It Came from the Garage! Nuggets from Southern California is a garage rock compilation that features music made by acts who recorded for Downey Records in Downey, California during the 1960s.[1][2][3][4] The label was founded by brothers Jack and Bill Wenzel, who had previously owned a local music shop.[1] The compilation contains 24 tracks and was issued in 1997 by Big Beat Records, making it the third collection offered by Big Beat to feature material from the Downey archives.[1][2][3] The set represents the diversity of the genre ranging from typical three-chord fare to psychedelic, as well as soul-influenced garage.[1]
The set commences with "Edge of Nowhere" by the Sunday Group.[1][4] "Be Billy" is by Pat & the Californians who were a surf rock act, and members of the Surfaris appear on the track.[1] Bud & Kathy supply the tough-talking "Hang It Out to Dry".[1][4] The Last Word is featured on three tracks including the eerie and intense "Sleepy Hollow" which also appeared on Pebbles, Volume 5.[1][2] "The Frog" is by Sir Frog and the Toads, and supplies the set with one of its most danceable numbers, and the rockabilly-influenced "Penicillin, is by Johnny MacRae.[1][2] The Barracudas are featured on four songs, including "These Ironic Days", and the New Breed are showcased on three, including the Syndicate of Sound-influenced " I’ll Still Be Waiting There"[1][2][4] The set concludes with "Drifty", by Craig & Michael.[1][4]
