Product Description
Album Description
* Big Beat's ongoing series documenting the groovy sounds of 1960s California, Nuggets From The Golden State, makes a welcome return with "You Got Yours: East Bay 60s Garage 1965-67". Returning to the regional themes espoused in earlier volumes, this power-packed collection focuses on one of the grungiest and most prolific garage rock scenes in the San Francisco Bay Area.
* Directly across the bay from San Francisco raged a teen scene so vibrant that the `adult' rock shenanigans of the early hippie clique had little impact, at least for a couple of years. The tough, blue collar environs of the East Bay demanded entertainment, not enlightenment, and sought it in the garage soul of the Spyders and US Male, the bright, British sounds of the Baytovens, Shillings and Peter Wheat & The Breadmen, or the droll Stonesy punk of the Harbinger Complex, Just VI and Soul Vendors. Kids raved at area hotspots like the Penthouse Club in Hayward and the Teens N' Twenties dances at San Leandro's Rollarena.
* "You Got Yours" celebrates this intriguing facet of SF music history with rare singles, unreleased studio cuts and a booklet jam-packed with photos and memorabilia. It also forms the audio soundtrack to a recent book documenting East Bay 60s garage bands. Many of these tracks are acknowledged 60s punk classics, others are gems waiting to be discovered. For fans of vintage punk and garage as well as those fascinated with all things San Francisco.

I Got Mine!,
By
This review is from: You Got Yours: East Bay Garage 1965-1967 (Audio CD)
A very revealing look at what was happening across the Bay in the mid sixties, with grungy rock, garage and soul all evident to one degree or another across the various bands featured on the disc. The real standouts are the Baytovens, their Anglophile Beatlesque leanings and sixties pop sensibility shine on the 1967
Belfast 45 sides, while the tracks from 1966 are fine examples of garage and jangly folk rock.Good to see the Harbinger Complex Amber label 45 get an airing too, it's quite different to their later material. It's the previously unreleased tracks that hold the most surprises though, check out the fuzz laden mournful ballad "Her Heart Said No" by the Blue Lite Conspiracy, or the sinuous soulful sounds of the Immediate Family's "You're Taking Hold of Me." Then there's the beautifully crafted, moody, Anglo styled garage "Away Girl" couretesy of the Towaway Zone, sounding like a totally different band to their later Epic 45. A cool collection of East Bay artifacts that's been worth the wait, let's hope the next volume doesn't take quite so long to prepare.

The East Bay Garage heyday,
By Richard "Alice Collector" (Blackpool England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: You Got Yours: East Bay Garage 1965-1967 (Audio CD)
None of the bands here were influenced by the psychedelia taking place in San Fransisco but remained under the influnce of the British Invasion especially the Beatles,Stones,Animals and Kinks.
Probably none of these regional hits saw release in the U K and the Gants-track 22-were not the same as the group who hit with I wonder The 16 page booklet is a detailed history of the 3 year period of the music

Mostly mediocre stuff, but there's at least one great song,
By Laszlo Matyas - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: You Got Yours: East Bay Garage 1965-1967 (Audio CD)
If nothing else, this disc is worth purchasing for the Baytovens' "Waiting For You," a wistful slice of teenage pop with yearning vocals and a beautiful guitar line. It manages to sidestep the clichés and melodramas of most garage pop, and as such compares very favorably with the Dovers. Outside of that song, there are a few other excellent finds- Peter Wheat & The Breadmen's rollicking "Baby What's New" and the Just Six's snarling "I'm Gonna Be Gone," for example. The Donnybrooks sound great on the tense soul-jerker "You're Gonna Cry," and the Flintrocks' "Dynosaur" is a fun novelty number.
But for the most past part, this disc is stuffed with mediocre, second rate teenage rock. It's not wild and primitive or all that original, and it's pretty to easy to see why these bands never made it to national success. The Shillings' "It's Up To You," for example, feels worn-out and overplayed the first time you hear it, and the Blue Lite Conspiracy's "Her Heart Said No" is melodramatic in the extreme. The Harbinger Complex sound really dull on "Sometimes I Wonder," and the Gotham City Crime Fighters' "Who Stole The Batmobile" has little more going for it than an awesome title and band name. So, get it for the good songs if you're a garage rock nut, but otherwise steer clear. 2 of 4 people found the following review helpful:
