Hello Mariusz! Hope your summer is going well and you’re having a bit of fun. Appreciate the compliment but my collection is fairly humble. In fact, I just had a conversation with a friend about being a bit more…adventurous with adding albums to my collection. I feel like my taste in music have become increasingly discontent with the past. Seems like most people hit 50 and nostalgia becomes more and more important. But I’m always looking forward to a new sound or style. Maybe that’s the best way? I’d like to think so anyway. Cheers. Shawn
Dude the Sonics were certainly a pre-punk band whether they meant to be or not. There is a definite edge to their sound. Did not realize they were in the Archives. I need to replace the Sonics album at some point, and yeah hopefully originals. I had the Light In the Attic boxset but decided to sell that a while back.
I was surprised too. You I didn’t get that wrong; I took it from a list on Discog. So…if they’re not on there I sorry. Still a chance to talk about a band I really love. An important band. I’d take those first two Sonics records over the Fab 4. That’s a good debate idea. Why doesn’t the VC have debates? I like that idea. lol. As long as everyone acted like adults I don’t see a problem ;) enjoyed hanging at your auction. Till later. Shawn
Shawn, I have not heard The ( Fabulous) Wailers in 30 years. My friend, Pat turned me on to them, he was a fan of Fats Domino and Little Richard. The song, ''Tough Bounce'' was my favorite by them. A few years later my friend, Jim who was a college radio station DJ, turned me on to the Sonics. I was a fan of The Flamin' Groovies but Pat and Jim had no love for them at all.
The Wailers have become increasingly influential in many ways. Kurt Cobain was a fan and dropped their name during several interviews. I found the Sonics in HS with an old girlfriend who loved the Sonics and the Flaming Groovies. Teen Head was on her turntable that entire summer between after 12th grade. The Groovies, the Cramps, Patti Smith, Ramones…you get the idea. So Jim liked the Sonics but not the Groovies? Crazy. Although, the FG did become more pop oriented later in the 70s. But still great. Lol. Thank you for watching. Cheers. Shawn.

Sonics are great, loved their sound I am a big fan of the garage rock of the 60s. Lot of fun energy around it
Great video. A little tip, Jerry Lee Lewis "Live At The Star-Club" from 1964 is probably the wildest rock'n'roll show ever recorded. Cheers!
Hello Shawn. It has been a while. Great to see some of your amazing collection. 👍🏻
PS Luv the Piper as well.
