Rockin' 60's

The Sabre Records Story (Detroit, Michigan) - various artists...rock'n'roll, instrumental, garage

 

The Sabre Records Story collects 27 phenomenal slabs of Detroit-area instrumental and vocal rock ‘n’ roll from the late ‘50s and early ‘60s, featuring alternate takes, unreleased relics, and bona-fide hits like “What’s the Word” by the Thunder Rocks.

Sabre Records was founded in 1960 by the Thunder Rocks who were, by then, a household name in Detroit. Their first release was Sabre #100: “War Path" b/w "Restless" by--you guessed it--Thunder Rocks. The success of their first issue gave the band's signature phrase, “Ride the Rockin’ Rocket” new meaning: both Thunder Rocks and Sabre took off!

The fledgling label had little difficulty signing another of Detroit's more prominent groups for it’s next release: the Low Rocks. These two killer releases boosted the popularity of the label and its bands in the Great Lakes area. Soon Sabre added other incredible local acts to its roster, including the Valiants, Egyptians and Fred Farrah. The rest, as they say, is history.

The Seeds ... singles A's and B's 1965-1970 anthology

The Seeds' definitive anthology of their entire run of singles from 1965 to 1970, a collection that includes some of the band's best-known material including Can't Seem To Make You Mine, Mr.Farmer and their lone Top 40 hit, the garage rock touchstone that is Pushin' Too Hard.

Singles such as Satisfy You, The Wind Blows Your Hair and Bad Part Of Town have become as equally renowned in the years since, and Seeds' B-sides are almost as popular - tracks such as Out of the Question, The Other Place and Wild Blood are all fan favorites.

This exhaustive 24 track collection is drawn from the original singles masters, which in most cases have never been available since their first issue; most cuts feature unique mixes and different edits.

After leaving the GNP Crescendo label in 1969, the Seeds moved to MGM for two swansong 45's, both included here, never before on CD. Bonus tracks are Excuse Excuse with a different vocal, issued on a French EP, and the original, unedited version of Pushin' Too Hard.
