”-Following on from our compilation of the Wailers’ Golden Crest era, this is the definitive issue of the band’s first two albums upon their own pioneering Etiquette label; cornerstone records that inspired the Sonics, the Ventures and the entire Northwest 60s rock renaissance.

-The Fabulous Wailers ruled the roost in the Pacific Northwest during the early 1960s and both ”At The Castle” and ”& Co.” were mandatory listening for the teens of the region. The live album in particular expertly captures the band at their base the Spanish Castle (their shows at the venue inspired ’Spanish Castle Magic’ by Wailers’ fan Jimi Hendrix). Both records feature some of the dirtiest white R&B ever laid down, and showcase the incredible guitar style of the recently deceased and justifiably legendary Rich Dangel.

– As well as some fabulous instrumentals, there are vocal cameos from Rockin’ Robin Roberts, Kent Morrill, girl group the Marshans and 15 year old blue-eyed soulstress Gail Harris. These acts were all part of the Wailers’ revue in that period, and with the band behind them make for over an hour of tremendous Northwest rock’n’roll action!

– This compilation features both albums in their entirety plus several bonus tracks from rare singles, most of which have not previously been on CD. The sound quality is a major improvement upon any previous CD issues of this material, and the in-depth liner notes are based upon interviews with all the surviving band members and associates. Also illustrated with plenty of rare pix and memorabilia.
