ikon records story

US 05 / CRYPT
29 tracks (22 originals and 7 cover versions) of never reissued 1964-1966 garage punk, surf instros, frat stomp and folk-punk from 20 teenage bands recorded at Sacramento’s IKON STUDIO. These 28 cuts, culled from the to-besimultaneously-released 60-song double CD on the FRANTIC RECORDS label, are the result of FRANTIC RECORDS’ Joey D and ACE RECORDS’ Alec Palao having spent the last 6 years tracking down every band, almost every master tape, and (often without luck!) the impossible-to-find 7” singles released on Ikon. This vinyl version is housed in a deluxe full-color inside-and-out gatefold jacket crammed with color and b&w photos, label shots, and extensive liner notes. Well, prepare yourselves for an asswhomping BOOM when you drop the needle on any of these 4 sides, baby! Deluxe-Gatefold Cover und 2x 180gr Vinyl. Ein Killerteil! * Crypt.
