there are two vinyl bootlegs called "messages from the underworld" (i
think) that did just that back in the 80s.
Good luck finding them. There was an accompanying zine with very
complete discography of all the 60s Canadian
garage rock. I'll have to look at home.
pacemaker records did a fine job with the Gaiety Records masters (The
Plague), reissuing two comps and several
stand-alone band reissues (Souls of Inspyration). They also did Ugly
Ducklings, etc....
Big problem, as always, is who actually owns what. I tried to do one
when i worked at Attic Records and back then (80s) everyone thought
their masters were invaluable and wanted all sorts of concessions and
money. I think it is a lot easier now, plus the technology to clean
up vinyl and tapes is way ahead of... uh.... getting the vinyl lp damp
in taping from it (to reduce noise), which we had to do on a Jack
Scott reissue way back in the day.
another problem is the singles by said bands are always better than
the eventual lps....
I am just today starting work on a re-issue of the legendary
Vancouver 2lp compilation called Live At The Grooveyard that came out
on Tom Northcott's New Syndrome label and featured all sorts of 60s
Vancouver garage & R&B acts. This will be on the Neptoon Records
label (they are a record store).
They just gave me a whack of vintage photos and posters to scan.... whew!!!
will keep you.... uh.... posted (as it were)
