Elvis Presley – “Polk Salad Annie” (Live – 1970)
Elvis performing this classic by the swamp rock king Tony Joe White. Taken from the 1970 concert film Elvis: That’s the Way It Is.
Positively 13 O’Clock – “Psychotic Reaction” (1967)
Remake of this classic song by The Count Five – this is actually a Texas band called Mouse & the Traps (who released many singles) under a different name. A bit more frantic than the original.
The Open Mind – “Magic Potion” (1969)
Heavy fuzz-guitar stomper from this one-shot band. Too bad they disappeared after this.
The Brogues – “I Ain’t No Miracle Worker” (1965)
Garage punk classic from this short-lived group. Later covered by The Chocolate Watchband and in the 80s by The Chesterfield Kings and The Barracudas, as well as being included on the now-famous 1972 compilation Nuggets, this song has become a garage rock classic.
