In the mid-'70s, when the major labels were issuing lotsa crap music and lotsa of "dinosaur rock" bands were around to destroy our turntables, in the midwest a couple of guys were doing some interesting "weirdo" stuff...! These guys recording everything in their loosy basement, were called Screamin' Mee-Mees, and now they're a part of the American so-called "proto-punk" history...! Re-considered from the "punk" archivist in the late '80s/early '90s, the Mee-Mees issued a wonderful 7" EP in 1976 on their own little label Dog Face. That record (included here) can be easily considered one of the best examples of what was intended for "punk music" from the enthusiastic generation described in the 'From The Velvets To The Voidoids' book. The Mee-Mees, originally from St. Louis (Missouri), played a personal mixture of '60s garage and '70s punk with psych and Velvet-influenced touches, with a low-fi feel. Simply amazing! This record reissues on one album their rare and classic 'Live From The Basement' EP, plus some unreleased '70s stuff and rare songs issued on rare and bad-distributed singles. You cannot miss it!
