bag with a version of 'Green Slime' which is a nice contrast to their wild and wigged-out song on last year's 'The Rebel Kind'.
It's no understatement to say this lot have STYLE! BUCKETFUL OF BRAINS Anybody interested in garage music, revival or otherwise, should own these. They contain all of the music from the four LPs originally issued, so highlights are many, and a name-droppers paradise: Chesterfield Kings, Deniz Tek, Plasticland, The Cynics, The Fuzztones, Sick Rose, The Pandoras-they're all here.

BAD NEWS TRAVELS FAST (1984) MIDNIGHT 45 (MID 4504) This is one primitive, rockin' disc! The A-side is a wild, fuzzy rave-up, with great arrogant lyrics snarled out by Rudi:'Now don't you try to change me, I'll just string you along, sit back and enjoy the ride, tomorrow I'll be gone!' There's a great, throbbing riff and some berserk harmonica! Flip the disc and you get a story of lost love.no wimp ballads here though, just basic brutal trash! Great solo too! This cut was recorded live.in a cave, I guess!!!

FREAKBEAT Fucking great! I'd begun to think their wicked live perform- ances would never get translated to record. An instant classic.
PULSEBEAT The delivery on the two originals here is authentic and inspired, yet fortunately devoid of the purist outlook that sullies the repertoires of such contemporary garage practicioners as the Chesterfield Kings and the Pandoras. BLITZ Blasting screams of hellish proportions! If this record doesn't get your iron-poor blood pumping, give up Rock & Roll, and take break-dancing classes. The Fuzztones have the meat and they deliver! Ron Rimsite - 99TH FLOOR. LEAVE YOUR MIND AT HOME (1984) MIDNIGHT 12'EP (MIRLP 105) Live, The 'Tones are all fuzz and fury.more energy than you ever imagined possible.and a perfect choice of covers, and mixed with originals and a unique sense humor! Am I in heaven?
No.I've just been sucked into the Fuzztones swirling psychedelic snarl! This is the ultimate primitive teenbeat thrash-out! FREAKBEAT.this set o'live covers gets into the barn furlongs ahead o'the pack, primarily because guitarist Elan Portnoy's gotta right conceptual grasp on the fact that lotsa good SIX-OH claps JUST THIS SIDE O'METAL in construction. Consequently he sets his amp t' 'stun,' points his ugly hair at ya, and cuts fuggin' loose. Byron Coley - FORCED EXPOSURE These are tales of minds not merely blown but torn out by the roots.
There's no mistaking what bag these hipsters are in. Once smitten by this unholy alliance you'll hear voices green and purple, and chances are you'll see things you should never see, too. This record kicks a lot of ass. The Fuzztones offer a unique opportunity to engulf your cranium in lysergic emanations. The Cult Of Fuzz awaits. Lindsay Hutton - SOUNDS.
HANGING OUT AT MIDNIGHT (1984) VARIOUS ARTISTS - MIDNIGHT MIDLP 127 Compilation album featuring the Fuzztones version of 'The Witch,' as well as tracks by the Mighty Mofos, The Wind, Howard & Tim's paid vacation, Absolutely Grey Woofing Cookies, The Cheepskates, The Tryfles, The Love Pushers, The Backbones, The Kingsnakes, and The Cavemen. SCREAMING JAY HAWKINS & THE FUZZTONES - LIVE!
(1984) MIDNIGHT 12'EP (MIRLP 114B) The vinyl epitaph of Screamin' Jay and The Fuzztones historic union at New York's Irving Plaza. The backing throws a hole new light onto the 'Tones musical capabilities, the keyboards in particular. No chance of descending to cabaret horror rock with a fundation like these guys kick up. In fact, it'd be nice if some of this marsh gas were to turn up in the band's own efforts. SOUNDS.with a good solid backing by The Fuzztones (a band that always sounds at least 10 times better than I expect them to), the four tracks presented here move like no old crip EVER did. Byron Coley - FORCED EXPOSURE.
GARAGE SALE - VARIOUS ARTISTS (1985) ROIR CASSETTE A135 Unfortunately, garage psychedelia can be turned into a formula as easily as any other style, and that's the major fault here. Although this collection, essembled under the auspices of Goldmine magazine, has it's share of gems, including 'Cinderella' by The Fuzztones, most of it's offerings are dross. WASHINGTON POST. LYSERGIC EMANATIONS (1985) ABC LP (European) (ABC LP4) Now in full swing, this beast gives birth to it's problem child.the first full elpee, released in 1985. This is one grotesque, magical, spooky trip through the canyons of your mind.down into the darkest resess and the deepest hole!!! A complete hallucinogenic hell-trip!!!
FREAKBEAT Brusquely bracing Sixties album. Fiffty trillion times better than the FLESHTONES, probably distant in-laws of the Cramps, the singer halfway into the madhouse. Ultra melodic but arranged in such a way nobody hankers for their old days. SOUNDS. SHE'S WICKED (1986) ABC 7' 45 rpm w/PS (ABCS 006) and ABC 12' EP (ABCS 006T) Catchy, simple, daunting intro that builds up with depth swirling music machine, and thrashing drumming, before pounding out into a classic riff. A 'Louie Louie' for the 80's at least!!! Great voodoo chile lyrics too - 'She's got a mouth full of rasor teeth, and claws so needle sharp, she'll set you off like fireworks, and tear your flesh apart'!
FREAKBEAT 'Said my baby's evil/said my baby's bad/gypsies stole my baby/ from her mom and dad'. Poetry is it's own reward for the Fuzztones, which is just as well really, because bands as giddily gifted as this seldom get rich. MELODY MAKER. BAD NEWS (1986) ABC 12' EP (ABCS 011T)) The Fuzztones dig their claws into some mean neo-sixties punk, which delivers the good with nasty guitar riffs and Rudi Protrudi's 'lead snarl.' Primitive, raw and raunchy.
MAXIMUM ROCKNROLL Primal garage rock from one of New York's most popular combos, rooted in the Music Machine school, with Elan Portnoy's fuzzed out breaks perfectly blending with Deb O'Nair's sleek urgent organ chords. Then there's lead vocalist Rudi Protrudi, who gives a tough, arrogant preformance.
If elected, I'll put two bands like this in every garage. The Fuzztones fall somewhere between? And the Mysterians and the Sex Pistols; I'm talkin' rockin', and no dicking around. THE BOB. LYSERGIC EMANATIONS(1986) ABC Picture disc LP Basically, every single song on the LP is a classic, and I could rant all year about each and every one. 'Gotta Get Some' is slaughtered - again, it's the guitar solos that really stand out!
Kenny and the Kasuals' masterpiece of mystical musical madness 'Journey To Tyme' is next under the Fuzztones' choking grip:'I don't care if I never come back!' .Man, who would ever wanna return from something this good? FREAKBEAT Music from underneath your garage and could easily be the soundtrack for The Addams Family or Munsters television shows.
Ghoulish production, superb songwriting, and a lead snarl all delivered by Rudi, that're guaranteed to give you psychedelic nightmares. LIVELY ARTS. LYSERGIC LOVE / LOVELY SORT OF DEATH (1986) Furlined Vulcano/Purple Helmut (Bootleg Live Album) Also floating about are various illegal tapes of the 'Tones British gigs.if you have the chance to hear these, DO cause the Fuzz and the Fury is all there! FREAKBEAT A decent lookin' thing (similar to the Chesterfield Kings' FOSSILS), but the sound is often worse than you'd ever imagine. I dunno if the masterin' got screwed up or what, but this blows. FORCED EXPOSURE.
LYSERGIC EMANATIONS (1986) Enigma/Pink Dust (72123-1) LP (American version w/ gatefold sleeve) A fab studio LP released originally in the UK and then, with new graveyard cover art (by Protrudi), and two different tracks, in the States. The sound is pure sixties garage punk - the Seeds, Chocolate Watchband, Yardbirds, Animals,? And the Mysterians, Standells, Shadows of Knight - produced clearly but without any excessive slickness. Absolutely first rate. TROUSER PRESS. '1-2-5' (1986) 7' SINGLE (b/w 'Just A Dream Away' - The Wipers) Enigma Europe (CARA 1D 223) '1-2-5' growls out of your speakers.whining harmonica, ferocious guitar solos.the sheer raw power of their live material may not be so apparent, but there's a new tightness and quality to the song.
FREAKBEAT. LIVE IN EUROPE (1987) MUSIC MANIAC (MM006) - Flexi Disc with first 5000 A real bone-crushing bruiser of a disc that fulfills it's mission in bringing the excitement of the Fuzztones direct to your cave. John Storey - BUCKETFUL OF BRAINS One gnarly thumbscrewer of an album, digging into lotsa lowdown and dirty guitar licks and tons of fuzz, as Rudi Protrudi and the now - departed Deb O'Nair, along with their co-fuzzmongers, dish up sum of the seamiest garage madness yet to assail human eras. Chris Wodskou - NERVE Fuzztones worshippers shouldn't delay snapping up this well housed (with lavish gatefoldsleeve) and nicely recorded live set from their '85 European Tour, especially as the first 5000 include a free flexi with Rat Scabies and Doctor and the Medics helping out on 'Gloria' - such is the power of the band that they can even some live back into this ol' chestnut. John Storey - BUCKETFUL OF BRAINS 'GLORIA' - FLEXIDISC w/ FIRST 5000 COPIES OF 'LIVE IN EUROPE' - MUSIC MANIAC Flexi que en principio acompaiiaba a ia version de edicion limitada del Live In Europe que editio Music Maniac.

Se trata de la version de Van Morrison, 'Gloria', que tue grabada el 14 de julio de 1985 en el FOOT CLUB de Londres, y que tue interpretada por los Fuzztones accompailados de los Doctor and the Medics y Rat Scabies a la guitarra. GARAGE REVIVAL. NINE MONTHS LATER (1988) Music Maniac 12' EP (MM013) The mind is not a computer. Listen carefully in your head to a meaningful song in your past and then throw that same record on your turntable. The real differs from the imagined, doesn't it? That's what makes the Fuzztones special - you can feel the spirit of the Sixties (and Fifties) in their music, but instead of being true to form, they're true to rememberance.
In fact, if you want to pick it apart, the Fuzztones could only exist in the 80's. Take the title track of this four song EP, for instance. With it's spooky riff and singer Rudi Protrudi's unrepentant wail, 'Nine Months Later' explores the haunting after-effects of a one-night stand - certainly taboo subject matter 20-odd years ago. The organ on 'Girl You Captivate Me' may be straight out of '66, but there's a lyrical twist, that would have gotten the song banned in the Sixties. 'Greatest Lover In The World' may bring on images of Elvis, but the wild performance would not have been acceptable on the Ed Sullivan show. The Fuzztones are like any living entity - a some of it's past, enlarged to fit the present.
This neat and all-too-short EP is guaranteed your musical memory. Janis Garza - MUSIC CONNECTION. CREATURES THAT TIME FORGOT (1989) MUSIC MANIAC LP (MMLP020)/Skyclad CD (HEAD 64CD) and LP (HEAD 64) Demos show just where THE FUZZTONES are at.' 99th Floor,' 'The Witch,' and 'Riot On Sunset Strip' are all fuzzed up and pounded out at a manic stomping pace!! Why the hell these killers weren't ever released on vinyl is totally beyond me cos they're way ahead of most of the current crop of 'psychedelic' bands.
Tight, trippy, rough, and rabid!! FREAKBEAT The Fuzztones' original line-up fell apart not long after Lysergic Emanations, but, as Creatures That Time Forgot certifies (in screaming day-glo), not without leaving quite a legacy. Single and compilation tracks are intersperced with demos (neanderthal stomps through 'The Witch' and the otherwise unavailable 'Fabian Lips' really stimulate the adrenal glands) and deadpan interviews from sources as unlikely as The Larry King Show.

IN HEAT (1989) BEGGARS BANQUET/RCA/SITUATION TWO LP (9808-1-H)& CD Endless adolescence, sticky summer nights, the smell of packed parties in dingy basements, and the feel of snakeskin strides.
Even better than the soundtrack to the 1971 classic film Werewolves on Wheels. WEEKLY 'WHEN I smell meat/I can't retreat/Come on, baby/I'm in heat.' Welcome to the world of Rudi Protrudi, the Theopolis P Wildebeast of garage. This is a man who, with one thrust of his spandexed (!) groin makes the animalistic activities of Blackie Lawless seem like those of Curly Watts. This is the man who will probably die with loons around his ankles, a bottle of Jack in his hands and a broad smile on his face. 'IN HEAT' is a collection of Protrudi's innermost thoughts, set to a ravaged hump of the most scuzzy, tacky, ballsy psycho-trash rock since Naz Nomad had too much to dream one night. The Fuzztones are old enough not to be out of date, to concoct their brew from the BANANA SPLITS, the irreverent powerkreig of vintage Damned.
And the subtlety of Freddy Mercury in the 'I Want To Break Free' video. With such literary and musical gems as the title track 'Nine Months Later,' (moral: 'Always wear your rubbers in the rain'), 'Me Tarzan, You Jane,' and 'Charlotte's Remains,' the Fuzztones invent an imaginary era for you to revel in Cathy Unsworth - SOUNDS.

The title song is overrun with enchanting keyboards not unlike 'Ward 81,' with the chorus picking up in the vein of 'Hang on Sloopy.' Capable of burning rubber all over your front lawn. THE BOB Jonathan Richman set the pattern for the subject matter, all those adolescent firsts - kiss, drink, guitar, and each and every variant on the boy-girl tangle.

Mindbending moments like the dangerous charm of the opening 'Third Times The Charm,' and forthcoming 45 'Romilar D,' paint a lurid lysergic picture of sixties-style psych with strokes of wild originality and present day Pebbles-dashed crazed pop. The sound isn't too dissimilar to that of their previous two studio albums, however there is an alomst dignified maturity in this set. A further dozen reasons to take note of the U.S.A's greatest export since the Cramps. One trip thta's worth taking. This collection sees them at their very best. Spike Sommer SOUNDS.

If this album was ever reviewed, we were not aware of it. MONSTER A GO-GO (1991) Screamin' Skull LP/CD (HUNTER 134) As king of men and Fuzztones singer Rudi Protrudi so kindly points out in a note included with this LP, The Fuzztones were known as the 'Gurus of Garage Grunge' since 1982. Gee, there's a word I heard once or twice over the last year or two. Let me put that in perspective for ya. The Fuzztones had been dishin' out evil garage vibes since most of you were about six and learnin' your motherfuckin' alphabet. But it's all over now.
So here's their last studio LP for your ghoulish pleasure. They've been dissed, dismissed, and detracted for ten years by pea-brains too square to catch on. The boys decided to do a covers record of spooky favorites to make it painfully obvious to the legions of dim-wits out there that every day is Halloween when you're down with The Fuzztones. Dig on cryptic classics like 'All Black and Hairy,' 'Cellar Dwellar,' and 'She's My Witch.' Fans will find this a must, but the rest of you need to get this to get your punk-rock bones shakin' at the inevitable blow-out you're bound to have next October 31st. Many thanks to Rudi and the rest of the Fuzztones, past and present, for years of consistantly awesome fuzzed-out offerings.

The Fuzztones ooze with glow-in-the-dark-grunginess, a psycho-delic monstrosity that squeals like some pet your parents flushed down the toilette when you were a kid. The beast bites back with a set of fresh-from-the-sewer-whole punk scratchings simply gorged with guitar effect.

LYSERGIC EJACULATIONS (1994) MUSIC MANIAC RECORDS - MM 052 When the L.A. Garage psychedelic rock scene was happening back in the late 80's - early 90's The Fuzztones were one of the scene leaders. With front man Rudi Protrudi's snarling vocals and wicked guitar this CD is simply raw! Crank this one loud! AMAZON.COM. FLASHBACKS (1996) SUNDAZED MUSIC MUSIC - SC 11045 The Fuzztones ruled the black leather garage netherworld throughout the 80's, alternating their aural mayhem between New York City and Los Angeles.
Their FLASHBACKS CD is fiery proof the 'paisley revival' has true staying power. FLASHBACKS isn't really a 'best of':The Fuzztones released far too much material (more than 40 records) to make a 70-minute distillation possible. The 22 tracks here instead are some choice LP cuts, alternate versions, demos, and previously unreleased material. Rudi Protrudi is the focus behind The Fuzztones' dark sound. His approach recalls an alley cat in the throes of vicious copulation, his guitar alive with buzz, his voice a groaning invitation. The Music Machine's Sean Bonniwell, Steppenwolf's John Kay, and the Mysterians' Question Mark have nothing on Protrudi; perhaps he's the result of them all. Lock up the girls.
Protrudi & Co. Have reformed and are lurking once again in L.A. Tim Gassen - MAGNET (1996). 'ONE GIRL MAN' 3 SONG 7' 45 SUNDAZED (SEP139) Three crunchy garage-grunge classics from Rudi Protrudi - fasten your seatbelts and feel the heat! SUNDAZED MUSIC Ep realizado tras un largo paron de la banda.

Que para mi gusto es la mejor del disco. GARAGE REVIVAL. 'PEOPLE IN ME' B/W 'I'M GONNA MAKE YOU MINE' (1998) MISTY LANE (FREE W/ ISSUE #16) The band is one of the best of the 60's obsessed groups of the 80's. Sean Bonniwell headed the Music Machine, one of the most inspirational 'punk' outfits from the 60's.
This pairing makes for an interesting recording of 'People In Me,' which represents a fine example of the work Bonniwell did to stretch the limits of pop music way back when. On the flip, the band is on their own, doing a rousing rendition of the Shadows of Knight's 'I'm Gonna Make You Mine.' Guitar and organ-rich retro music done with faithful zeal and alot of enthusiasm. P.Edwin Letcher - FLIPSIDE. CAVESTOMP! VOLUME 1- CD VARIOUS ARTISTS (1998) CAVESTOMP RECORDS 001 The Fuzztones appeared with the first Californian line-up (except tha organist Jake Cavaliere of the Bomboras - who was in later edition - subbed in at this show).
They had the bad luck to follow The Shadows of Knight, who blew many fans right out the door. And by the time The 'Tones took the stage, there weren't nearly as many crazed fans as there had been at one of the saner hours of the night, but the boys delivered a damn good set. The version of 'She's Wicked' found on here is a pretty good representation of their set that evening with Rudi in top form.

It contains some of the most outrageously thundering bands to cacophonously kick out the jams while frenziedly unleashing the mighty roaring beast known as ROCK & FUCKIN' ROLL (includin' The Humpers, Mad Daddys, Motochrist, the Bullies, the Weaklings, the Superbees, the Kowalskis, Short Fuses, the Chicken Hawks, Damnation, the Streetwalkin' Cheetahs, the Bellrays, The Fuzztones, Darlington, the Hellbenders, the Starvations, and so many more, it's downright unbelieveable!). Indeed this is an eardrum-pounding plethora of audial decadence at its wildest and most ferocious! RAFR has once again restored my brew-slathered faith in rock'n'roll with this seminal collection of balls-out tune-crashers, and I aggressively implore you to drop everything right fuckin' now and buy this disc quick!

'HELP MURDER POLICE' 3 SONG 7' EP (2001) - TEEN SOUND TEENS-021-A The Fuzztones are back in the saddle, equipped with a three track vinyl EP that fully proves they're still the reigning gods and goddesses of trashy-teenybopper-born-in-the-basement kind of Rock and Roll. Along with gnarly acts like the Chesterfield Kings and the Lyres, the Fuzztones spearheaded the ferocious sixties Garage Rock revival of the early eighties, a deed that eternally earns them a place in the hearts and minds of anyone who gets off on this almighty fine music that never seems to date and is championed year after year by kids of all shapes and sizes.
There's no question the Fuzztones sound better than ever. Longtime fans of the band will cheer their return, while those who are just discovering their genius will be floored to the core and be anxious to hear their past work. Viva the Fuzztones! Beverly Patterson - THE LANCE MONTHLY. 'IDOL CHATTER' B/W 'A WRISTWATCH BAND' - 7' 45 (2002) BEARD OF STARS (BOSS32) To tide us over until their new album rises forth, the Fuzztones have released two tracks from it in the form of a vinyl single.
As usual, the band is in tip-top condition, playing and singing with the kind of burning passion that's sadly absent from rock and roll these days. The sound of a bewitching organ has always been instrumental in the music of the Fuzztones, so it's no surprise both 'Idol Chatter' and 'A Wristwatch Band' are helmed by such ear-pleasing notes. The latter song was originally done by an obscure sixties band called the Boss Tweeds, who were obviously smitten with acts like the Doors and the Strawberry Alarm Clock. The Fuzztones remain loyal to the initial version of 'A Wristwatch Band,' which floats to a spooky tenor and contains some real freaky lyrics you're bound to a lot of fun with. This is a very mesmerizing number and the Fuzztones are the ideal candidates to cover it. Charted of a mighty mean hook and groovy psychedelic trimmings, 'Idol Chatter' is just as fantastic, but then again, you certainly wouldn't expect anything less from the Fuzztones.
In view of this numbers, you can bet your skull and bones the band's upcoming album will be one heck of a dark-eyed beauty! Beverly Patterson - THE LANCE MONTHLY. 'HALLUCINATION GENERATION' B/W 'GET NAKED' 7' 45 (2003) DARK ZONE (DZ01) Okay, these two tunes are included in the 'Salt For Zombies' CD, but also these two fuzzgems are alternate takes and not the exactly same songs of the album. Anyways, there is a very good and important reason to get that 45, especially if you collect Fuzztones stuff or generally garage punk records: It's vinyl! Unfortunately, until this time I am writing these words, no news about vinyl release for the 'Salt For Zombies' have reached my ears.So,here's a chance to get these tunes on old mighty vinyl!
It's still alive! THEE CAVE Este single contiene dos canciones, que aparecen ensu disco 'Salt For Zombies,' pero son versiones diferentes a las de dicho ip. En la cara A, 'Hallucination Generation' creando un gran ambiente tetrico y ayuado nada menos que por James Lowe de los Electric Prunes. En la cara B, 'Get Naked,' sin subir las revoluciones y creando un sonido psicodelico a lo largo de la cancion con esa phantom guitar' Ambas canciones son propias de los Fuzztones. GARAGE REVIVAL.

HE PUT THE BOMP! IN THE BOMP GREG SHAW VARIOUS ARTISTS (2007) BOMP 07-10-17. The Fuzztones' newest masterpiece, recorded at Candybomber Studio, has been released on CD and Vinyl (Electrique Mudd/No Fun Records).
The No Fun Version features the bonus track 'Caught You Redhanded.' As much as I 'dig the new breed', leave it to a band that's been around for three decades to rewrite garage rock, make it bigger, louder, and give it a whole lot more soul. Since The Fuzztones are mainly known as a 'garage punk' act, adding a horn section, female backing singers, and trading the Vox for a Hammond B3 is pretty ambitious. The opening cover of 'Garden of My Mind' by Mickey Finn rearranges the raw sound of the original with super loud horns and a much more exciting vocal treatment from lead vox Rudi Protrudi, but the backing female vocals give it an upbeat, Motown vibe that's got so much soul that it's sinful. Horny as Hell is full of notables. Paisley Umbrella The longing for a new record is over and it was worth waiting. 'Horny As Hell' is one of the best Fuzztones creations ever!
It brings you all that the Fuzztones are legendary for and much more. SOUNDFLAT RESPEKT!!! Triggerfish Here comes the Fuzz! The Fuzztones is one of those groups that seems to have been around forever. Given my taste for basic, loud, snotty psychedelic/garage/trash/primitive rock, I'm surprised that I've never been exposed to their music before. And now that I finally have — with their new album Horny as Hell — I think that they may be on the cusp of a major transformation.

These are the demos that secured the Fuzztones recording deal with Beggar's Banquet/RCA. Too 'rough' for the major label, Beggar's had them redo the album with legendary 60's producer Shel Talmy (The Who, Kinks, Creation). This is the REAL deal, produced by Rudi and Jordan Tarlow. If this version was released instead of the sterile Talmy production, the critic's would have surely had a different response. The Gurus of Garage Grunge at their grungiest!.
