Description:

＜The 20th issue of the "60's GARAGE ROCKIN' OLDAYS" reissue series, supervised by Jimmy Masuko and presented by All Days Records, is a collection of two French garage pioneers who emerged in France in the early 1960s under the direct influence of British beats. In the early 1960s, France was at the height of the "YAIE" boom, which was led by female idols such as Sylvie Vartan and Françoise Ardie. Although American and British-born rock 'n' roll was covered in French by Johnny Arridi, there was a small following for wild rock 'n' roll. In the midst of all this, Ronnie Byrd appeared in 1964 under the direct influence of the British beat.In a unique French environment similar to that of Japan, where only songs in one's native language can be a hit, the band wrote their own French lyrics, struggled alone with their mushroom hair, and, although they were too wild to stand out among their idols, they took on songs by the Rolling Stones, Pretty Things, the Who, and others, The band's songs, which featured the Rolling Stones, Pretty Things, and the Who, were undoubtedly the catalyst for many French teens to fall in love with the rowdy rock of the United Kingdom. Although he disappeared at the end of the 1960s due to a lack of hits with his original songs, Bird has been regarded as a pioneer of French garage since the 1980s. From Buddy Holly covers to French soul, this album offers a taste of Ronnie Byrd's charms. ~From the commentary by Masuko Jimmy
