When the Serfmen signed with Indiana based agency Dino Enterprises in 1966, original member Greg Church left the band and was replaced by Billy Franze from another local group, The Unexpected. The band then moved in a British invasion direction, both for the music and outfits, and changed its name to The Olivers. The line-up at the time consisted of Jay Penndorf(guitar, vocals), Chuck Hamrick (drums), Carl Aldrich (keyboards, vocals) and Billy Franze(bass, vocals). The group's sole 7-inch release, 'I Saw What You Did' b/w 'Beeker Street', was released -including a picture sleeve- later that year on the local Phalanx Label. It got picked up by RCA Records for nationwide release and is rated today as one of the best and most exciting double sided major label garage 45s of the 1960s. This is a reissue of that single with its original front sleeve and a newly designed backcover feat a short band history and unseen pictures. www.shinybeast.nl --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BREAK 029 THE OLIVERS : I Saw What You Did // Beeker Street 7" 09.2012 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BREAK 030 THE OLIVERS : BEEKER STREET-COMPLETE REC. 1964-1971 CD .2013 1 The Serfmen : Chills and Fever (Single B-side, 1965) 2 The Serfmen : (I Want You) Back Again (Single A-side, 1965) 3 The Serfmen : Cry (Single B-side, 1965) 4 The Serfmen : A Man Can’t Live Without Love (Single A-side, 1965) 5 I Saw What You Did (Single A-side, 1966) 6 Beeker Street (Single B-side, 1966) 7 Ball of Fire 8 Mushroom 9 Jessica Ryder 10 Someday Somewhere 11 The End 12 Free 13 Social Slavery 14 The Triad : The Only Way to Fly (Single A-side, 1971) 15 The Triad : Borderline (Single B-side, 1971) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BREAK 031 THE REDONDOS FULL CIRCLE WITH...

The existence of this self produced album came to collectors' ears and eyes in 2012. It was recorded more or less accidently in early 1967, released in a micro quantity of only 25 copies and among the local US garage albums of the decade it is one of the few eclectic examples with all the ingredients that makes it outstanding compared with the usual prep-school albums of the time. It contains a blend of exciting originals and well chosen, inspired covers (a.o. of songs made famous by Love, Blues Project and The Stones), played in a raw, crude and frantic style. If ever it were true that the over-used assertion that a band's cover versions measured up to the originals, then it is true of The Horde. Why? These five 19-20 year old students from all over the United States did not only blaze a trail for '60s rock in then conservative North Carolina, they also had a general attitude that finds its origins in the young peoples' mindset of the mid sixties that put them outside of the local mainstream and gained them a sort of regional underground popularity. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BREAK 036 THE ABSTRACTS HEY, LET'S GO NOW CD 11.2013 BREAK 026 LP .2011 1 Always Always 2 Don't Listen To What They Say 3 Gone Away 4 Without Her 5 Suffer 6 Baton Girl 7 Always Always (Demo) 8 Gone Away (Demo) 9 Pipeline 10 Your Love 11 Always Always (Live) The Abstracts from Long Island, N.Y. are best known for their classic song 'Always Always'. As one of the first US bands to create an American answer to the British Invasion, their songs were already written and a master plan already in the works when the Beatles started their meteoric rise in the US. But like many of the first wave UK beat bands, The Abstracts were together only for a little more than two years and split when rock and roll moved into a direction that wasn't theirs. Though during this short period, with their storming and ingenuous beat, they recruited a huge following and accomplished a great deal. They were one of the first bands to utilize a light show and besides their sole 45, their legacy contains a cache of unreleased period recordings, some of them made for Columbia Records in 1964. Finally, over four decades later, this album collects the bands entire studio material alongside two excellent sounding 1966 live tracks. An in-depth insert with a wealth of never-before -seen-photos traces the history of the band that brought "Abstractmania" to the New York area in the sixties. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BREAK 037 THE KNIGHT RIDERS : SAN FRANCISCO 1965-AUTUMN SESSIONS LP 11.2015 SIDE 1 1.

Can’t You See In 1965 The Knight Riders from Belmont on the San Francisco Peninsula recorded nine tracks for the legendary Autumn Records, also home of the Beau Brummels and responsible for the first studio recordings by The Grateful Dead and Grace Slick & The Great Society. It took three long years until one track from that session, the self-written garage punker 'I', was released on Vault Records' San Francisco Roots compilation album. It was this particular track that kept the band on the musical map over the years as a snotty '60s punk group from the Autumn Records roster. But it takes the complete session to prove the group's brilliance. Endowed with a great melodic feel, the enthusiasm of youth and the ability to sing astounding harmony vocals, the Knight Riders blended British Invasion and sixties garage-folk into amazíngly professional and impressive masterpieces. Over the years, one or two other tracks from the session found their way into the public domain, but the Knight Riders meanwhile grew famous amongst collectors for their rare late '60s psychedelic acetate LP recorded under the "Jungle" moniker. Represented here are the group’s early roots as a young '60s garage band from the local San Francisco music scene, gifted with a musical legacy that would have made a great mid '60s album. Eight unbelievable catchy and infectious group originals and an unheard killer folk-rock harmony version of Dylan’s “Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right” that has the same class as the Byrd’s “Mr. Tambourine Man”. Finally in its completeness and for the first time ever on vinyl – here are the Knight Riders. - Legit RI licensed from WMG/Rhino Entertainment - Most tracks available for the first time ever - All tracks available for the first time on vinyl - Band later became Psychedelic Group "Jungle" - Double sided coloured LP sized insert [From: https://www.spincds.com/live-at-fillmore-east-200gm-2lp-gatefold-47243] --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BREAK 038 THE SYNDICATE THE EGYPTIAN THING CD 05.2014 SIDE 1 1 My Baby’s Barefootin (Single B-Side 1965) (Bill Rash) 2 Love Will Take Us Away (Single A-Side 1965) (Karole Hanslee) 3 The Egyptian Thing (Single A-Side 1965) (Jim Kobzeff) 4 She Haunts You (Single B-Side 1965) (Bill Rash) 5 Salt Crackers (Single B-Side 1963 – The Ris-Kays) (Roy Harris-Bill Rash) SIDE 2 1 Bad Way (Unreleased 1966) (Jim Kobzeff) 2 It’s Simple (Unreleased 1965) (Jim Kobzeff) 3 It’s Getting Closer (Unreleased 1966) (Jim Kobzeff) 4 Hills Of San Marie (Unreleased 1966) (Bill Rash) 5 Topless (Bathing Suite) (Single A-Side 1963 – The Ris-Kays) (Roy Harris) A collection of rare '60s L.A. garage rock taken from the band's 7-inches, plus four so far unreleased period recordings. The 8-page booklet offers pictures and band history by Mike Stax. The story of the Syndicate runs along similar lines to countless other rock'n'roll bands in the mid-sixties. They got together to have fun, made some noise on the local teen scene, recorded a couple of singles and then vanished into thin air, all within the space of the magical years 1965 and 1966. What makes the Syndicate special are those two hard-to-find singles. 'My Baby's Barefoot' and 'The Egyptian Thing', both released in 1965 are two of the most savage, hot-wired blasts of punk R&B mayhem ever etched into wax, while the flipside of 'The Egyptian Thing', entitled 'She Haunts You', showed the group were equally adept at moody, minor-key material. The 'Egyptian Thing' album presents the band's four A's & B's alongside four unreleased, same-calibre tracks from the same period, and an earlier 45 by the Ris-Kays featuring Syndicate front man Bill Rash. The ultimate Syndicate collection offers an unforgettable '60s garage-punk adventure. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BREAK 039 THE D-MEN I WANNA SHOUT!

This is a painstakingly remastered collection of rare 1964-66 singles and unreleased recordings. Includes a great LP-sized full glossy 4-page insert with pics and history by Goldmine writer Joseph Tortelli. Take the 14 tunes of this platter, add a band named The D-Men, and you've got a driving, shaking demonstration of US mid 1960's British invasion influenced garage'n'roll. The D-Men are best remembered today for their minor hit success with 45s such as 'I Just Don't Care' or 'So Little Time'. Their biggest success and recognition though, came in 1967 under their new name 'The Fifth Estate' when they charted nationwide with their baroque rock adaptation 'Ding Dong! The Witch Is Dead'. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BREAK 040 LP THE LIBERTY BELL THOUGHTS & VISIONS 1967-69 LP 11.2014 SIDE 1 1.

Leave Me Alone (Blair Stevenson) (Unreleased 1968) In August 1967 LA-based group The London Dri recorded what would be their only 45-rpm single. 'Life In Your Hand', an original song written by guitarist Bruce Thomas, was backed by 'Dona, Dona', a re-working of a Jewish folk song with a new arrangement by the group. Released on the Yobo label, the two songs represented the entire released output by the combo. For years, if recalled at all, The London Dri would be remembered for that lone single. Between their 1965 formation and their disbandment in 1970, however -and in between hundreds of performances and even a movie appearance- The London Dri recorded several other songs that, had they been released, would certainly have earned the group a more prominent standing today among Hollywood rock groups of the era. One of the most remarkable tracks is 'This Is Life', practically the London Dri's version of the Caretakers Of Deception's legendary garage/psych classic 'X+Y=13' 'The Other Side Of Soul' and 'Western Skies' are both melodic period westcoast rock pieces with excellent psychedelic guitar playing. 'Hurry', 'Wanting To Know You' and 'Sorry' are all from The Misunderstood school of sound and show some clear shades of UK freakbeat/psych bands such as The Game, Mike Stuart Span or The Attack. The only cover version is a 5-minute+ rendition of Big Brother & The Holding Company's 'Combinations'. London Dri had it all, from garage-rock to classic US psychedelic to UK styled mod/psych. Finally here's the band's entire legacy; 11 killer tracks in the distinctive London Dri style. Included is a detailed 8-page booklet with history by Mike Dugo and pics. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BREAK 042 LONDON DRI : WESTERN SKIES-LA PSYCHEDELIC '67-'69 CD 10.2014 1 Life In Your Hand 2 Dona, Dona 3 Hurry 4 The Other Side Of Soul 5 Sorry 6 Combination Of The Two 7 This Is Life 8 Western Skies 9 Wanting To Know You 10 Today 11 Leave Me Alone --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BREAK 043 THE RAUNCH TOTAL RAUNCH 12" 02.2015 A1 A Little While Back A2 I Say You´re Wrong A3 Hungry A4 Hey Joe A5 Tobacco Road (Note : 12" , 1-sided) Mid-'60s garage-punk from Ossining, NY.

Several recordings from 1967 and other, more psychedelic influenced tracks remained unreleased, but demonstrate the musical versatility of the band. In 1966 the group underwent a substantial line-up change when three of the original band members, among them vocalist Rob Graham, left the group. He was replaced by Jon Williams, who had previously been with the By Fives and WordD. Alongside the Penthouse 5 recordings, the rare 7-inches of these closely linked bands are all collected for this release. Additionally an until now completely unknown 5-track '65 acetate rounds up this collection of rare and lost recordings by one of the greatest local '60s bands from the Lone Star State. https://www.shinybeast.nl/public/newsletters/20180625_391206_58e1eu89y.html --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BREAK 049 THE BREAKAWAYS ALL FOR ONE LP 11.2016 SIDE A 1.
