Back in 1979, rock historian and all-round avid fan Greg Shaw curated the legendary Pebbles series, following in the wake of Lenny Kaye’s equally prized Nuggets series from earlier in the decade. By 1988, Shaw had turned his eye to England for a series of LPs; English Freakbeat. For new (and old) lovers of 60s teenage noise, English Freakbeat continues to offer an invaluable selection of “raw, rockin’ nuggets” from beyond the grave. Like Pebbles, it offers a lesson in teenage adrenalin and angst, two factors that helped shape the future of rock ‘n’ roll and the underground sound of punk rock, grunge and ‘indie’. Iconic? Hell yeah!!
All six original volumes, lovingly restored in glorious mono. With expanded liners and loadsa added pics and memorabilia, this exclusive box set edition is testimony to not only the original ‘kids’ who sweated it out on two sides of wax back in the 60s, but to Shaw himself whose affection for, and commitment to garage punk, needs no explanation. Like he said: these ‘crazy limey teen punks’ sure did kick some serious ass!
