Most of the songs were somewhat hits from years past that most had forgotten about or never heard and which Lenny saw as garage rock. The songs held together, though they actually ranged quite a bit, and were copied & covered by many bands later. It also spawned a huge series of other compilations (bootleg & legit) collecting similar stuff and probably influenced the more recent old lost soul compilations (such as the Numero Uno group's great collections).

Despite the brevity of some of the tracks it's really groove crammed making some very cheaply recorded music sound even thinner and the cover was some lovely gold finish that retains every fingerprint or breath ever to touch it. a lot of the bands are represented by far from their best efforts (Velocity girl and Therese being notable exceptions) but it was still once a treasured album in my world, so thanks for posting this. The Shop Assistants, God they were just perfect, but I'm sad to see the lack of love for the more angular and odd stuff on there - the great breadth of stuff on it was its strength at the time and the fact the term just came to mean wishy washy jangly twee-ness something of a shame. I guess those other guys never got heard so much but your comparisons are amusingly wide of the mark - Age Of Chance as The Swell Maps heh, heh - and you're unfair to A Witness, who were more interesting than you'd guess having so little to go on...blah bleh time i stopped grumbling, - cheers I’ve got a vinyl copy I sent away for at the time – trust me you’re fine with your mp3′s or whatever.

Defining a genre? I'm old enough, yawn, to remember great samplers such as CBS's Rock Machine I Love You '68, Fill Your Head With Rock '70, Island's You Can All Join In '69, Nice Enough To Eat '69, Bumpers '70 et al. These were also enormously representative of amazing, gorgeous, life-changing music, in their day. Check 'em out. Great post, great blog. Defining a genre?
