Retrospect '60s Garage Punk Show

Forget high fidelity; we’re chasing high volatility. We’ve dusted off the rarest acetate 45s in existence to bring you a wall-to-wall set of garage punk drenched in authentic vinyl hiss, pops, and warps. It’s as close to the 1966 cutting lathe as you can legally get.

These tracks never saw a proper commercial pressing. They lived and died on fragile acetate discs that popped, clicked, and hissed with every rotation. Tune past the surface noise for a masterclass in lost, raw 1960s teenage garage rock.

Three certified classics give you a taste of the era, but the main event is down in the muck. We fulfill the Retrospect mandate by plumbing the absolute depths of obscurity—where the fuzz is heavier, the sitars are weirder, and the records are practically mythical.
