Album Notes

Initially gaining a modicum of fame in their home state of New York with the east coast surf/rock group The Dolphins, Roy and Tor Pinney eventually relocated to Texas and (both separately and together) found much greater success with The Chains, whose version of “I Ain’t Gonna Eat Out My Heart Anymore” was a regional smash. Referred to as “The Beatles of El Paso,” The Chains recorded four singles – all examples of 1960’s garage rock at its finest. This first ever compilation of the Pinney brothers’ ‘60’s music includes all of the 45s released by The Dolphins and The Chains as well as many never-before-heard and previously unreleased demos and acetates – along with additional bonus tracks that represent the earliest musical highlights of two very talented brothers.

Features:

16-page color booklet with detailed band history by Tor Pinney
20 songs - 10 never before issued!

This is a great cd it brought me back when i lived in el paso and went to all the dances at Northgate and Catherdral  amd MC Canyon I went to Burges High and I was able to meet all kinds of girls from other schools. This was the best time of my life. I used to dance the night away to the great music of the CHAINS.No matter were they were playing I always found a way to get there I hitched and walked home from many a dance.Thanks for bringing back the memories of the 60"s
