b"  THE CHIMNEY SWEEPS b DEVIL GIRL  (LP 311) For the first time on wax, 
here's a dozen crude, unissued 1966-67 garage bashers from down under, all from 
Australia's answer to the Alarm Clocks, the legendary, raw, snarling Chimney 
Sweeps. These guys never boasted a release during their short "career" (they 
played maybe 15 gigs tops) and were totally unknown even amongst top Australian 
collectors until recently. The twelve sides include wild originals like Lies, 
Lies and the demented Cold Fish ("she ain't no gold fish!") plus three cool 
covers - their dragged-through-a-ditch take on the Rolling Stones' Grown Up Wrong 
must be heard to be believed! The big crunch is capped by a '66 stab at the 
title song by the Sweeps' earlier incarnation, the Cobwebs. Features a full band 
bio, whacked out group photo (the only one!) and a buzzin' dozen garage 
killers! 38 years ahead of their time! TRACK LISTING: LIES, LIES/DEVIL GIRL/COLD 
FISH/GROWN UP WRONG/UPSIDE DOWN WORLD/MAMA KEEP YOUR BIG MOUTH SHUT/HEY MYRTLE/I 
WISH YOU WOULD/STICKS AND STONES/GIVE YOUR LOVIN' TO ME/JAPANESE GARDEN/DEVIL 
GIRL '66 (The Cobwebs) LP $8
