Note:
A staggering rock record that is head and shoulders above most garage records from this era. The Remains had it all: tight musicianship, energy, great songs. By the time this album came out, the band sadly had already broken up. But over the next decades, The Remains were rediscovered by many listeners, in no small part thanks to the Nuggets comp. Remarkably, leader Barry Tashian became an acclaimed country musician from the 70s up until this day (you couldn't tell from hearing this record).
This original mono version was never available on CD or digital. Sundazed did a reissue in 2001 on LP, but I went back to the a pristine copy of the original mono pressing on Epic for this version. Hope you enjoy.
