TILL YOU GET WHAT YOU WANT
The first album featuring music by Phil and the Frantics came out in 1980 on the Bomp! Records label Voxx Records as Rough Diamonds, Volume 3 in their Rough Diamonds Series that consisted of entire albums by 1960’s garage rock bands that have more than one or two singles to their credit. The first side is in an earlier style and is what I imagine music at a “sock hop” might sound like (I was a little too young to have ever actually gone to one), while Side 2 collects music from the same period as “I Must Run”. Another of the songs on this album, “Till You Get What You Want” has been included on several garage rock compilation albums; I have a copy on Acid Dreams Epitaph.
