Tracks list

This compilation of unreleased & rare tracks from the Twin Cities’ Kay
Bank Studios features 16 rip rollin’ cuts of some of the best surf and
garage rock Kay Bank had to offer. Features The Trashmen, The Vaqueros, and
more! Includes liner notes by John Blair!

Kay Bank Recordings in Minneapolis was certainly one of these historic studios.
It was named after the wife of owner Vernon Bank. Although he had been involved
in the recording business since the late 1940s, Bank’s recording studio
operation got underway in 1957 when he moved into a building that was large
enough to also establish a pressing plant. The studio provided a 3-track Ampex
recorder, a 12-input recording console, and a live echo chamber.

According to a 1958 article in the Minneapolis Star newspaper, Kay Bank was
pressing 60,000 records each week, and Vernon Bank claimed that his studio
provided the most complete facility of any other studio “between
Pennsylvania and California.” The sign above the building’s
entrance stated, “A Complete Recording Service From Master Tape to Pressed
Record.”

Sundazed Music recently acquired a large archive of the existing Kay Bank master
tapes. Some of the surf, and related, recordings in that archive are included in
this compilation, all recorded between June 1964 and August 1966- at a time when
the British Invasion was ravaging the sales charts.
