There’s not much real proof that The Quick ever existed, beyond their direct influence on The Dickies And ’80s Glam-Punk Bands like Redd Kross And Celebrity Skin. Though The Quick never toured outside of California, they did have a lot of curiously loyal and zealously passionate local fans, including members of The Stylistically Dissimilar Germs. As the Quick released just one album, this CD of largely previously unreleased material will be something of a godsend to their followers. Filled-to-overflowing with 77 minutes of music, it includes two album-length demo sessions, the first produced by Kim Fowley over the course of two days in 1976 for Mercury (which got them a deal with the label), the second by David Campbell (Beck’s father) over the course of six months in late 1977 and early 1978 for Elektra (which didn’t). Just three of the songs — “Pretty Please,” “Somewhere Over the Rainbow,” and “You Yeah You,” all from the Elektra demo sessions — have been previously released, and then only on a 10″ fan-club record that itself isn’t too easy to come by (though different versions of seven of the ten songs from the Mercury demos ended up on their Mondo Deco LP).
