It an interesting area of R&R. I have been digging in various places to discover some of the Garage releases by looking for the local labels and then finding their individual record releases. In just a few years as Dan said there were all these local bands with limited releases and as a collective group considered collectively there are so many records. The best thing is that these records remain obscure and they are really good. Another interesting characteristic is that so many of the records have a similar sound - not the same mind you - just similar. How did this happen when in retrospect that really didn't have an easy means to emulate the sounds of some of the acts that got contracts and exposure from the large labels and nationally heard disc jockeys. Little Steven said somewhere, and I paraphrase, he thought he would run out of material in very short order, but no, there's so much to discover. Dan - good job on your blog just found it today. <br />ihrsqhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01742781669690174728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3203456806956251753.post-79011239156017660902016-07-27T17:48:51.474-04:002016-07-27T17:48:51.474-04:00Thanks for your collection of Garage music!

And I've noticed of late that popcorn seems to be the latest cover all description with certain members of the otherwise excellent 45cat website describing just about anything vinyl that revolves and can be played with a stylus as 'popcorn'. But enough of this.....thanks for the latest selection from Dan's Garage.

The sound is muddied because all the instruments bleed into the two or three mics being used. It has a definite unpolished amateur effect (which I can't get enough of.) Any group, in my opinion, who sells thousands of records is a rock and roll band and not garage.<br />It may have been Muddy Waters who said, "We've been playing the blues all along and as soon as the white kids started listening to it, it's become rock and roll."<br />I'd rather my music be raw with little or no production magic and tricks. Case in point: Bluegrass in the 50s and 60s with one or two mics for the whole group. Bluegrass today with a mic for each instrument and a mic for each voice all blended perfectly until it sounds not front porch but studio perfect.<br />My uncle grew up in the jazz swing era and by the 70s he could no longer listen to his music as remastered on stereo LPs. It just didn't sound right.JohnnyDiegohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02180810946308484122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3203456806956251753.post-60638395196277739052016-06-19T09:04:17.508-04:002016-06-19T09:04:17.508-04:00I have them all and I enjoy them all !

you are correct, I always considered "...Mike, <br />you are correct, I always considered "garage" as something that was strictly local and had a limited release, although many local acts were picked up by major labels (Columbia, RCA Victor, MGM, etc.) after they became local "hits". Northern Soul...I get that, obscure soul records that were very similar to Motown, Stax, etc. My point was that it's all become so muddled that you don't know what you're getting these days and sellers are taking advantage of those descriptions to try to squeeze more cash out of your wallet.

Most of the pressing were limited to 200 or less, but having a record gave them more "band cred" than their competitors. Popcorn originated on the Belgium music scene and is usually English language songs from the days when the 7 inch single ruled the music world (50's / 60's) and does not have a really fast or slow tempo. Sort of pop songs with a finger-snapping beat...if that makes any sense. Northern soul refers to the dance halls of the Liverpool to Leeds corridor that featured mostly mid-60's to early-70's soul/pop music that you could dance to (no ballads...or deep soul as they call it). The people there became rabid collectors and mined all sorts of obscure singles that never saw a radio turntable in the USA that became much sought-after hits on that scene in the UK. Probably the most famous example was the promo-only Motown single by Frank Wilson "Do I Love You". Another was Gloria Jones' Tainted Love which inspired northern soul scenesters Marc Almond and David Ball to record it as Soft Cell.<br />Anyway, I think those terms do describe a music scene, but they are extremely abused by people who really don't know the subject matter.<br />Rhythm & Blues is another abused term which became the label for any song recorded by a black person. Rhythm AND Blues, at the time the tag first became popular, were two very different types of music. As were Country AND Western.....two different genres of music.<br />Another example of a very abused term by people who really don't know what they're talking about is "semi-pro" when talking about sports....which is someone that actually gets PAID (thus...pro) to play a sport, usually per game, but is not under a contract of obligation to any organization. It's not someone playing in a recreational park league or someone playing for the Rochester Red Wings or Amerks....who are professionals with a contract and monthly paycheck.Mike Britcomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15484432624710517049noreply@blogger.com
