Description
A compilation that actually defined a genre, this sent out musical ripples that influenced innumerable bands, from the Damned to R.E.M. Compiler Lenny Kaye even gave the genre a name: punk. Although the music was later better known as garage, Kayehimself about to pioneer 70s punk as Patti Smiths guitaristwas onto something when he asserted that Americas aggressive teen bands of the mid-60s were the original punks. To prove that this was not an isolated, parochial movement, Kaye included not only Top 40 hits such as the Castaways Liar, Liar and the Count Fives Psychotic Reaction, but also buried treasures like the Remains classic Dont Look Back and the Chocolate Watch Bands Lets Talk About Girls.
