V.A. Highs In The Mid Six, Complete Collection, Part. 3, Vols. 17-23

Pues con algo de pena acabamos este repaso a una de las series mas importantes del garage, pues he pasado muy buenos momentos con ella y espero que vosotros también.

Un buen repaso a varias regiones estadounidenses con bandas la mayoría bastante desconocidas y con bastantes temas inéditos y que aparecieron por primera vez en esta colección.

Os recuerdo que la colección se publicó entre 1983 y 1987 por AIP (Archive International Productions), siendo como una sub-serie dentro de los "Pebbles", y una cosa que me sorprende, aunque quizás sea error de datos es que no se publicaron cronológicamente los volúmenes, sino que un poco a boleo, aunque la verdad es que poca importancia tiene. Y también que todavia es posible hacerse con estos vinilos a través de la red con precios entre 18 y 20 euros.

Pues no se que mas decir que no lo digan las canciones incluidas, así que como estoy un poco vago, lo dejamos aquí, aunque un vistazo al extenso track-list y un orejazo a los temas seleccionados en los reproductores supongo os pondrá los dientes largos, Ahí va:
