Teenage Shutdown: You Better Get a Move On!, subtitled "Snarl & Stomp, Rave & Rant Teen Garage Hoot," is another fine collection of jangly pop and mid-'60s folk-punk. According to the CD booklet -- which features color photos and scans of the original single labels -- this collection dates from 1966 and 1967 and "serves up a solid batch of top-shelf Kinks-meets-Raiders-inspired oompf that flows like a mofo!" No argument there. The liner notes on this particular set are a bit skimpy compared with some of the others in this series. Things get off to a rollicking start with the single that provided the comp with its title, "You Better Get a Move On" by the Soul Inc., which was reportedly written by Niki Sullivan of the Crickets. The Spades (from Winter Park, FL) offer up a moody "I'm Alright." Swirling organ is more prominent on tracks by Yesterday's Children (from lower New York state) and the Missing Lynx (from Lawrenceburg, TN), who cover Paul Revere & the Raiders' "Louie Go Home." Unlike a lot of various-artists compilations, not all of the best tracks are front-loaded here; some of the better singles come midway or toward the end. These include the Rogues' heavy bass-propelled "Put You Down," the Vaqueros' fuzz-heavy "Growing Pains" (the drummer from this northern Minnesota-based band ended up being the last original member in the group's lineup, spanning from 1961-1967), and Houston, TX's the Dave Starkey V/Just Us' "Stand There." This group featured British singer Dave Starkey, who left the band with a dilemma when he left (a contest allowing fans to pick their new name resulted with Just Us). All in all, this is a solid collection, and like each of the others in this series, the track selection and sequencing by Warren are thoughtful and the sound quality is mostly superb, with minimal EQing. ~ Bryan Thomas
