To Stone / Lost Innocence [7"]

Two genuine 60s garage rarities share a 7" here, the sixth release on the ROVR x Ace Records Uprising series. The Cheques' 'To Stone' is moody garage perfection with a rolling dance beat, cut by a band of young Air Force servicemen in Louisiana who made six 45s before splitting in 1969. The Buddhas' 'Lost Innocence' was the Bakersfield group's only single, a thumping, handclap-driven, reverb-drenched 1967 killer.

Edition details

7"

Original copies of both are scarce and expensive thanks to tiny pressings, so this UK import reissue puts them back within reach, housed in a picture sleeve.
