A Real Cool Time Revisited - Swedish Punk, Pop and Garage Rock 1982-1989 - Various Artists

Back in 1985, the compilation album A Real Cool Time: Distorted Sounds From The North defined the sound of Sweden s garage rock revival. Bands like The Nomads whose song A Real Cool Time lent its name to the album The Creeps, The Shoutless and The Watermelon Men showed that Sweden was Europe s garage-psych hot bed. This was recognised in 2005 when Rhino’s Children of Nuggets box set featured many of the Swedish bands. Now, for the original album’s 25th anniversary, we have A Real Cool Time Revisited, the definitive Swedish overview of the country’s garage rock phenomenon. New fans of the 60s sound will find plenty of appeal and lustre in this Swedish jewel.Compiled by Swedish music maven Ulf Lindqvist, A Real Cool Time Revisited is the perfect companion piece to Do The Pop, the history of the Australian 80 s garage punk and Rhino’s Children of Nuggets box. The Swedish bands played alongside their Paisley Underground counterparts The Dream Syndicate, Green On Red, The Rain Parade and were just as vital as their Australian counterparts The Died Pretty and The Hoodoo Gurus. With notes by Mojo magazine’s Kieron Tyler (who also worked on Rhino’s Children of Nuggets box), and a full scene-setting essay and artist profiles by L-P Anderson, journalist for Sweden’s Sonic magazine, this era-defining set is rounded off with pics of every original single cover.

Black Sheep
		Released on 07/09/09. Detroit, Michigan in the late 1960's played host to a rock explosion of talent with, at the top of the pile, the MC5 and their rivals the SRC. Rising at the same time as the Stooges, Grandfunk Railroad, Bob Seger and the Amboy Dukes; the SRC - standing for Scott Richards Case - Scott Richardson being the lead singer - began, like the MC5, by playing their version of UK R&B, before supplanting their own take on the music, characterising it with doomy organ, anglicized vocals and searing bursts of stun-guitar drenched in sustained feedback.

Glitterbest - 20 Pre-Punk 'n' Glam Terrace Stompers
		We roll up with the next album in the Lipsmackin’ 70’s series , and in effect a follow on to the highly successful Velvet Tinmine.What came out of reviews for VT on some tracks were comments about how certain glam tracks were pre cursors to the first punk singles in sound and attitude . So taking this as the concept beginning for Glitterbest (named after the Sex Pistols record company) we’ve pooled this collection of tracks that in some part laid foundations for the later movement.The set ranges across : the terrace aggro stompers of the Jook and Hammersmith Gorillas , who both lead into other tracks by Trevor White (singer/guitarist with the Jook) , and Crushed Butler (again led by the Gorillas legendary Jesse Hector) ; the trashy side with attitude that is the Hollywood Brats, recorded at Olympic in ‘73 ; the pub rock of Ducks Deluxe ; the precursor bands such as Englands Glory lead by Peter Perrett , Lipstick - a 1973 vehicle for Knox of the Vibrators , and the Chris Spedding single that provided an early outing for the Vibrators name .Added to which are some delightfully obscure glam singles that are little gems of spiky attitude or chaotic performance in their own right.
