• Steppin’ Out is a 94-track companion volume and prequel of sorts to ‘Pushin’ Too Hard American Garage Punk 1964-1967’ released in 2024.
• Like ‘Pushin’ Too Hard’ this box contains plenty of the raw, exciting 1960s music retrospectively named garage punk but ‘Steppin’ Out’ spreads its net wider adding surf, frat rock and folk rock nuggets to the mix. These American genres combined with the influence of The British Invasion led to a garage rock explosion in 1965.

Description
• Steppin’ Out is a 94-track companion volume and prequel of sorts to ‘Pushin’ Too Hard American Garage Punk 1964-1967’ released in 2024.
• Like ‘Pushin’ Too Hard’ this box contains plenty of the raw, exciting 1960s music retrospectively named garage punk but ‘Steppin’ Out’ spreads its net wider adding surf, frat rock and folk rock nuggets to the mix. These American genres combined with the influence of The British Invasion led to a garage rock explosion in 1965.
Highlights include the truly demented ‘Surfin’ Bird’ by The Trashmen, the blood curdling proto punk of ‘The Witch’ by The Sonics, the sublime jangling guitar pop of ‘Don’t Talk to Strangers’ by The Beau Brummels and the reverb heavy twang of The Astronauts’ instrumental ‘Baja’.
There are national US Billboard Hot 100 hits from The Chantays – ‘Pipeline’ (#4), The Dartells – ‘Hot Pastrami’ (#11), The Kingsmen – ‘Louie Louie’ (#2), The Trashmen – ‘Surfin’ Bird' (#4), The Rivieras – ‘California Sun’ (#5), The Rip Chords – ‘Hey Little Cobra’ (#4), The Marketts - ‘Out Of Limits’ (#3), Jan & Dean – ‘Dead Man’s Curve’ (#8), The Beach Boys – ‘I Get Around’ (#1), Ronny & The Daytonas – ‘GTO’ (#4), The Everly Brothers – ‘Gone, Gone, Gone’ (#31), Tommy James & The Shondells – ‘Hanky Panky’ (#1), Sir Douglas Quintet – ‘She’s About A Mover’ (#13), Sam The Sham & The Pharaohs – ‘Ju Ju Hand’ (#26), The McCoys – ‘Hang On Sloopy’ (#1), The Gentrys – 'Keep On Dancing’ (#4), The Seeds – ‘Can’t Seem To Make You Mine’ (#41), The Standells – ‘Dirty Water’ (#5), The Strangeloves – ‘Night Time’ (#30), Paul Revere & The Raiders – ‘Steppin’ Out' (#46), The Knickerbockers - ‘Lies’ (#20), The Lovin’ Spoonful – ‘You Didn’t Have To Be So Nice’ (#10), Mitch Ryder & The Detroit Wheels – ‘Jenny Take A Ride!’ (#10), The Shadows Of Knight – ‘Gloria’ (#10) and The Thirteenth Floor Elevators – ‘You’re Gonna Miss Me’ (#55).
Garage punk rarities include tracks by The Chevelle V from Texas, The Primates from New York and Florida groups The Tropics and The Twelfth Night and there’s a little known folk rocker by future blues legend Johnny Winter.
Mastering is by Grammy nominated archivist/producer Alec Palao.
