Talking about Wig Out! Freak Out!’ Two-Piers compiler Mark McQuillan says “The album was inspired by my many happy DJ nights promoting my club night Club Pod down in Brighton in the 1990s and my love of all things Sixties Freakbeat. I wanted to put as many great tracks as I could on one compilation to hopefully bring across the feeling sheer joy of spinning these awesome tracks in a club and seeing the place go off. This compilation isnt supposed to be a rare crate diggers album, but rather a gateway to give listeners a flavour of the scene and allow them to go off and discover new and brilliant hidden gems within the Freakbeat and Mod Psychedelia genre, and if Wig Out! Freak Out! does that job done!”

Aimed squarely at the Alternative & 60s Club Dancefloors Wig Out! Freak Out! Kicks off with the fuzz guitars of The Sonics Shot Down, The Standells epic Dirty Water, and lesser known gem ‘1-2-5 by The Haunted, before taking you down a road of pure riotous Freakbeat joy with tracks by the likes of The Birds Youre on My Mind’, The Wimple Winch ‘Save My Soul’ and The Remains Dont Look Back. Add the epic Freakbreat grooves of The Eyes Youre Too Much and The Open Mind Magic Potion an chuck in some brilliant covers by The Kinks, with their take on Louie Louie, Paul Reeve & The Raiders sublime version of Im Not Your Stepping Stone, Girl group The Starlets garage cover of You Dont Love Me, Gloria reworked by The Shadows of Knight, and The Action covering Land of 1000 Dances and making the track their own, and your feet cant help but move. The compilation contains lesser known gems such as The Satans Makin Deals, Count Five Double Decker Bus, The Poets Wooden Spoon and The Pirates Cuttin Out. It also takes a turn into Mod Psychedelic territory with the Hammond led grooves of The Quik Berts Apple Crumble, The Spencer Davis Group Im A Man and the glorious Indian Rope Man by Julie Drsicoll, Brian Auger and The Trinity, before ending on the instrumental blues psych rock of Davie Allan & The Arrows Blues Theme – a journey through the very best of Freakbeat and Mod Psychedelia at the peak of its powers 1964-1969.
