Sonics
Savage Young Sonics (Norton)
Reviewed by Alan Wright

Don't expect much of the Sonics' hi-energy garage-slam that made them famous because this is really early stuff, recorded when they were aping The Wailers. Not to say this isn't good, 'cause it is, it's just really lo-fi and mostly instro. On the last four tracks, recorded after Gerry Rosalie joins, the patented Sonics sound starts to kick in.
