GONN - Retrospective Albums and Reissues

Retrospective Albums and Reissues

The songs by GONN were slow to reach the collector community. Greg Shaw contacted Craig Moore in 1984 and offered the band an LP deal once he learned about a reel of unreleased songs that were recorded in the mid-1960s. The result was Gonn: Blackout of Gretely on his Voxx Records label, the ninth volume in the Rough Diamonds series that spotlights garage rock and psychedelic rock bands having more than just a couple of singles to their credit. Additionally, a remastered LP was released by Sundazed Records in 1998 as part of their Beat Rocket series.

Coincident with the release of their 1996 reunion album, a comprehensive CD of the band's 1960s recordings was released called Frenzology; although it is out of print. The album features a 28-page booklet containing considerably more GONN lore. Currently available is the compilation CD "GONN For Good - The Best Of GONN 1966-2009" which features tracks from the 1960s as well as the reunion album, live material, and an exclusive bonus track.

The band has also issued numerous 7" singles, including reissues of "Blackout of Gretely" in 1988 and 1994 that both sold out.
