This is a 24 track definitive compilation of the ultimate one-shot garage band - San Jose, California's Count Five. It's a fresh look at the teenage combo that sent the timeless teen angst anthem "Psychotic Reaction" into the U.S. Top 10 in the summer of 1966. For the first time on a C5 reissue, the original master tapes have been used (previously it was a mixture of appalling fake stereo and mediocre disc dubs), and the Big Beat sleuths even located the original session tape of "Psychotic," which has a completely different ending. Tape research threw up further alternate takes, unedited versions and fabulous unreleased material from the vaults of Double Shot Records, for whom the C5 recorded a classic LP and several great singles, all of which are here.
