From some random review on amazon: "Volume 2 of the Green Crystal Ties series is a wildly erratic collection with a few duds, and some nearly first rate efforts. The best material includes all six tracks from three groups - The Bluethings, The Basement Wall, and The Penthouse 5. Along with Barry and the Remains, The Bluethings are considered one of the finest unknown mid 60's bands."

These bands are fairly well known and have had their material re-released (and some of them uploaded here), but I figure not everyone have heard them. If / when I have the time I'll up some more. This volume is mostly folkrock'ish garagerock. [/size]
