Garage Beat '66 Volume 5: Readin' Your Will,"is the fifth installment in the Garage Beat 66 series of garage rock compilations issued by Sundazed Records, which is available exclusively on compact disc.[1][2] This volume was released on June 21, 2005 and consists of a mixture of raw up-tempo numbers as well as some psychedelic.[1] Like all of the entries in the series, which is noted for good sound quality, all of the tracks are mastered from the original studio master sources and contain well-researched liner notes written by knowledgeable authorities.[3] Volume 5 is mentioned by AllMusic as perhaps the best collection in the series.[1]
The set begins with "Story of My Life," performed by Taylor, Michigan's The Unrelated Segments, featuring slashing guitars and Ron Stults' characteristically passionate delivery on vocals.[4] The set also features "Face to Face" by The Zakary Thaks, from Corpus Christi, Texas.[1] The Thingies' "I'm Going Ahead" is one of the compilation's gentler numbers. "No More," by The Morning Dew from Topeka, Kansas is culled from an alternate take, which has a slightly brisker tempo than the officially-released version on the Fairyland Records single.[1] The Headstones perform "Bad Day Blues" and The Beefeaters play "Don't Hurt Me."[1] The Heart Beats, an all-female group does a rendition of "Little Latin Lupe Lu."[1] The set concludes with The Tidal Waves' "Action! (Speaks Louder Than Words)."[1]
