Zakary Thaks - Green Crystal Ties

The Zakary Thaks were an American garage band from Corpus Christi, Texas, formed in the mid 1960s.
The band developed out of the Marauders, a teen group which included Chris Gerniottis (vocals), Pete Stinson (guitar), and Rex Gregory (bass), and who then became the Riptides, adding lead guitarist John Lopez. By 1966, they had acquired a new drummer, Stan Moore, and had become the Zakary Thaks.

These guys were so great! One of the best to come out of Texas (and beyond)

I knew John "Chopper" Lopez for years and never knew he was in Zackary Thaks until he passed recently. Great, ground breaking band out of my home town! In my neighborhood even.

even a lifted from vinyl comp sounds better than sundazed lps n 45s with crap digital mastering n multiple overdubs,its called lying 2 vinyl lovers n disrespecting what the musicians intended us 2 hear on vinyl,u got some front saying ur reissues r true 2 the original release,which in truth r far superior than yr reissues,so keep it yr sony,s lap dog,every label that reissue digitally remastered lps n 45s r abusing musical history n pointlessly making vinyl a carbon copy of the lame cd version,
