Three of the quirkier imprints from Hollywood\u2019s heyday in the mid-1960s were the record labels Dor\u00e9, Era and Mira. Like most seasoned indie producers in that epoch, their owners Lew Bedell, Herb Newman and Randy Wood struggled to get to grips with the onslaught of rock\u2019n\u2019roll activity that followed in the wake of the British Invasion. But amongst each company\u2019s catalogue of R&B, pop schlock and novelty discs were a number of outstanding garage and proto-psych 45s that today are sought-after collectors\u2019 items.<\/p>\n
\u201cBlow My Mind!: The Dor\u00e9-Era-Mira Punk & Psych Legacy\u201d collects together the best of this venerated repertoire in a power-packed set that also constitutes the first official reissue for many oft-bootlegged titles. Cuts like \u2018The Thief\u2019, \u2018Slander\u2019 and \u2018I\u2019ll Blow My Mind\u2019 would be expensive to acquire in their original, minutely-pressed incarnation. Here, with top-notch sound and extensive annotation, these totemic garage rock items shine brighter than ever.<\/p>\n
There is the expected quota of attitude-laden classics such as \u2018My Baby\u2019s Barefoot\u2019, \u2018Just Wanna Be Myself\u2019 and the incredibly snotty \u2018So What!!\u2019, along with less heralded gems by bands such as South Hampton Story, the Puddin\u2019 Heads, Yesterday\u2019s Tomorrow and the Search. An unexpected bonus is a superb unreleased cut by \u2018Hey Joe\u2019 hitmakers the Leaves, along with off-beat garage-psych titles by Simon T Stokes, the Outlaw Blues and the Wrench.<\/p>\n
\u201cBlow My Mind!\u201d is the natural sequel to the recent, well-received collection \u201cLost Innocence\u201d and is an essential purchase for the dedicated garage head. Compiled by genre expert Alec Palao and originally released by Big Beat\/ACE on CD only a few years back, it is now available on vinyl for the first time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
