ROB SEZ: Boston-based Lyres have been dubbed the kings of garage rock by more than one knowledgeable music critic. If you dig the sound of the Seeds, the Sonics, ? and the Mysterians, etc., then Lyres are for you. These two shares feature excellent sound. The original stereo version of the Sunderland show had a very strict separation of vocals (left) and instruments (right) between channels. This was pretty hard for my brain & ears to handle, so I mixed the two tracks into glorious mono. I think it’s an improvement. It’s one of those slightly odd soundboard recordings in which you can barely hear the audience. The second share is a short set because the band was one of many playing that evening. Thanks to lucky for supplying the name of the venue for the first show.
