PS: One more thing. The three best garage bands from the U.S. during the eighties were the Chesterfield Kings, the (hardly ever sober) Lyres and the raving´ Tell-Tale Hearts (ex-the CRAWDADDYS) from San Diego. There were hundreds of other bands (-or thousands worldwide), but they´ve arrived later and they were all trying to copy the Chesterfield Kings, Lyres, and the Crawdaddys/Tell-Tale Hearts style because they were the first (and the best) groups to play 60s GARAGE music again since 1966. So, most of the other early 80s garage bands from the U.S. were nowhere near as good, since they´ve started-out as Chesterfield Kings, Lyres, or Tell-Tale Hearts -copy bands - because they didn´t know any better to do, since they were not experienced sixties garage punk collectors, so during the early ´80s everybody was actually trying to copy the C.Kings, Lyres, Crawdaddys/Tell-Tale Hearts style. You know, there were not even so many 60s garage comps to cover songs from around in the beginning of the early eighties. I was working at a record shop at that time (1979/80) and the Crawdaddys first album was my favorite of all the new groups albums, so I´ve played it very often and it sold well to the Kinks, Pretty Things crowd. Then came the Milkshakes. The Cramps etc. were already around since a long time, but that was another story. The first Chesterfield Kings and Lyres ALBUMS came out later. Back then the only 60s vinyl comps around were Nuggets, some series about Northwest Bands and the first two volumes of Pebbles and then suddendly it started to explode with the arrival of all the new garage groups and the other 60s garage series: FLASHBACK, CSFD, PSYCH UNKNOWNS, DEMENTION OF SOUND, NEW ENGLAND TEEN SCENE, HIPSVILLE 29 BC, BACK FROM THE GRAVE etc. Let´s face it, the Chesterfield Kings were the most authentic sounding U.S. garage band from the early eighties. ´nuff said now! GOOD LUCK!!

I´ve just received some cool feedback from the mighty Mad Jon of the King Bee Quarterly ´zine etc. himself:

"Hi, I thought your editorial was interesting. You made some good points, but as Mike Stax of The Tale-Tell Hearts stated at The Primitive Au-Go-Go in 1985 "We have to follow those guys?!?!" He was referring to The Royal Nonesuch. The Nonesuch had been around in one incarnation or another since the late seventies. The band broke up in 1988 after a long hard run. I admire the Kings and The Tell-Tale Hearts (I even played in a 1989 line up of The Hearts for a year, I also replaced the guitar player in The Nonesuch after that gig with the Hearts in 1985). The Royal Nonesuch were an amazing band that few people know about. The 45's did not do the band justice. There is a novel worth of stories and anecdotes in the Nonesuch's brief span. If ever a band was lost in the shadows of time in the 1980's and never got their due The Royal Nonesuch is that band. For what it's worth... Mad Jon"

Thanks Mad Jon, It´s true, the Nonesuch were a real boss garage band in every sense. I´ve received a demo-cassette recording of The Royal Nonesuch´s KILLER "Somethin´Strange" single (Unlimited) from the FANTASTIC Derek "Deke" Dickerson of the Rivieras-styled Untamed Youth (and editor of the unbelievable Show-Me Blowout ´zine), before it probably was released - in the late eighties (I was a big fan of the Wylde Mammoths (Crypt) at that time) The Royal Nonesuch have quite a few fans in Europe, because they were so authentic - they do rate amongst everybodys favorites.
I have the MOST BEAUTIFUL Tell-Tale Hearts poster & a cassette recording from the TTH´s frantic shows at the Primitive Au-Go-Go (January 11-12 1985) in my collection. The Tell-Tale Hearts first album on Voxx was released while they were on tour, playing some shows at The Primitive Au-Go-Go. After the Tell-Tale Hearts return from that tour (in January 1985) it was terrifying when they´ve found out that Greg Shaw (notorious bootlegger of many Swiss 60s records + stupid fool behind the tasteless Pebbles series) had played around with the mastertapes of the TTH´s first album. Shaw had completely remixed the mastertapes without the bands knowing - he´s even removed some of the best guitar parts (those for example in the TTH´s very own MASTERPIECE called Never Alone) completely and so the first Tell-Tale Hearts album on Voxx was more or less ruined. The bandmembers were terribly dissapointed with the results, because Greg Shaw had completely destroyed the incredible sounding original mixes, they were pissed off..
