TROPICS 'As Time's Gone' LP (Spain, Guerssen, Catalogue #GUESS120) Brand new/unplayed copy of limited year 2013 Guerssen label LP edition/collection of rare singles, circa 1965-1969, of legendary Tampa, Florida Garage Rock band The Tropics. Tom Petty approved!

(NOTE: LIMITED VINYL EDITION!)  

Hailing from Florida, The Tropics were one of the finest '60s garage bands. Their memorable concerts are still remembered today by the lucky ones who saw them at the time. Between 1965 and 1969, they recorded some explosive and now legendary 45s which are prime examples of garage-rock, teen-beat, folk-rock and proto-psych sounds. Here you'll find most of those 45 sides along with some rare, previously-unreleased-on-vinyl tracks. Including the classic "As Time's Gone" (covered by The Fuzztones) and many more. Remastered sound in mono, insert with detailed liner-notes by Jeremy Cargill (Ugly Things) and rare photos.
