Going a step further with collectable / rare ones... from 1963 come The Squires which featured a lad name Neil Young. Cool instrumental that matched others from the period.

One of the COOOLEST girl garage 45s EVER... came out of Michigan on the hip HIDEOUT label. This one had me searchin' for awhile right after I first heard it. Featuring a young Suzi Quatro plus her two sisters. The Pleasure Seekers 45rpm is a rare one that brings big $$ in the collector's circles. Crank it and grab "an ice cold bottle of Stroh's" !!!

Here's an early effort (demo actually) by Syd Barrett and band mates recorded in 1965. This pre-dates them as Pink Floyd and was never released until recently.
