This pressing is one of the worst sounding records that I own. Tons of surface noise and loud pops and crackling in many places despite cleaning it two times. Great music, but terrible sounding release.

Larosa

Is this a reissue of the mono or stereo mix?

This collection is an excellent introduction to the Sonics. Had they been handled right, they could have been a top band in their day. Gerrie Roslie seems to be a big part of the talent behind their sound. It's frat rock, it's party rock, it's punk before punk. Most of the Roslie compositions are semi-classics. 'The Witch', 'You Got Your Head On Backwards' (the lyric here would really annoy militant feminists). 'Dirty Old Man' takes a straight look at your typical leering lecher. Their covers of 'Diddy Wah Diddy' and 'I'm a Man' are fine, But the neurotic edge to Roslie's songs are more interesting, reminiscent of John Entwistle's always strange subject material for tunes. 'Boris the Spider' is one of my favorite Who songs, along with 'My Wife'.

I've listened to a lot of this band's material. The only track I found painful to listen to was a very tepid version of the Lenny Welch classic 'Since I Fell For You'. I don't think white boys can touch the excellence of Welch's performance. And they do a spirited version of 'Leave My Kitten Alone', but I do prefer that angry rock vocal John Lennon gives to the Beatles' take of the song.
