"Blasting 60s punk from Florida, 1966! You may've heard the Montells' "You Can't Make Me" on "Back From The Grave" and their split 7" with The Evil on Norton which features the ferocious "Movin' On"… well this has both those two classics plus a whole album's worth of unreleased brilliance! The Evil actually formed outa the ashes of The Montells, and you get the full history of both bands on the liner notes inside the awesome pink & silver gatefold sleeve!" (Corduroy)

The surface noise here is an essential part of the listening experience & I, for one, appreciate it. And you :-)
I agree, a bit of snap and crackle never hurt anybody. And thank you for the link. Its much appreciated.
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for making this available at 320!
No, Evil did not form out of the ashes of the Montells! They were both going strong in 1965 and 1966. When drummer Jeff Allen left the Montells, he joined Evil, and with a few other personnel changes, the band recorded their classic "Whatcha Gonna Do About It". But the core of Evil (Doyle, Kinchen) were not Montells members, and the core of the Montells (Ragsdale-Weatherford-et al) were never Evil members. Jeff
Neither of these versions of Don't Put Me Down where they say fuck and it's bleeped out. It's on the All Cops in Delirium comp though.
is possible reupload this great album ?
thanks !!!
Great post! "I'm Movin' On" is a garage / protopunk classic.
John Doyle, lead singer of The Evil, has this to say about it:
"...'I'm Movin' On' had been a couple of cords, and a title, nothing more. On the way to the studio we realized we need another song, and it was written on the way to the studio. I had a terrible cold that day, and that could account for the attitude on it. But yes, it was written in about 5-10 minutes, and you can hear the mistakes in the words as I was reading them... 'I'm Movin' On' and a few others sat in my closet for years as scratchy old demo's until I gave them to Rock Historian Jeff Lemlich to keep in his collection. I never thought they'd be released..."
Love your blog -- keep up the good work!
