Description
It's now over 18 months since the very sad passing away of renowned and highly respected music collector and ardent archivist George Crotty, here in Sydney. Many of you will know of his intense passion for all forms of Australian beat and garage music, and his utterly invaluable assistance in compiling all manner of 60's garage, punk, and beat compendia (Glenn A. Baker's earliest compilations all bore thank you's to George - he simply could NOT have done them without George's help, in fact) . Some of you mightn't know that that same passion extended to those same genres worldwide.
He was renowned for having one of the best collections of 60's Garage, Beat, Punk, Surf & Psychedelic 7"s, EPs and LPs (especially of Australian artists) - gathered together meticulously and carefully for longer than the 36 year period I'd known him.
(Along with his rabid passion for, specifically, The Easybeats, George had a 'thing' for The Beatles, and British beat - in fact, as a 19 year-old in his native Serbia, while fronting a garage band by the name of The Q in 1965/early 1966, he was known as Nesa Bitls (pronounced Nesher Beatles), and the pix of him looking like one of The Beatles, 1965-era, are awesome - he looked SO damn cool.)
Anyway this very item is one of
GEORGE CROTTY'S HUGE PERSONAL COLLECTION,
...all of which will appear here over the next several months (I know I've said that before - took a break for a wee while and I'm back into it)...Some of you who knew him or knew of him, would possibly be proud to own this and/or others of his collection, I imagine.
Anyway, you can guarantee he loved this - he was very particular with what he kept.ARTIST: The MYSTRYS -

'A' is legendary garage-y pysch, and you've probably heard it on a couple of cool compilations...but I reckon the 'B' side is way better: slow-paced but awesome psych with way trippy acid-drenched lyrics and spacey sound effects.
