Rebel Kind:Girls with Guitars 3/ Various - Rebel Kind: Girls with Guitars 3 / Various

2014 release, the third in Ace Records' series of guitar-centric 1960s girl pop compilations. Half the tracks here are by genuine guitar wielding all-girl bands, including the Debutantes from Detroit, Los Angeles quartet the Girls, Goldie & the Gingerbreads from New York, Pinky Chicks from Japan, the Honeybeats from Italy and San Francisco's Ace of Cups. It might seem somewhat unlikely, but the Channels are the featured musicians on the instrumental 'Peruvian Wedding Song'. Beat combo Colette & the Bandits' riff-driven 'A Ladies' Man' is up there with the 45s Shel Talmy produced at the time on the Kinks and the Who. Talmy also produced Goldie & the Gingerbreads' 'Please, Please', another prime example of British beat, but one recorded by an American group.
