The Bad Seeds' story is a familiar one. A product of the youth-fueled sixties rock 'n' roll wave, they enjoyed a meteoric rise on their home turf, the Texas Gulf Coast. For a band whose few records exemplify Texas garage rock at its finest, they didn't last past the summer of '66. But what they did leave behind is indelible: 45 rpm sides that rival the upper echelon Nuggets rock
of the era. With an unmistakable sound that mixed-up early Stones with gutty Texas twang, the Bad Seeds put hometown Corpus Christi on the musical map in the mid-1960s.
This extended play collects the absolute cream of their original J-Beck Records output, from the pure Lone Star swagger of "I'm a King Bee" to "All Night Long"; easily the most Elevators-inspired jukebox selection ever. And to make it essential, the Bad Seeds' ultimate statement, "A Taste of the Same," makes its welcome return to vinyl.
