PEBBLES

VA - Pebbles Vol. 01- 04 [1989 - 1990] (4 x CD's)

Pebbles is an extensive series of compilation albums in both LP  (28 albums) and CD (12 albums) formats that have been issued on several record labels, though mostly by AIP. Together with the companion Highs in the Mid-Sixties series (23 albums, This series is a companion to the Pebbles series of similar music; the title is technically preceded by "Pebbles Presents:"), the Pebbles series made available over 800 obscure, mostly American "Original Punk Rock" songs recorded in the mid-1960's, primarily known today as the garage rock and psychedelic rock genres, that were previously known only to a handful of collectors. 

Including the Highs in the Mid-Sixties series, Best of Pebbles series, Essential Pebbles series, Planetary Pebbles series, and two box sets, more than 60 compilation albums have been released using the Pebbles name. Following on the heels of the success of the Pebbles series, dozens of other series of garage rock compilation albums have been started, with numerous albums being released each year for several decades.

According to the AIP website, ESD Records (also known as East Side Digital) issued 4 volumes of CDs in the Pebbles series in 1989–1990. Though compiled by AIP, the tracks are almost completely different from those in the corresponding volumes of the LPs and CDs described previously (although a sizable number of the tracks on ESD's Pebbles, Volume 2 appear on both the earlier Pebbles, Volume 3 LP and the later CD reissue). Particularly on ESD's Pebbles, Volume 1, many of the tracks are either new to Pebbles or are buried on the higher-numbered volumes in the Pebbles series or Highs in the Mid-Sixties series. The albums had a limited run of only 1,000 each and are now difficult to locate; but, not surprisingly, the ESD and AIP CDs are often confused. One added bonus in the ESD CDs is that the excellent liner notes are written by Nigel Strange (who wrote liner notes for several of the BFD Records albums also).

This whole damn series is great! This is what rock is about!
