'66 BREAKOUT! - A Shot Of 60's High Energy

 

  The mummies have gone back to their eternal rest.

  But the records are still spinning.

  After all those archaeological expeditions through Back From The Dead, it was only a matter of time before some of the treasures unearthed beneath tons of sand demanded a series of their own. That's how '66 BREAKOUT! was born, a new journey devoted to the most explosive recordings of the sixties, with no tombs, curses or sarcophagi required.

  The mission is simple: one solid hour of pure electricity. Garage punk, freakbeat, psychedelia, fuzz, proto-hard rock and every band that pushed sixties rock to its wildest extremes.

  This opening volume travels through the United States, Canada, Britain, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium, Iceland and Colombia, bringing together essential names such as Thor's Hammer, The Zakary Thaks, The Other Half, The Attack, The Guess Who and The Motions, alongside a long list of groups that left behind little more than one or two singles before disappearing.

  Twenty-two tracks where guitars roar, amplifiers crackle and the energy threatens to burst out of every groove.

  Because long before punk exploded in 1977...

another generation was already making enough noise to change the course of rock 'n' roll.

  Sixty minutes of pure high energy...

beamed straight from 1965, 1966, 1967...

and beyond.
