SONICS - THE SAVAGE YOUNG SONICS

(NW 909) Long before they delivered the full blown crunch of The Witch andPsycho, the Sonics were cutting their teeth in Tacoma teen clubs! These crude 1961-64 sides were taped live at dances and at home, showing the heavy influence of their primo idols the Wailers and includes the ultra primitive A-Rab, the group's very first recording - raw!! These tapes were recently found in a Tacoma attic. This is their first appearance ever! Liner notes by Sonics founder/guitarist Larry Parypa!

A-Rab (home recording 1961) / Rumble (home recording 1961) / Shanghied(home recording 1961) / Sonic Blues (home recording 1961) / Mashed Potato Time(home recording 1962 w/Marilyn Lodge) / Wailin' (Clover Park High School Dance 1962) / High Wall (Clover Park High School Dance 1962) / Lucille/Slippin' And Slidin'(Lake City Teen Club 1963) / Swing Shift (Lake City Teen Club 1963) / Louie Louie(Lake City Teen Club 1963) / Sac O' Woe (Gaslight Teen Club 1963) / Hey Mrs. Jones(Gaslight Teen Club 1963) / In The Open (Gaslight Teen Club 1963) / Bony Moronie(Gaslight Teen Club 1963) / Just Pickin' Around (Gaslight Teen Club 1963 / Sonics Dance Ad (home recording 1964) / Wailers House Party (home recording 1964) / Keep A-Knockin' (home Recordings 1964) / Hold It (home recordings 1964) / Think (home recording 1964)
