RED VINYL FIRST PRESS
TOTALLY RIPPING BERZERK '60s GARAGE FUZZ SNARL!
the SWAMP RATS
\ USA - KEYSTONE - 111541
BURNING RED VINYL
The absolute 100% Original first pressing from 34 years ago ...long sought after hard to find and essential to any '60s garage enthusiasts...lo and behold the Swamp Rats deliver knee scraping sound...straight from the garage!
The wicked torrent of fuzzed-out mayhem these Steel City hooligans burned onto their ‘66 and ‘67 single sides is legendary, from a raunchy “Louie Louie” that drinks the Kingsmen under the table, to the head-smash of “Psycho,” to the gunpowdered cover of the Sparkles’ “No Friend of Mine.”
For a brief period in time the Swamp Rats were one of Pittsburgh’s top rock n roll acts, they even needed bodyguards! The group was basically an updated version of the Fantastic Dee-Jays, a crude garage pop group who released a handful of singles and a fine LP in 1966. Unfortunately there would be no album for the Swamp Rats but most collectors agree that their original 45s represent some of the best (and rawest) music the genre ever produced.The Swamp Rats’ Disco Sucks! group overview was released on vinyl in 1979. The original LP had cuts from the group’s 45s, an outtake, rare tracks from 1972 and a few rare tracks from post Swamp Rats hard rock band, Galactus. The Swamp Rats were together for a brief period of time – a year, possibly a year and a half at most. During that time they released 5 singles (one of them a Dee-Jays track) and recorded quite a bit of studio material (not all of this material has been released). Their first 45 was a blazing, raw punk cover of “Louie Louie” backed by a fuzzy version of “Hey Joe.” This single was issued by St. Claire in 1966 and is one of the essential garage 45s – don’t miss this one. The way we see it is that only two groups other than the Kingsmen did right by “Louie Louie,” one of them was the Sonics and the other was this masterful version put down on wax by the Swamp Rats. A short while later the Swamp Rats issued their second 45, a cover of “Psycho” backed by a moody folk-rock interpretation of the Beatles’ “Here, There and Everywhere.” “Psycho” was immortalized on the infamous first volume of Back From The Grave and is probably regarded as the group’s finest effort. “Psycho” is more guitar oriented than the Sonics’ classic version as it features plenty of fuzz and a stinging solo by guitarist Dick Newton. It’s every bit as good as the Sonics’ original but is also notable for Hocko’s psychotic vocals and a brief backwards guitar outro. One of the best fuzz guitar garage 45s ever cut. Their next 45 was another classic, sneering fuzz monster titled “No Friend of Mine” backed by a cool Stones’ cover ( “It’s Not Easy”).
