The Roosters All Of Our Days

The Roosters have been known among fans and followers of the Californian mid '60s folk rock scene for a long time. In 1968 they had a fine psych-pop'ish single out on major Philips. Both sides are featured on this LP. Their 'One Of These Days' b/w 'You Gotta Run' debut 45 has already been included on early garage compilations and is a huge favourite among collectors. Less well known is their second and at least as brillant 45 'Rosebush' b/w 'Ain't Gonna Cry Anymore'. Additionally there's a rare 1965 surf/mersey punk single released under the name 'Five More', an early 1965 acetate put down as the Avengers and most of all, three 1966 stunning unreleased folk/garage janglers recorded at Gold Star Studio. This collection finally puts all these gems in one place and unravels the enigmas behind the band on a LP sized full glossy insert with a detailed history of the band emerging from the memoirs of guitarist and songwriter Timothy Ward and the bands vocalist Ray Mangigian. This is embellished with a load of stunning never-before-seen photos. Finally here's the legacy of an underrated, but excellent band, straight outta Los Angeles, the mid-Sixties epicenter of jangle - The ROOSTERS!
