WELCOME TO LPCDREISSUES
The raw, early ’60s sound of the Pacific Northwest has caught the fancy of many a reissue label lately. But there remains one important Pacific Northwest band without a CD collection to its name—the Frantics! Led by guitarist Ron Petersen, the Frantics played hundreds of dances in the region from 1957 to 1963, backed Bobby Darin on 'Dream Lover' and released 13 sides and three hits on the Dolton label (also home to the Ventures), all of which we’ve collected here along with *13 unreleased tracks* for a total of 26 songs, their COMPLETE recordings for the Dolton label! The band has graciously lent us photos and memorabilia for the package, too—if you’re a fan of that throbbing guitar ’n’ sax Seattle sound, you CANNOT miss this one! Includes the hits 'Werewolf; Fog Cutter', and 'Straight Flush', plus the Dolton releases 'Young Blues; No Werewolf; Black Sapphire; Checkerboard; The Whip; Delilah; Yankee Doodlin’; One Minute of Flamencos; San Antonio Rose', and 'Trees', and the unreleased sides 'Sweet Cucumber; Walkin’ the Beat; Hold It; Lost Love; Richmond Stomp; Ventura Blvd.; Dirty Robber; Lost Loland; Mio Amore; Letter from Jennie; Love of My Life; Don’s Tune', and 'Oh Yeah', and more.
