Just picked up a fantastic album - "The Sound Of The Sixties" on
Eva Records. It is a double album, from France, of rare punk/
psychedelic stuff from the sixties. It also comes with an illustrated
book (in English) of every extended play rock & roll 45 issued in
France between 1962 and 1968. It gives each EP a rarity rating, from
* ("interesting" but not rare) to ***** (very rare). Some of the
songs on the album:
Smokes - ? and the Mysterians
The Trip - Kim Fowley
You Burn Me Up and Down - We The People
Giddy Up a Ding Dong - Sir Henry & His Butlers
Get Off My Cloud - The Hairy Ones
Baby What's Wrong - The Yardbirds
96 Tears - The Music Explosion
Kuk - The Trashmen
Mr. Pharmacist - Other Half
There are 28 songs in all, with 2 British sides and 2 American sides.
On the back of the album is a complete (as of Sept. 83) list of all
Eva Records. I'm listing the albums as they appear on the cover -
they don't print the titles of the albums so I'll try to make out
the titles from the illustrations.
Mouse & The Traps - "A Public Execution" - Eva 12001
Moving Sidewalks - "99th Floor" - Eva 12002 (two great Texas groups here)
Other Half - "Mr. Pharmacist" - Eva 12003
The Charlatans - Eva 12004
The Creation - "The Mark Four" (?) - Eva 12005
"Texas Punk Groups From The Sixties" - Eva 12006
The Remains - "Diddy Wah Diddy" - Eva 12007
The New Colony Six - "Breakthrough" - Eva 12008
We The People - Eva 12009
Josefus - "Dead Man" - Eva 12010 (the only Eva album not worth buying)
Kenny & The Kasuals - "Nothing Better To Do" - Eva 12011
The Rising Storm - Eva 12012
Litter - "Rare Tracks" - Eva 12013
T. C. Atlantic - (can't make out title) - Eva 12014
The Rockin' Ramrods - Eva 12015 (let's hear it for New England groups!!)
The Invictas - "The Invictas A Go-Go" - Eva 12016
The Charlatans - "Alabama Bound" - Eva 12017
The Dimensions - "From All Dimensions" - Eva 12018
The Seeds - "Bad Part Of Town" - Eva 12019
The Sorrows - "The Sorrows In Italy" - Eva 12020
"The Sounds Of The Sixties" - Eva 12021-12022
Most of the larger record stores can get the entire line of Eva albums.
I have also seen most of the albums in this list in local record stores
(southern New Hampshire area).
Does anyone on the net have a list of the albums available from
Charly Records of England or Line Records of Germany? I have seen
a lot of their sixties reissues around. They have some good stuff
at decent prices (at least for imports).
