Matches in DBpedia 2016-04 for { ?s ?p "Back from the Grave, Volume 1 (LP) is the first installment in the Back from the Grave series of garage rock compilations put together by Tim Warren of Crypt Records. It was released in 1983. In keeping with all of the entries in the series, and as indicated in the subheading which reads \"Rockin' 1966 Punkers,\" this collection consists of songs which display the rawer and more aggressive side of the genre and are often characterized by the use of fuzztone-distorted guitars and rough vocals. The set generally excludes psychedelic, folk rock, and pop-influenced material in favor of basic primitive rock and roll. The packaging features well-researched liner notes written by Tim Warren which convey basic information about each song and group, such as origin, recording date, and biographical sketches, usually written in a conversational style that includes occasional slang, anecdotes, humorous asides. The liner notes are noticeably opinionated, sometimes engaging in tongue-in-cheek insults directed at other genres of music. The packaging also includes photographs of the bands, and the front cover features a highly satirical cartoon by Mort Todd depicting a revivified \"rock and roll\" zombie who, along with his macabre cohorts, has just emerged from the grave to \"bury\" all specimens of supposedly \"heretical\" pop and progressive music which have come to prominence over the years, such as disco music and MTV.The set begins with \"My Confusion\" by The Elite from Fort Worth Texas. \"Do You Understand Me,\" was their last release by Grand Rapids, Michigan's The JuJus. Two songs by the Alarm Clocks from Parma, Ohio are included, \"Yeah\" and \"No reason to Complain\"--both recorded at Sound Ideas Recording Studio in Cleveland. The Fabs from Fullerton, California, are sometimes mistaken for being from Texas, perhaps because the cut, \"That's the Bag I'm In,\" though recorded in Hollywood, was released on the Dallas-based Cottonball label. The Malibus from Providence, Rhode Island can be heard on the fuzz-drenched \"Cry\" and the Legends from Holland, Michigan, play \"I'll Come Again,\" which was recorded in 1965 but not released until 1967 on Fenton Records. Several of the odder cuts are the \"We All Love Peanut Butter\" and a take on \"Jack the Ripper,\" both done by the One Way Streets and \"Rat's Revenge Part One\" and \"Rat's Revenge Part Two\" by the Rats. The Swamp Rats, from Pittsburgh do a rendition of the Sonics's \"Psycho.\" The set closes with the unlikely inclusion of the song that, in the Words of Jeff Jarema, is \"in the tradition of the Stooges and MC5...another 1970 punk classic,\" \"Ghost Power,\" by the Cords, a group made up of real-life Franciscan monks, who in the spirit of Vatican II decided to play rock & roll as a way to attract some of the younger generation to consecrated life. The song also appears on the Garage Beat '66, Volume 4 CD compilation, released on Sundazed Records in 2005."@en }
