Out of Order

 

I got slightly ahead of myself in a rush to keep consecutive posts related.
But then again, it's all still consecutive and related. Just out of order.

Big Hits of Mid-America: the Soma Records Story 1963-67 (1998)


So the original albums entitled "Big Hits of Mid-America" were put out by the Twin  Cities based Soma label in 1964 & 1965. The punk rock Volume Three took it from there on Twin Tone.

This compilation came out in 1998 and throws together most of both of those original records and a whole lot more into one tremendous package of 60s surf/garage fun Twin Cities style.

Come for "Surfin' Bird" but stay for the Gestures and add the Embermen's "Fat Girl" to all your party playlists.

You can thank me later
