Required Etiquette
Big Beat returns to the Great Northwest to anthologize the legendary Etiquette label, founded and run by those architects of Northwest rock 'n' roll, the Wailers. This 24 track compilation focuses on the NW garage bands that the Wailers signed - they produced and released masters on some of the finest combos to emerge from that hallowed region. This documents the label's output from 1964-66, and most of it has never been reissued in any form. The most famous group that appeared upon Etiquette was the Sonics, who are now more popular and influential than ever. Also features the Galaxies, Bootmen, Rooks, Paul Bearer, Rockin' Robin Roberts, Ron Davies, Mayalta Page and others, as well as cuts drawn from the labels' Riverton subsidiary.
