5 out of 5 stars Did you know Amazon is anti-American? It's true - read more...........2006-08-16

There are thousands of classic rock cds that Amazon will not let you buy unless you go to one of their foreign sites and pay much more. For example, this Garage Rock Classics cd. I have a copy I would like to sell for less than those listed, but Amazon won't let me. Why? Because some mega-seller has gone to the English or other foreign site and listed this American-made cd and American-issued cd there. As soon as this happens it is removed from the Amazon catalog. To you, that means you pay more due to Amazon's anti-American policies. To me it means I bought I cd thinking I could sell it on Amazon and now I'm stuck. Unless you think the French and other should have more rights to our native cd's than we do, please consider letting Amazon know what you think of this costly policy.

5 out of 5 stars Superb disc of '60s garage rock.......2004-06-28

When Lenny Kaye put together the legendary double-LP "Nuggets" in the early '70s, he kicked off an anthologizing craze that's still going strong. Varese's producers navigate a rockin' line between the more well-known names of '60s garage rock and the sort of obscurities found on anthology series' like "Pebbles" and "Beyond the Grave." It's a winning mix, combining killer classics like Paul Revere & The Raiders "Just Like Me" and The Kingsmen's "Louie, Louie" with lesser-known gems like The Moving Sidewalks' "99th Floor" (featuring a young Billy Gibbons, later of ZZ Top) and The Litter's "Action Woman."

Followers of garage rock will know most these tracks, but given the regional fame of many singles, and the uneven quality of their anthological reissue over the years, there will be some nice surprises for even die-hard collectors. More importantly, those familiar only with the national hits will treasure this introduction to a broader sampling of mid-60s garage rock riches. This is a superb disc for charting a course to additional purchases (e.g., original album reissues and multi-disc box sets like "Nuggets" and "Nuggets II"), with 25 well-selected original tracks and liner notes from garage rock authority (and "Ugly Things" fanzine editor) Mike Stax.
