Various: Back From The Grave - Volume 2 (Garage Punkers)

 

JERRY AND THE OTHERS

Back from the Grave, Volume 2 (CD), is the second installment in the Back from the Grave compact disc-exclusive series of garage rock compilations assembled by Tim Warren of Crypt Records. It was released on August 23, 1996.

THE ROYAL FLAIRS

Its track listing differs from that of the LP version, which is part of the Back From the Grave LP-edition series, also on Crypt. In keeping with all of the entries in the series, and as indicated in the subheading which reads "Raw 'n' Crude Mid-60s Garage Punk!," this collection consists of many songs which display the rawer and more aggressive side of the genre and are often characterized by the use of fuzztone-distorted guitars and rough vocals.

THE KEGGS

Accordingly, the set generally excludes psychedelic, folk rock, and pop-influenced material in favor of basic primitive rock and roll. The packaging features a booklet containing well-researched liner notes written by Tim Warren which conveys basic information about each song and group, such as origin, recording date, and biographical sketches, usually written in a conversational style that includes occasional slang, anecdotes, humorous asides.

Back from the Grave is considered one of the most important and influential garage rock compilations series ever assembled. Though it takes a much narrower approach to the genre, the tracks compiled on its ten volumes are considered to be of exceptionally high quality throughout.

THE SLOTHS

Back from the Grave's influence can be seen in other series that take a similar approach to compiling garage records.

THE ILLUSIONS

Back from the Grave, Volume 2 is the second installment in the Back from the Grave series of garage rock compilations put together by Tim Warren of Crypt Records on LP.  

THE HUNS

The second volume from Crypt Records' Back From the Grave series digs up more stylish, underground garage rock from '60s groups like Murphy & the Mob, the Fabs, the Hallmarks, and the Sloths. Red Beard & the Pirates' "Go On, Leave" is among the many high points on this uncompromising, entertaining garage sampler.

THE HALLMARKS

This collection consists of songs which display the rawer and more aggressive side of the genre and are often characterized by the use of fuzztone-distorted guitars and rough vocals. The set generally excludes psychedelic, folk rock, and pop-influenced material in favor of basic primitive rock and roll.

THE MONTELLS

If you've ever heard any of the other volumes, you know what I'm talking about: This is the kind of gutbucket brilliance that puts other garage rock comps to shame. There's nothin' but snarl and fuzz as far as the eye can see.
The amateurism is truly inspired, the melodies are brutally catchy, and the drums will melt your eyeballs. As for highlights... At the end of volume two (volume five on vinyl) the delivered the definitively awful (i.e., wonderful) "To Find Out." serving up with pure corrosive genius.

ROCKY AND THE RIDDLERS

The packaging features well-researched liner notes written by Tim Warren which convey basic information about each song and group, such as origin, recording date, and biographical sketches, usually written in a conversational style that includes occasional slang, anecdotes, humorous asides. The liner notes are noticeably opinionated, sometimes engaging in tongue-in-cheek insults directed at other genres of music.

JAGUARS

The packaging also includes photographs of the bands, and the front cover features a highly satirical cartoon by Mort Todd depicting revivified "rock and roll" zombies who have just emerged from the grave to "burn on a skewer" all adherents of supposedly heretical pop and progressive music which have come to prominence over the years, such as disco.

HUMANS

The set begins with "Don't Cry to Me," by Jerry & the Others, from Dayton, Ohio is set to pounding Bo Diddley rhythms and scintillating guitar parts. Murphy & the Mob from Tyler, Texas sing the highly despondent "Born Loser," which was released on Talisman Records in 1966. The set continues with "You Can't Make Me," by the Montells from Miami, Florida, who had previously recorded as H.M. Subjects (Her Majesty's Subjects).
