Here ya go, kids: Vagrants – I Can’t Make A Friend 1965 – 1968! This is Light In The Attic’s first release of 2011 and it’s ready to get in your face and scream “buy me a drink!“. We’ve been talking about this for some time (and working on it for even longer!) and the release date (January 25) is so close but we couldn’t resist announcing it.

This comp includes 12 slabs of groovy garage, propulsive psych, and primitive proto-punk remastered for CD and Vinyl (180 gram) and sporting deluxe packaging and extensive liner notes by Ugly Things’ Mike Stax. Get ready to make a new friend…

It’s finally here! Litterally, it’s been 10 years since Light In The Attic’s man-with-the-plan Matt Sullivan was working at Al Milman’s old record shop, Bedazzled Discs, in Seattle when Al spoke of the need for a Vagrants comp. Vagrants I Can’t Make A Friend 1965 – 1968 collects the band’s singles for various labels like Southern Sound, Vanguard, and ATCO, all on CD, LP (180-gram wax and gatefold “tip-on” sleeve), Digital and fully re-mastered. Rounding out this essential release is a collection of rare/unseen photos, liner notes by Mike Stax (Ugly Things), and an archive interview with Johnny Ramone speaking about the Vagrants’ influence on The Ramones.

Also, tune in tomorrow for an exclusive interview on the LITA blog with Al Milman (Alan Milman Sect) on the Vagrants and the NYC/LI sound in the late 60′s.
