Lead singer Gerry Roslie was no less than a white Little Richard, whose harrowing soul-screams were startling even to the Northwest teen audience, who liked their music powerful and driving with little regard to commercial subtleties. With hit after hit on the local charts (and influencing every local band that ever took the stage), the band inexplicably was never able to break out nationally, leaving its sound largely undiluted for mass consumption. Breaking up in the late '60s (after one ill-fated album attempt to water down their style for national attention), the Sonics continue today to be revered by '60s collectors the world over for their unique brand of rock & roll raunch.

Great stuff - the quality on the '72 recordings from the Paramount are great.
That show was their 'reunion' concert, just north of where they started in Tacoma. Of course, they recently reformed and played the paramount again, this past Halloween - 10/31/08. Can't wait to hear some recordings from that one. Roslie's voice is still amazing.
Sujo, selvagem e INCRÍVEL!!!!!
Covers de temas famosos com a cara do Sonics!!
Disco que procurava há muito tempo também e fiquei muito feliz de encontrá-lo por cá!
Obrigado Pablo!
Você sabe o quanto sou fã deste seu maravilhoso blog!!
I love the Sonics, and they are infinitely more exciting live. Thanks for a great and rare post.
Tremendas las 3 canciones del año 66, aunque la calidad del sonido no sea el mejor tiene una crudeza que retrata precisamente, para mi, sus mejores años 1965-67(los últimos).
Genial, unos más, es un placer.
Gracias.

Thanx!
Hallo
tanx for the sonics very psicoooo
Thanks a lot for sharing this!!! This is the mini-album "Live Fanz Only", been looking for it since long, it's unavailable since many years. Sound qhality of 66 recordings is quite poor but waw!, the sonics live in 66! The 72 recordings are great; I already had these versions of psycho and witch (bonus tracks on cd re-release of their first 2 albums "psycho-sonic"), but lucille is also great.
Must-have for every sonics fan!
Hi, Serge from belgium here. thank you very much for sharing this. I 've been looking for this for some time now. I just love this '60 stuff!
Top stuff - just found your blog and downloaded this first. Very much looking forward to it...
Who knows where to download XRumer 5.0 Palladium?
Help, please. All recommend this program to effectively advertise on the Internet, this is the best program!
Question: Why are Kings of Leon popular? The Strokes/Yeah Yeah Blah's and Ugly Animal Collective? Answer: quite simply because the average human doesn't read your blog, or should I say, isn't exposed to it properly. Rest assured in your grave, everyone I know will be aware of your explosion. tick tick Boom, thanks again.
thanks for your support all...
