Each album included rubber puke glued on cover. Includes Tina Peel's "Exception To The Ruler" (guest vocals by Bongwater's Ann Magnuson) and "Wang It".

Like messrs Connolly and Prevost, Rudi Protrudi was no young kid on theblock when the garage revival came into being. In fact, like his contemporaries he'd been around the block a few times before he acquitted himself to 1966 for eternity! Tina Peel, a band he formed in 1977, already aired influences of '60s teen-o-rama ala The Raiders and Tommy Roes? There was a punk energy, but in essence this was uncomplicated melodic pop music. The band's bright clothes also shunned the generation X outlook of the punks. It's puerile, sure. But that was the point. Like The Fleshtones, this was seventies music that harked back to a time that was seen as unhip.It wasn't for sometime that Protrudi found his calling card, but this set of songs do prove that he was ahead of the game of the revival. And for that he must be praised.

Probably the greatest album Link Wray never made.

Alan Taylor - MISTY LANE #17

Both the full-length German album and the eight-song mini-LP (no overlap; the latter boasts a nutty live version of "Batman") are the fun-filled results of an informal 1986 session ans sound-thanks in no small part to the genuine-article songs and properly reverent originals-like long-lost Link Wray outtakes.

JOHN STOREY - MUSIC MANIAC RECORDS

Link Protrudi's tribute to Burlesque and striptease!

Inspired by the great exotic keyboard stylings of Korla Pandit, as well as the sultry sounds of middle eastern belly-dancing music, Link Protrudi & The Jaymen explored vastly new ground with this sexodelic 1996 release. Very moody, trippy, and atmospheric, with fuzz, twelve string, bongos, finger cymbals, spooky organ, etc.

Set up as a side project to Rudi Protrudi and the Fuzztones, this also functions as a tribute to Link Wray and the Raymen, with no less than eight of the 23 tunes on here being Link classics. Covering everything from "Mr. Guitar" and "Dinosaur" to the obvious choices like "Rumble," "Jack the Ripper" and "Rawhide," the trio also delivers Link-approved originals in "Chicken Choke," "Avalanche," "Backfire" and "Psyclone." Taken from the project's two vinyl albums, Drive It Home and Missing Links, this is straightforward, blast-it-out live-in-a-four-track-studio raunch, devoid of all subtleties. With that in mind, it sounds perfect, totally faithful to the sound and style it's so lovingly recreating here. A delicious alternative to pseudo-surf bands.

Link Protruid & The Jaymen's "Bandito" appears on this video collection of 80's garage and punk bands.

Guitarist/vocalist Patrick Mata, bassist Steve Brundege and drummer M.P. formed the acid-punk combo Sativa Luvbox in the late '80s. After the independent albums Vision and the Voice and Close One Sad Eye were released, the band signed with MCRudi guests on two tracks here, "U Got It All Wrong" (uncredited blues harp) and "Pagan Son" (Guitar). Released in 1993.

Rudi guests on lead guitar on "La Bruja" (The Witch/Sonics.)

MISTY LANE P.R.

Transworld Garage Beat Scene in the late 90's - international garage compilation which includes : Sick Rose, Satelliters, Rookies, Toni Borlotti e i suoi Flauers, Movin'Flames, Hipsters, Rudi & The Others, Cardinals, Hunch backed Men,Frantic V, Girl Bombs, Sleepwalkers, Maggots. Features Rudi & The Others' "No Reason To Complain."

Solo album by N.Y. Doll Sylvain Sylvain. Rudi contributes backing vocals on the Pretty Things cover, "I'm Your Man."

"I'm Your Man" takes things into another realm: garage rock. It's no coincidence that Fuzztone Rudi Protrudi makes a guest appearance on backup vocals. This is the kind of thing that drives them bonkers at the annual Cavestomp in New York.

JOE VIGLIONE, ALL MUSIC GUIDE

The first solo album from Fuzztones' frontman, Rudi Protrudi, is quite a departure from the psychedelic garage grunge that he's known for! Although Rudi sneaks in the occasional fuzz box and combo organ, this is hard-core Country, with stand-up bass, steel guitar, acoustic and electric (Gretsch, baby!) guitars, and that country twang you'd associate with George Jones or Porter Wagoner. The songs are quite twisted, and his versions of "Psycho" and "The First Mrs. Jones," are actually quite chilling! Possibly the first garage psych country crossover record! A masterpiece!

Rudi Protrudi is the producer and it sounds a bit like the old Fuzztones. High wall is the first track, originally by The Debonairs. At first I didn't recognize it because I thought it was the instrumental version of the Fuzztones' She's wicked. Coincidence or not, but the keyboard player on that Fuzztones song was called Ded O'Nair. Track 2 is the Challengers' K-39. On side B you'll find another cover, the Victors' Bird walk and last track is an original called Gyros-spazz. These are 4 great surf tunes and I hope there's gonna be an album out soon.

DIRK UNGAWA - MAKE TROUBLE

Recorded in 1980, this collection of tracks by Harrisburg, Pennsylvania's first punk band sat in the bassist's garage for 30 years, before Rudi secured it (a reel tape in a box without the reel). The Punk Rock Janitors were three guys who barely graduated special ed in school, and a gal rhythm guitarist who, in her early 20's, looked like a 13 year old hooker. How this motley crew ever learned to play instruments, let alone write songs is one of life's mysteries, but their tunes are melodic and energetic. Thankfully, Danny Trash's lead guitar work isn't hindered by any knowledge of musical theory, scales or the like. Hence, some of the most "out there" solos ever heard! Included here, their original, "Just Once," which was later rearranged and recorded by The Fuzztones.
