Raunch – Total Raunch

(Mid-’60s garage-punk from Ossining, NY. In the short time of the band’s existence, The Raunch released one scorching 7-inch, contributed a cool Paul Revere cover to the collectable local ‘Battle Of The Bands’ compilation and recorded notable covers of ‘Hey Joe’ and John D. Loudermilk’s ‘Tobacco Road’. This one-sided LP collects all those five tracks and adds a 4-page info sheet, including rare pix. The two songs from the single, originally issued by Bazaar Records, are the crude garage track ‘A Little While Back’ b/w the more moody ‘I Say You’re Wrong’. Though we only get five tracks, there’s enough energy, sharpness and garage-punk excitmenet to fill a complete album)
