Oscar & The Majestics was a Gary, Indiana psychedelic garage rock group active in the mid- to late-1960s. Rare & Unissued Cuts '64-'66 is a collections of mostly unreleased cuts of pure and unadulterated classic garage rock. Fuzz, surf, and a go-go.

Something else from the press release:
Blast off! Rescued from the energetic ether, this set of six largely unreleased tracks from Midwest mid-sixties garage heroes Oscar & the Majestics is loaded with heavy riffs, tasty guitar licks, pounding drums, and lots of fuzz. Included here is the hideously rare and ferocious take on a Kingsmen classic, an explosive adjustment to "Shake A Tail Feather," and even more unearthed gems in Oscar & the Majestics oeuvre!

RIYL: The Standells, Jan & Dean, The Remains, The Electric Prunes and The Surfaris.

FCC CLEAN!
