Along with the Sonics, these Legendary rockers brought the excitement of the
Little Richard school of crazed boogie to the teens of the Pacific Northwest and
then built upon it by infusing 4 with a variety of other sources, none 'the least of
which was their own talents as musicians and song writers. These two CDs
capture a major portion of their better work and offer a look at the young lads in the
studio and in a live setting, with their review style show. This band was on the
forefront of the surge in excellence, in the area, that included the Raiders, the
Count Five, the ventures and others. There are plenty of rhythm and blues style
instrumentals, wild versions of pop and Motown hits and some truly fine originals
such as, 'Dirty Robber,' 'Out of our Tree,' 'Hang Up' and 'You Weren't Using Your
Head.' And , as is often the case with CD reissues, there are extras in the form of
bonus tracks and liner notes galore. Throw in 'Louie Louie' and you re good to go.
