You Got Yours! East Bay Garage 1965 - 1967

You Got Yours! East Bay Garage 1965-1967 is a compilation album featuring American garage rock bands that were active in the San Francisco Bay area between 1965 and 1967. It was released on September 18, 2007 on Big Beat Records and is the twenty-third installment of the Nuggets from the Golden State album series.[1] Generally overshadowed by the garage scenes located in Los Angeles and San Jose, the San Francisco scene was uniquely influenced by the surplus of folk rock, which would eventually develop into psychedelic rock. For the most part, the groups presented on You Got Yours! do not exemplify the teenage-angst and rawness associated with the garage rock genre, but rather display a level of professionalism not expected from an adolescent band.[2]

Musical highlights include the opening track by the Baytovens, which owes much of its influence to the Beatles and the Beau Brummels. Peter Wheat and the Breadmen's keyboard-driven number "Baby, What's New?" is well-known for its inclusion on Pebbles, Volume 10, in 1980. A Rolling Stones-esque proto-punk composition, "Tomorrow's Soul Sound" by the Harbinger Complex perhaps does not resonate among garage enthusiasts as much as their song "I'll Think About It", but is still marked by its fuzz-toned instrumentals. Beginning as a typical pop group, the Spyders' "Gotta Find a New Love" represented their transition into an early soul band. Despite some the professionalism established by groups on You Got Yours!, others, most notably from the Just Six and Blue Lite Conspiracy, and the Soul Vendors, exemplify the crudeness and aggressiveness typical of the garage format.[3][4]

You Got Yours! was released simultaneously as The San Francisco East Bay Scene: Garage Bands from the 60's Then and Now, a book written by Bruce G. Tahlser detailing the histories of individual bands associated with the San Francisco garage rock scene. The album includes rare photographs documenting each group, and informative liner notes penned by music historian Alex Palao.[4]
