Release notes

Limited Edition on Purple Vinyl! The seminal, legendary, fantastic 60’s Garage-Punk gem from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania!!! An album that rivals The Sonics on raw 60’s Punk energy and power! A must!

The wicked torrent of fuzzed-out mayhem these Steel City hooligans burned onto their ’66 and ’67 single-sides is legendary: from a raunchy take on “Louie Louie” that drinks the Kingsmen under the table to a head-smash rendition of the Sonics’ “Psycho” to their gun-powdered cover of the Sparkles’ “No Friend of Mine.”
This first-ever reissue collects all of the Rats’ vintage sides plus four bona-fide killers from the vaults, including an original muscle car fuzz romp called “Hey Freak”; an extended version of “Tobacco Road” that’s a shotgun wedding of Nashville Teens R&B hedonism and Blues Magoos Bronx bombshells; a fine garage ballad called “I’m Going Home,” and a spiffy cover of the Kinks’ “She’s Got Everything.”
Complete with unseen photos and extensive liner notes filled with insights from the band.
