V/A - Pebbles Volume 1 LP

Label: BFD Records Year: 1979 Format: Vinyl LP This is the first post for this blog so please do not expect anything mind blowing. Speaking of mind blowing though the record I am going to briefly review for this post is nothing else than mind blowing. I bought this one not too long ago at a shop in Basel, Switzerland and it was worth every penny I spent on it. The Pebbles series concentrated in stark contrast to the better known Nuggets album on regional acts from the 1960's. 16 Original '60s Punk Rock Classics describes this record as accurately as possible and comes nothing short of the expectations the listener should have. Fact is that the Nuggets hardly scratched the surface of 60's Punk Rock and this LP is a great example of it. So should you like myself be someone that is still discovering lost hits from the vast archives of the 1960's than do yourself a favour by tracking down a copy of this album. And trust me my dear reader, all 16 songs on this album are absolute belter songs by bands such as the Litter, The Haunted, The Elastik Band, The Soup Greens and so on.... Highly recommended!
