High Noon

V/A Vile Vinyl, Vols. 1 & 2 LPs

The first of two volumes of a new ’60s punk reissue series is promising, though not quite up to the standard of the Back from the Grave series. It pretty much steers clear of the wimpy, flowing psychedelic snoozers and sticks to the rockers. Of these, the standout tracks are by the DIRTY SHAMES, CHANGIN’ TIMES, BELLES, NIGHTCRAWLERS, and GOOD FEELINGS. Volume One is better overall.

V/A Vile Vinyl, Vols. 1 & 2 LPs

Slightly above-average ’60s comps, ranging from garage punk to pop punk. Volume 2 contains the classic “I Said Oh No No No” by the RAVING MADD. Far out, man.
