Here is a collection of music from 1965-67 out of McAllen Texas. This is 60s garage leaning more towards pop as opposed to psych or punk, though it is not lacking in quintessential 60s fuzz. This music is mostly vocal-centric, and seems to contain an over arching theme of love and heartbreak.  It is also interesting to note that the majority of the artists on this album were high schoolers whn they recorcecd this music (15-18 years old, what was I doing in high school?) 7 has some solid fuzz and plenty of drive, 16 is a nice instrumental surf tune, and 17 is a really nice female vocal with a solid bass line and a sweet organ solo ( my personal favorite). Tracks are all pretty short ranging from 2 to 3 minutes in length. Spin away! This music is Fun.       -Surfer Rosa
