VA Best Of Rock 2005

70s Music Explosion Vol. 3: Miracles is a two disc compilation released in 2005 by Time-Life. These are the original hits by the original artists, just listen.

There was a time in our world's history when the brightest music in all lands was something called garage rock. Uptight Tonight: The Ultimate 60s Garage Collection is a 2005 collection from Big Beat/Ace thatt focuses on some of the best garage rock, most of which were not hits but it also helped influence the sub-genre known as garage punk, which some could say was full of gunk. Its popularity never faded since it never rose to the top but with the taste of the hairy and the flavor of chumflops, the music still survives today. Let us go back five decades and feel the warmth and aroma of a garage.

Many of the selections on 'Alphabeat' were not even known to exist before the release of the compilation, and few connoisseurs of obscure late 60s pop, psych and prog will be disappointed with it's contents. Dubbed from a master supplied by a Belgian television company 'Foxy Lady' and 'Toad' were recorded live at a pop festival in mid 1968 and prove The Barrier to be as exciting on stage as on their best singles from the same year, whilst Mississippi impress with their heavy bluesy rock which is lifted from their lone and very rare 45 from 1970. The pigeonholeing of Breakthru as a lightweight pop act through their only single 'Ice Cream Tree' is devastatingly dismissed by the unveiling of 2 incendiary slices of psychedelically inclined rock recorded at a Birmingham studio in late 1967, and an unknown group who recorded at R.G Jones' OAK studios sound uncannily like The Game 3 years on with the slow burning 'First Back From Heaven'. The Pathfinders' 'Pumpkin Lantern' has appeared before on compilations on a number of occasions but thanks to the discovery of another acetate copy, it's presented here in premium quality together for the first time with it's previously ignored but very special rendering of the Bee Gees' 'To Love Somebody'.
