Description

Scream Loud!! – The Fenton Story – 61 Prime Slabs of Mid 60’s Michigan Teen Punk by 32 Bands. The Boxset contains 3 individual LP’s each with their own sleeve + a very informative inserts contain story and liner notes. One of the last lost treasures out of the wild mid sixties now available after 40 years. Many for the very first time. Beautifully re-mastered in gorgeous mono. The sounds presented herein were largely recorded by young people blessed with the innocence of youth, which made all things seem possible even as college, the draft, marriage, and the other responsibilities of the real world were bearing down upon them. Some 40 years later they still possess considerable charm, at the very least evoking the magical aura of the mid-1960s, and at their best standing as enduring musical statements. The high quality of music released on Fenton was due in no small part to the skills of label head Dave Kalmbach and the unique sound of the Great Lakes Recording Studio. Described by rival studio owner Phil Roberts Jr. as "something of a genius on matters of electronics and sound," Kalmbach had originally operated out of a basement, but circa 1963 he partnered with Bruce Smith to move into the Our Theater in downtown Sparta, a few miles north of Grand Rapids.

3 LP’s pressed in virgin 180 gram hifi vinyl. Boxset + 3 LP covers inside + insert.
