Years in the making, finally the story of San Diego's early music scene can be told -- and heard! From Rockabilly, R&B, and instrumentals, to garage rock, psychedelia, and beyond. 33 tracks from this Southern California coastal border town, spanning those embryonic, heady, sun-kissed, and fab fueled times from 1958-1973. Never in the shadows of Los Angeles or San Francisco, the San Diego scene was doing its own thing. Painstakingly compiled by musician and local music historian Andy Rasmussen, who worked closely with many of the musicians and artists of the era to make this a definitive and truly one-of-a-kind listening experience. Includes early recordings by future members of Moby Grape, Canned Heat, the Flying Burrito Brothers. Includes 36 jam-packed pages of band bios, photos, extensive track-by-track liner notes by Mike Stax, and a foreword by Andy Rasmussen. Bonuses include radio spots, local ads, and live segments. Sourced from mega-rare 45 releases and a handful of previously unreleased recordings. Features Gene Lamarr & His Blue Flames, The Strangers, Ervin Groves, Billy Keen & The King's Men, The Ray-Nears, The Nomads, The Imperialites, Larry Green & The Rhythmaires, The Misfits, Sandi & The Accents, Joel Scott Hill & The Invaders, The Lyrics, The Orfuns, Steve & The Holidays, Ervin Rucker, The Inmates, The Survivors, The Cascades, The Outcasts, The Mod, The Sons, The Contrasts, Five # Grin, The Brain Police, Mixed Grill (Gnarly Beast), Anita May & Interstate 5, Jamul, Brat, and Glory.
