A group from Washington, DC scene, better known in Europe, than in the U.S. Their first record, 'From Parts Unknown' was originally released on Dacoit (Kim 'Slickee Boys' Kane's label) and was produced by Mark Noone, another Slickee Boy. It was reissued in 1986 by the french label New Rose. Their second LP, 'Behind These Walls' was released in 1988 again on New Rose. In the 90s they released 'PsychoMetalPop - The Lost Cause of the Beatnik Flies', a compilation CD from their LPs. They reunited in 2004. In their website they're announcing a new record (end of 2005) which apparently never came out. -Edit: the record came out! see the comments. Beatnik Flies were considered part of the garage/psychedelic revival of the 80s, but I don't think this is tot

After the huge success of the previous post w/7" singles, here's seven more. To get serious, garage, no matter if it's first, second or fifth generation, if it's the original 60s' or the revivalist 80s' garage, is built on SONGS. Not LPs or CDs, but songs. The garage legends are built on the little 7"s which the bands themselves in most cases put out. Don't get me wrong: I'm not against albums, I'm just talking exclusively for the garage bands, not for other genres.

Here are seven singles (a & b sides) from seven U.S. groups. Almost all are non-LP. I've included the links to other releases from these bands - and there are quite a few. The link for the 7"s is at the end of this post.
Burning Rain - Climb To The Sky/Crystal Colord Cloud This was released in 1990 on Rockadelic in 500 copies. Psychedelia in the finest 13 Floor Elevators tradition. Burning Rain from Texas have at least 6 LPs, one of them you can find in the Teen Trash series (soon to be re-posted).
After
the great Battle of the Garages post here's another one from Voxx
records. Includes 8 bands from the middle and eastern US, with a bit
harder garage sound than the previous compilations. Most of them were
active in the 80s, and a few (Dwarves, Cynics, Time Beings) 'till today.
From Voxx press release: Compilation
of bands from the eastern part of the country who arrived just a bit
too late for our Battle of the Garages series. Compiled by Timothy
Gassen (Marshmallow Overcoat & Knights of Fuzz author) and
featuring some of our most gloriously colorful, exotic, oriental
artwork,

The legendary 1968 US psych album . A fine example of the West Coast psychedelic flower power sound with male and female harmonies, beautiful fuzz guitars and very trippy keyboard work. Excellent originals(pay attention to the amazing "If In Swimming") are combined with covers of "Catch The Wind", "The Times They Are A-Changing" and "Let’s Get Together". A 'must-have' for West Coast fans !
THE FLOWERS OF ROMANCE A brief history of the band as written by mrs Darkness: Flowers Of Romance was one of the most successful groups to emerge from the Greek rock scene of the 1990s. They started more or less as a pure punk band (although already their first album, Dorian Grey, showed signs of poppiness and gothic influences as well), then moved closer to traditional gothic rock with the album Pleasure & The Pain and then exploded into a gazillion of styles, combining missionesque riffs, gloomy atmospheres, and electronic pulses with a newly-found love for jazz, industrial, and spaghetti-western film scores.
The band was originally formed on February 2nd, 1981 by members Mike Pougounas-vocals (later will perform keyboards and sy

Review from the AMG:
One
of the most unique albums of the 1970s, R. Stevie Moore's debut
long-player is an uncategorizable mess that somehow keeps from falling
apart completely, kind of like a one-man band version of the Beatles' White Album
cross-pollinated with late-1960s Frank Zappa at his most antic. Yet
just as the album seems hopelessly self-indulgent and bizarre, Moore
suddenly veers into some of the sweetest and catchiest pop songs of the
pre-punk '70s. That dichotomy is what makes Phonography
special. Recorded in bits and pieces over the course of two years of
living room sessions, with Moore playing and singing every part,
barring the tambourine on the Soft Machine-like

The Silver Apples with a fully operational string section that knew

most experimental and artistically successful album of all. It was a
brave departure from her previous five albums on Vanguard. Gone were
