Description
Offering this super rare, very hard to find GIRLS IN THE GARAGE on ROMULAN RECORDS UFO X02 1987. This would be Volume 1 but as it was the first out the gate, it does not have a volume in the title. This is vintage pressed on swirled pink vinyl and absolutely stunningly beautiful. Not one of the reissues. This first volume is very hard to find especially in this condition and contains the best tracks of the entire series.
Fantastic compilation of 1960s garage band girl groups. Jacket and vinyl are near mint but I'm not a record grader, so I will say excellent +. Minor wear overall, vinyl looks near mint. I believe there is a hidden B8 track as well.
"The long running Girls In The Garage series spans about 15 volumes which have continuously, and most excellently, unearthed and presented garage rarities from the 1960’s all executed by women. The groups compiled on these comps were able to record songs that were primal and melodic but also stripped-down and just damn good. Men weren’t the only ones inspired to pick up instruments and slap a song together. Women had the same urge and while none of these groups were able to make a splash, they had at least 1 moment of glory which is what Girls In The Garage sought to uncover.
In 1987, the very first collection was released and it would influence new editions. Girls In The Garage Vol. 1 - Witness the lysergic chaos and super-delayed guitars in The Models’ version of “Bend Me, Shake Me.” The super fuzz and massive backbeat of The Luv’d Ones “Up Down Sue.” The fried jangle of Lydia Marcelle’s “The Girl He Needs.” The crude swagger of The Bittersweet’s “Hurtin’ Kind.” The run of tracks on this comp is absolutely top-notch and consistently killer. They’re sweet, sour, nasty, catchy and just a whole lot of fun all around."
