Various Artists – Garland Records: Pacific Northwest Stash Box – Vinyl LP

• UNRELEASED GARAGE PNW NUGS!
• UNEARTHED REELS FROM SALEM OREGON’S GARLAND RECORDS!
• CUT BY KEVIN GRAY, AND PRESSED ON DANK GREEN VINYL AT THIRD MAN PRESSING IN DETROIT!
• A PECULIAR MIX OF COVETED RARITIES AND UNISSUED HALLUCINATIONS

From the thriving hotbed of sixties garage and psychedelia of the PNW and Salem’s orphic Garland Records comes this potent cache of rare and previously unreleased recordings. Chiefly composed of moody and mellow folk rockers and ethereal groovers, there are also a few far-out, heady reconstructions of familiar faves. CD includes two bonus cuts not available on the LP. Be warned, these hooks are very sticky!

With Sundazed Music’s acquisition of the Garland Records catalog you’re in for a tidal wave of great garage rock, pysch, soul, and even some country. Here with Pacific Northwest Stash Box, you’re treated to hook laden cuts that sound laced with a little something, and not just “Life Laced Leaf!”

True to form for BeatRocket’s Garland Record collections is the abundance of original material. Out-there originals like “What Goes Up, Must Come Down,” “Parousia,” and “Forest Of Two Trees” sound right at home with the floral covers of “Cathy’s Clown” (Everly Brothers) and “She’d Rather Be With Me” (The Turtles). Sixties Salem Oregon was way out and BeatRocket is sorting through the Garland reels to prove it!
