The musicians who recorded it and when may forever remain a mystery. The little that is known about Peanut Duck is that it was recorded at Virtue Sound in Philadelphia and that the singer’s name was Marsha Gee. But this singers identity has been disputed as being someone else, maybe a celebrity? Maybe not? Of course, that is unknown too.”

13. “Listen People“ – Hermans Hermits (MGM 13462, 1966)

It was put out in ’77, but I assume this version was also recorded circa 1969 since Peter Green is listed in the credits. The perfect Valentine’s song! Happy VD!

17. The Rain, The Park & Other Things” – The Cowsills (MGM, 1967) – they were the inspiration for the Partridge Family! In reality, they had a number of critically acclaimed folksy/garagey type tunes that never went anywhere. As for me, I like their bubble gum.

That’s the Sound Explosion in the photo.


Doesn’t it feel like Saturday? It does to me. The great part is that it’s like we have 2 Saturdays this week, 2 days off from work and 2 days off to blow our measly xmas bonus.


#51 started out to be a thematic comp with, guess what as the theme? But “Saturday” got tossed in the virtual trash bin though a small remnant of some of my faves remains at the end. Thematic comps often look nice on paper but are more often than not, unlistenable more than once. I try to make these playlists listenable at least 2 times. -) At the very bottom of this post are the ones that got the ax. I’m sure there are scads more and I encourage y’all to list some.


#51 is all over the map, geographically and otherwise. From Russia (yes, garage is alive in the Kremlin), the Netherlands, Greece, the UK, Uruguay, the outer reaches of the universe (ahem, Kim Fowley!) and the good ol’ USA.


Once again, thank you for the comments - some of them were very very nice and all were appreciated. Have a happy and wonderful 2010!

That’s Five of a Kind in the photo (thank you garagemusic.com)


I usually don’t say much here, but it’s time to give thanks and credit where due and, hell, it’s my dang site!


I never ever thought I’d reach #50 nor did I have much inclination to do so when I started the GUTF series about 2+ years ago. I sorta kinda made it a goal in November to get to #50 before 2010. Yes I rushed it, but I’m quite happy with the end result. It’s truly international, with stuff from Norway, Greece, Italy, the UK and from all parts of the US. And, it’s probably got the most diverse format of any of the comps so far.


Enough of me. In the holiday spirit and in celebration of making it this far, it’s time to give credit where due.


Thank you Bill Kelly, WFMU DJ and host of Teenage Wasteland for the past 25 or so years. He’s been a true inspiration! And speaking of expanding horizons and inspirations, thank you to Peris from the best fanzine on the planet, Lost in Tyme (http://www.myspace.com/lostintymefanzine) He opened up a whole new world of European garage, particularly from Greece.



There’s loads of websites which I mined info and tunes from. I wish I could remember them all and my apologies to those I am inadvertently leaving out. Here’s just a few: garagemusic.com, twilightzone.com, 60s mostly uncomp’d (michaelvee.livejournal.com/), mza-garage.blogspot.com, derek’s daily 45 and an extra special thanks to Rip who uploaded over 150 albums in his series, “USA Garage Greats.” I’ll never forget when I stumbled across this goldmine. I was in disbelief, so much so that I thought it too good to be true. I ended up downloading every single one in my spare time over about 2 weeks. The day after I downloaded the last one, THE MAN took the site down. What a shame, but it gave me listening pleasure for the next year.


Last and far from least, a HUGE BIG thanks to those of you who left comments, particularly the ones that do so GUTF after GUTF. While there's not a whole helluvalot of comments, I'm truly grateful for the feedback I do get. There’s nothing worse than getting no reaction.

.

Happy holidays & enjoy!
