Prepare yourself for one of the wildest rides in musical history. Madman? Prophet? Genius? Let's just call him Hazel. Utterly surreal one-man band Hasil Adkins has been infiltrating the world of music with his own particular rockabilly virus since the fifties and he's finally seeing some recognition for being so far beyond the Sun (studios that is) that he's on his way back again. Punk before there was punk, psychobilly when psycho billy was still just a mate of crazy ted, Hasil is an uncelebrated pioneer. Those familiar with Mr. Adkins will already be savy with his mix of fake dance crazes (here represented by the irresistable "Chicken Flop" and "Do the Scalp") and spine-chilling (and frankly psychopathic) lyrical excursions. This is the genuine article, a bonafide one-wildman band. Originally released in 1986 this is Hasil at his best. Howl Hasil Howl!

Sole 7" by the '60's US girl garage band featuring a young Suzi Quatro. Housed in a sleeve picturing the girls looking as cute and groovy as you'd expect, the two tracks enclosed are killer '60's garage with some great lyrics. "You got the kind of body, that makes me come alive but I'd rather have my hands around a bottle of Colt 45". Quite.

Beautiful vinyl reissue of this LP originally released in 1965. A classic UK album that showcases the onset of the Pretty Things freakbeat Sound - a mixture of punk, R'n' B and proto psych. The hair's already getting longer so you can tell the sound is getting wilder. Comes in a gatefold sleeve.
US compilation of early tracks from the UK combo who mixed freaked up blues with frenzied beat pop in their early career. This album contains the songs "Big Boss Man," "£SD," "Midnight To Six Man" and other early stompers. Cool stuff in a gatefold sleeve
Great collection of live material from 1976-78 including a live radio broadcast and tracks which first appeared on the "Live at the Rat" compilation. the late '70s through the early '80s, the Real Kids were Boston's original rock & roll slop band. Fronted by John Felice, main songwriter and guiding spirit, the Real Kids ran on equal parts adolescent rivalry, drugs and as much beer as they could consume. When Felice wanted to tear up a club with his rockin' originals or his favorite rock & roll tunes (equally adept at both), the Kids could be a thing of raw beauty to watch and hear.
There's plenty of great stuff here by the late, lamented Real Kids, one of Boston's best rock bands. Gems abound on this CD are tracks from 1982's "Outta Place" LP,and 1981 "Taxi Boys" Mini LP.Kick arse power pop/punk collection:
Excellent and about time re-issue of this Boston-based punk-rock bands debut album from 1977(originally released on Red Star Records)They were led by guitarist/vocalist/songwriter John Felice. Capable of writing great, catchy pop-rock material, Felice and Real Kids opted for sloppy, beer and drug-induced "who cares" punk attitude, making them darlings of local CBGB's-styled scene Storming stuff.
