PSYCHEDELIC GARAGE ROCK

VA - Trash Box [2004] (5 x CD's)

The Trash Box is a 5-CD box set of mid-1960s garage rock and psychedelic rock recordings, primarily by American bands. This box set is similar to the earlier Pebbles Box (a 5-LP box set) and includes almost all of the same recordings in that box set (and in the same order), along with numerous bonus tracks at the end of each disc. Supposedly, the Trash Box collects the first five volumes of the CDs in the Pebbles series (i.e., those released by AIP Records, not to be confused with the 4 earlier CDs that were issued by ESD Records).  Overall, there are 109 tracks in the box set (excluding the introduction and ending cuts) as compared to 101 songs on the individual CDs and 72 tracks in the Pebbles Box. Although most of the recordings on the Trash Box were released at some point on one of the individual Pebbles albums, several of the songs have not appeared elsewhere in the Pebbles series. Inexplicably, one of these songs is the well-known hit "I Fought the Law (but the Law Won)" by the Bobby Fuller Four, which is also included in the Pebbles Box – in place of the much rarer "Wine Wine Wine" by Bobby Fuller that appears on Pebbles, Volume 2. (Wikipedia)

This collection isn't a lot of things! Firstly it ISN'T Pebbles, and the comprehensive notes explain exactly why it isn't Pebbles. It's a close relative of Pebbles - a first cousin rather than a brother though. It also isn't the 2004 ubik box set - it is the 2007 Hit Records box set. It is almost identical to the earlier release and very similar to the much earlier vinyl set of the same name. It isn't Pebbles volumes 1 to 5, although many of the tracks are from the Pebbles series. The compiler's notes explain how the tracks were chosen and why many favorites were left out (mainly better versions now on other compilations). It isn't a bootleg, although the tracks are taken directly from old vinyl singles without "official" sanction from the bands or the labels, so it falls into a rather grey area of legality.  So just what is it you may well ask! Well, it's a good value, well produced box set of late sixties, rather obscure, American Garage Psych, and is based on the Pebbles Series. It could be seen as an American companion to the British Rubble collection. It has been carefully remastered, according to the notes, using parts of an old radio studio! Whether or not it's the same masters as the 2004 version I have no idea. The sound quality is very variable as the tracks are dubbed directly from vinyl, and the remastering is to the compiler's personal taste. I have some of these tracks on old vinyl Pebbles albums and they sound quite different to these. As sound quality is a very subjective thing I'll just say that this CD set sounds mainly OK to me.
