This second release in Aces exploration of the Cuca Records legacy, taps into a rich vein of raw garage and psych rock; cut in the Mid-West between 1966-69 and released on Cuca and subsidiary labels such as Night Owl and Wright. Most of the original, quite superb, 45s were pressed up in very small quantities and were generally only promoted locally, making them extremely rare.
Joey Gee & The Come-Ons legendary Shes Mean/ Till The End Of Time appear here in stereo straight from the masters for the first time. Add to that, seven previously unissued titles of equal quality ( including two by Joey Gee) and "Garagemental!" more than lives up to its Ultra Rare sub-title and doesnt waver from start to finish.
Brilliant eye-catching cover art.
Compiled and annotated by Rob Finnis.
