Best of Garage Beat '66




Sundazed released 7 volumes of the Garage Beat '66 compilations, from 2004 to 2007. Here's just a few of my favourite songs from all 7 volumes.

Many of these songs have appeared on garage compilations over the years, but usually sourced straight from the original (often crackly) vinyl release. Sundazed always provide the best quality recordings from this period, though some prefer the old crackly versions! Not sure why they called the series Garage Beat '66 either, considering the years covered are from 1964 to 1969...


01. We the People - When I Arrive (3:05)
02. Front Page News - Thoughts (3:08)
03. Rear Exit - Miles Beyond (1:56)
04. Smokestack Lightnin' - Look What You've Done (2:54)
05. The Wild Things - Tell Me (3:01)
06. The Fe-Fi-Four Plus 2 - I Wanna Come Back (From the World of LSD) (2:18)
07. The Basement Wall - Never Existed (2:00)
08. Nobody's Children - Good Times (2:49)
09. The Menn - Things to Come (2:07)
10. Plato and the Philosophers - Thirteen O'Clock Flight to Psychedelphia (3:01)
11. The Druids of Stonehenge - Bald Headed Woman (4:17)
12. The Unrelated Segments - Cry, Cry, Cry (3:03)
13. Jokers Wild - All I See Is You (2:38)
