DESCRIPTION
UK collection. Texas-based Huey P. Meaux hit paydirt with Sir Doug's 'She's About A Mover' in early 1965. The maverick producer immediately threw out a cattle call for the next bunch of teenage longhairs who could deliver him a hit. That didn't happen, but over the next few years he amassed a litany of superb grass roots punk and Rock 'n' Roll recordings, spread across his Tribe, Pacemaker, Pic 1, Ventural, Capri imprints and others. While there were occasional visitors from out-of-state: the bulk of Meaux's charges naturally hail from the motherlode of Texas, ground zero for the raunchiest, gnarliest 60's punk. Mostly taped at his Pasadena Sounds facility, "Don't Be Bad" celebrates the Crazy Cajun's garage rock legacy. Extensive research into Huey Meaux's rarely tapped vault has resulted in a power-packed set list guaranteed to impress even the most hardened garage collector. Master tape sound on classics including Barry & Life's 'Top-Less Girl', Destiny's Children 'Fall Of The Queen' and the Passions' 'Lively One' guarantees a punchy listen; superb unreleased sides from the likes of the Driving Wheels and Sands add major appeal. The packed booklet spills the full beans on the amazing contents.
