Hello everything! Wow! Here are sixteen punk sydes from the finest sixties’ unknowns!! Let’s dig out what we can find about these ones!

A1- Yesterday's Children is a mystery band from Portland, Oregon. They released this outstanding single in 1966, and I still cannot believe that it never landed on a comp! Written by Dick Merrill.
- Rex Recording Co. – none (1966)

A2- S.O.S. Unlimited were from the Los Angeles area, who issued one single on the well-known Whittier label. The band featured Benjamin “Spider” Velasquez, who had previously been in The Desire on ERA records. Their earliest known gig is when the Los Angeles police crashed at a wild party in Berverly Hills in early 1968, where they were playing with The Midnighters! The full story here:
- Whittier Records – W-510 (1967)

A3- Just Two Guys were from Reading PA (home to so many wild bands!), and featured Barry Green, and Steven Fox (the “two guys”) plus Frank Kitei and Neil Fagen. They cut this nice single on Swan before changing their name to the Sidewinders. They cut two other songs under that new name that were never released until they landed on Eastern PA Rock part 2 on Arf! Arf!
- Musicor Records – NTS-436 (1969)

A4- Gene Summers was a prolific rockabilly singer from Dallas, TX. But in 1968, probably for the same reasons Gene Vincent did “Bird Doggin’” in 1966, he recorded this pure garage single. Clearly deserves to be known better!
- Tear Drop – 3211 (1968)

A5- The Snowmen were a studio band from the Mark V Recording Studios in Greenville SC. The great Rudy Wyatt apparently had some involvement in it! They also recorded under the name The Uptowners. The song was written by Will Hammond, famous producer for Panther Records (the label that released the Bojax singles) and who also co-wrote songs like The Wyld’s “If I Had It”!
- Campo Records – C-19 (1964)

A6- The Wildcats is a mystery band. But this song was one of the first written by P.F. Sloan and Steve Barri of The Grass Roots (among plenty of other bands!)
- Counsel – 1301 (1964)

A7 - Arthur Braun was a prolific artist from New York City. He released a couple of singles under his own name, and a strange album/compilation titled The Arthur Braun Expedition, but being apparently the work of several uncredited bands, often involving Arthur Braun. Most of his work seems to have been released in the early ‘70s, but this one has a definite ‘60s feel! Though uncredited, David Moss co-wrote this song with Arthur. Arthur Braun was also involved in the Whitewood 1972 album, and as the members of the band are not credited, it might as well be another of Braun's anonymous projects...
- Exotic Records – Ex 8018 (19??)

A8 - The Children were from the Lafayette, TN area. Their only single was issued on Atwell, same label as The New Musical Express (comped on our Vol. 7). Written by Mike Gibson.
Edit: I just noticed the track has been compiled in 2022 on Psychedelic States… Well, too late to change it now!
- Atwell Records – 45-109 (1968)

B1- The Discotees are a mystery band, maybe from Memphis, Tennessee. They issued one single on Camaro, of which I haven’t even been able to find pictures of the labels. But it’s a killer!
- Camaro – 45-3377 (1968)

B2 & B3- The Mother Heads Family Reunion were from the Reading, PA area. Included Mark Nicolas and Vince Condrath who would later form Borrowed Thyme (some singles on UA). This breathtaking two-sider would surely have his place on a Crude PA comp!
- Marion Records – M - 669 (1967)

B4- Blue Stone Horse Shoe is a mystery band from Kansas City that cut one Damon acetate in the late 1960s or early 1970s. All I can say is: wow!
- Damon acetate (196?)

B5- The Boss Blues were from Ridgeville, CT. They cut two singles between 1967 and 1968 before becoming Cromagnon for one album in 1969. This beautiful moody punkish side was written by Mark Payuk, Salvador Salgado, and Vinnie Howley.
- Direction – 45-101 (1967)
