THE CRUSADERS: She Beats Me Up. Australia. Stolen Records. 8 trax from one of my fave Aussie bands. $9

THE DEL-VETTS: Self-Titled. U.S. Sundazed. While the Windy City produced plenty of pop chart acts in the sixties, the real story of Chicago’s garage band golden age was rock-hard suburban teen club heroes the Del-Vetts. Under the guidance of legendary producer Bill Traut, these North Shore guitar gods issued four singles across numerous labels (including Dunwich, Seeburg) and two names (A/K/A the Pride & Joy). They’re all here, including arguably the greatest Chi-town garage record of ‘em all, “The Last Time Around.” $12
