"Rockabilly Psychosis and the Garage Disease" (v.a. LP, vinyl rip). 1984.

   Summer's here in Greece at last! So being away from the dark mood of winter it's time for some fun! 

   This excellent '80's compilation contains some of the best psycho songs ever! Wild psychobilly, garage punk and a lot of screams!    Some songs became famous by The Cramps but here are the original versions (Love me, Surfin Bird, The Crusher, She said). From 1960 to 1984, from The Trashmen and The Sonics (Psycho!!!) to The Gun Club and The Cramps, everything here is fantastic.

A perfect soundtrack for the summer.

Villa 21 - House Of The Damned (EP 12", vinyl rip). 1988

   Villa 21 was one of the biggest greek rock bands ever! See this post for an introduction to this unforgettable band. 

   After the first years of the 80's, when the group was into the dark wave, they started changing their musical direction to a more rock sound influenced by Stooges, Rocky Erickson and garage punk.

   

 This EP was released in 1988, right after the moment of change, the legendary LP "Electric Poison".

   Four tracks full of energy! Among them an excellent cover to Rocky Ericson's classic "The night of the vampire". My personal favourite is the 8 minute long "Back for more", a link between the old direction and the new garage sound.

  

 This is vinyl rip containing the cover and all the artwork with lyrics. The lyrics were not included in the record but the band had made a mini booklet sharing it hand to hand for anyone interested.
