(THE STORY OF THE SYNDICATE RUNS ALONG SIMILAR LINES TO COUNTLESS OTHER ROCK’N’ROLL BANDS IN THE MID-SIXTIES. THEY GOT TOGETHER TO HAVE FUN, MADE SOME NOISE ON THE LOCAL TEEN SCENE, RECORDED A COUPLE OF SINGLES, MADE A VAIN GRASP FOR THE BRASSRING, THEN VANISHED INTO THIN AIR—ALL WITHIN THE SPACE OF TWO MAGICAL YEARS: 1965 AND 1966.WHAT MAKES THE SYNDICATE SPECIAL, THOUGH, IS THOSE TWO HARD-TO-FIND SINGLES. “MY BABY’S BAREFOOT” AND “THE EGYPTIAN THING”, BOTH RELEASED IN 1965 AND TWO OF THE MOST SAVAGE, HOT-WIRED BLASTS OF PUNK R&B MAYHEM EVER ETCHED INTO WAX, WHILE THE FLIPSIDE OF “THE EGYPTIAN THING,” “SHE HAUNTS YOU” SHOWS THE GROUP WERE EQUALLY ADEPT AT MOODY, MINOR-KEY MATERIAL. ONE YEAR IN THE MAKING, THE “EGYPTIAN THING” ALBUM PRESENTS THE BAND’S FOUR A'S & B'S ALONGSIDE FOUR UNRELEASED, SAME-CALIBRE TRACKS SUCH AS “IT’S SIMPLE”, “I’M IN A BAD WAY”, “GETTIN CLOSER” AND THE FREAK-PSYCHISH “HILLS OF ST.MARIE” FROM THE SAME PERIOD ARE TAKIN FROM THE ONLY SURVIVING ACETATE AND PAINSTAKINGLY REMASTERED AT KSL. ADDED UP IS AN EARLIER 45 BY THE RIS-KAYS FEATURING SYNDICATE FRONT MAN BILL RASH. AN IN-DEPTH INSERT WRITTEN BY UGLY THINGS' MIKE STAX WITH A CACHE OF PHOTOS COMPILES THE LEGACY OF A BAND, WHOSE 45S ARE AMONG THE TOP WANTED ITEMS IN THEIR GENRE, MAKING THIS RELEASE THE ULTIMATE SYNDICATE COLLECTION AND AN UNFORGETTABLE GARAGE PUNK ADVENTURE) FEATURES 1-–Syndicate, The - My Baby's Barefoot 2-–Syndicate, The - Love Will Take Us Away 3-–Syndicate, The - The Egyptian Thing 4-–Syndicate, The - She Haunts You 5-–Syndicate, The - I'm In A Bad Way 6-–Syndicate, The - It's Simple 7-–Syndicate, The - Getting Closer 8-–Syndicate, The - Hills Of San Marie 9-–Syndicate, The – Salt Crackers 10-–Syndicate, The – Topless (Bathing Suits)
