Kim Fowley: One Man's Garbage/Another Man's Gold: Lost Treasures From The Vaults 1959-69 (Norton Records)

EVEN BEFORE KIM FOWLEY (born 1939, Hollywood, California) hosted a weekly four-hour music program on satellite radio, a lot of people already knew his name, at least. His name has been associated with so many records over the past 50 years (yes, fifty!), that most music fans are aware of one or two, if not many more, of the ones Fowley is responsible for.
