"It's another exciting issue. Legendary rock photographer Chuck Krall (Creem, Rock Scene, Rolling Stone) opened his archive to us including rare and unseen photos from the 1970s (the Ramones, Bo Diddley, Arthur Lee, the Dead Boys, Flamin' Groovies, Link Wray and more), and also shares his remarkable story. We also have feature stories on Florida '60s garage gods We the People, Aussie proto-punk hard rockers Coloured Balls, mercurial blues guitar master Michael Bloomfield, New England '60s teen crazies Rasputin & the Mad Monks, obscure UK new wavers the Kameras, cult private press psych/hard rock band Seiche, and the early Pretty Things remembered by their first manager, Bryan Morrison. And look for our expansive, mind-bending interviews with Cleveland proto-punk legend Craig Bell (Mirrors, Rocket From The Tombs), eccentric pop genius Brute Force, and the late Don Grady (My Three Sons, Yellow Balloon). All this and more, including our eagerly pored over review sections covering the latest reissues and rock-related books."

"Two fantastic bands take pride of place on the cover this issue. The Yardbirds, one of the most innovative groups of the '60s, are re-examined via a fascinating interview with Paul Samwell-Smith, the band's bass player, musical arranger, and one of their key songwriters. The Weirdos were at the epicenter of the Los Angeles punk scene in the late 1970s, but their story has never been covered before with any depth or detail. We rectify that this issue with an epic feature story loaded with wild and weird photos. Also in the spotlight are London '60s mods The Carnaby and The Game, Syracuse budget rock heroes The Penetrators, Texas garage-punks The Wig, Berkeley power pop icon J.D. Buhl, late '60s Manchester long-hairs Greasy Bear, and frilly-shirted pop-psych purveyors Fortes Mentum. Also, the story of Custom Fidelity Records, a riveting journey behind the scenes of the vanity record pressing industry in its mid-century heyday.

He talks here in-depth for the first time since his ejection from the group in 1975.

"We gave two attention-grabbing cover stories this time... Brian Jones was one of '60s rock's most iconic stars -- and also one of its most maligned and misunderstood. Harvey Kubernik sets the record straight, weaving together interviews with many people who knew or worked with Brian. The Clingers were one of the first all-female rock groups, four beautiful sisters whose story is a gripping saga of teenage drama and determination. We also have an in-depth feature one of the ultimate UK freakbeat groups, The Mickey Finn, and an interview with Michael Des Barres about his rock 'n' roll days with Silverhead. Other interviews include Chris Bailey of The Saints, Tim Warren of Crypt Records, and Aussie rocker Ross Wilson of The Pink Finks and Daddy Cool. Plus stories on the San Pedro garage band The Grapes of Wrath, The Soul Vendors, French Ye-Ye girl Annie Philippe, and folk-rock duo David & Anthony. Cyril Jordan of the Flamin' Groovies revisits 1969-70, and of course there's our comprehensive review sections covering all the latest reissues, in-depth, and rock 'n' roll-related books."

"Ty Wagner cut his first single, 'I'm a No-Count' in late 1965 at Gold Star Studios in Hollywood. The record was not a hit, but Ty's gloriously snarling vocal and the song's rebellious lyrics assured that decades later it would become a garage-punk anthem: 'Ain't had a haircut in four years / You can't even see my ears.' His 1966 single, 'Slander,' also found a new generation of fans via its appearance on Back from the Grave. Those two sought-after singles were Ty Wagner's only musical legacy -- until now. UT Records is proud to present two previously unreleased Ty Wagner tracks recorded in 1967. 'Misery Train' is a dark and moody thriller with a killer string-bending guitar riff -- imagine the Seeds jamming with Link Wray. The flipside, 'Soul Exercise,' is a sexy, hard-grooved dance number with a dynamic lead vocal and lots of atmospheric percussion -- destined to full the floor at hip happenings from this point forth. Limited to just 800 copies, Misery Train/Soul Exercise comes in cool picture sleeve with rare pics and liner notes by Ugly Things' Mike Stax."

UT Q65

"The five original members of Q65 first banded together in The Hague in the Netherlands in 1965. Joop Roelofs, Frank Nuyens, Willem Bieler, Peter Vink and Jay Baar were an unlikely, often volatile gang of outcasts and misfits, but with their raw, unconventional music and rowdy, unkempt image they quickly built up a large and fiercely loyal following. Their first record, You're the Victor, kicked off a string of hit singles for the group including 'The Life I Live,' 'From Above' and 'World of Birds.' Their 1966 debut LP, Revolution, sold over 50,000 copies, topping the Dutch album charts ahead of new releases by the Rolling Stones, the Troggs and the Animals. By 1969 it had all fallen apart, but in the few short years they were together Q65 recorded some truly extraordinary music. They continue to be regarded, quite rightly, as one of the great, unsung bands of the era. Pim Scheelings has captured their story in all its strange, stoned, comical, complicated, tragic glory -- the drink, the drugs, the fights and, of course, the music -- all discussed and dissected in frank, often brutally honest words by the surviving band members and their collaborators. This is the story of Q65: no punches pulled -- the whole truth and nothing but the truth. 208 pages with tons of rare photos, interviews and discography."

"Prior to joining the Pretty Things in early 1967, Wally Waller and Jon Povey were members of another group from the same neighborhood, the Fenmen. Throughout 1965 and '66 the Fenmen crafted a strong harmony-based sound influenced by California groups like the Beach Boys, but retaining a strong English flavor. Their outstanding harmonies attracted the attention and praise of Graham Nash and Andrew Loog Oldham, who frequently employed them as backing singers on his sessions. Sunstroke presents a treasure trove of rare and unreleased Fenmen tracks, including 1965 demo recordings, a 1966 BBC radio session, a raw early 1963 acetate, and seven new tracks by Waller and Povey in the harmony-rich tradition of the Fenmen and the 1967-71 Pretty Things, including a breathtaking new arrangement of 'The Sun.' Old and new material flow together seamlessly to create a diverse listening experience in the tradition of your favorite classic albums. You'll want to file Sunstroke somewhere between Pet Sounds, Parachute, The Beach Boys Today and The Hollies' Greatest Hits."
