VA • Uptight Tonightː Ultimate 60's Garage Collection

 

Review by Steve Leggett
This 26-track assemblage of vintage '60s garage band singles may not actually be the ultimate garage rock collection (the Nuggets box set probably has that distinction locked up), but Uptight Tonight: Ultimate 60's Garage Collection rips out the attitude and trash riffs pretty darn well, making it perhaps the ultimate single-disc set of this raggedly endearing (and enduring) rock style. There are some well-known garage classics here, like Count Five's genre-defining "Psychotic Reaction," Music Machine's ultra-assertive "Talk Talk," and the Seeds leave-me-be anthem "Pushin' Too Hard," but there are also some less well-known sides like the Sonics' Kinks-on-steroids monster "He's Waitin'," the Wailers' "Hang Up" fuzzfest, and Dean Carter's unhinged and manic version of "Jailhouse Rock." Serious garage band record collectors will already have most of these tracks, but listeners looking for a single-disc compilation to check out what all the fuss is about, or folks looking for a good purchase to supplement the Nuggets box, Uptight Tonight will be darn near perfect. Either way, it hits the nerves like an ice pick full of adrenaline.

Reseña de Steve Leggett
Este conjunto de 26 pistas de singles de bandas de garaje de los años 60 puede que no sea la colección definitiva de rock de garaje (la caja de Nuggets probablemente tiene esa distinción), pero Uptight Tonight: Ultimate 60's Garage Collection desprende la actitud y los riffs basura bastante bien, lo que lo convierte en el disco definitivo de este estilo de rock tan entrañable (y duradero). Hay algunos clásicos del garaje bien conocidos aquí, como "Psychotic Reaction" de Count Five, el ultra-asertivo "Talk Talk" de Music Machine, y el himno de los Seeds "Pushin' Too Hard", pero también hay algunos lados menos conocidos como el monstruo de los Kinks con esteroides "He's Waitin'" de los Sonics, el fuzzfest "Hang Up" de los Wailers, y la versión desquiciada y maníaca de Dean Carter de "Jailhouse Rock". Los coleccionistas serios de discos de bandas de garaje ya tendrán la mayoría de estos temas, pero los oyentes que busquen una compilación de un solo disco para comprobar de qué va todo el alboroto, o la gente que busque una buena compra para complementar la caja de los Nuggets, Uptight Tonight será casi perfecta. En cualquier caso, golpea los nervios como un punzón lleno de adrenalina.
