Staff Pick of the Week

Every week we here at Repo like to pick one record that we can all agree on as being the one thing we can't stop listening to. This week's pick is.....

Off The Wall
(Past & Present)



An amazing collection of mid to late 60 garage rock/punk that was originally released in the 80's. If you're a fan of the Seeds, Paul Revere and the raiders or any of the other late 60's garage rock masters this is something to check out. Filled with Nuggets-esque samples of small time acts such as the E-T Types and The Opposite Six the whole album has a good variety in the selection. The songs selected make the whole album Garage Rock! but never manage to become boring or sounding like everyone is copying each other. This is partly because the songs range from The Grains of Sand's almost Folk-ish "She needs me"to the Drones spacey "I'm Down Today". It never really feels repetitive. So good, so good.



Also it's only limited to 500 copies so get'em while they're still around!
