The Essential Pebbles series – also known as the Essential Pebbles Collection series – is a series of compilation albums of underground garage rock and psychedelic rock recordings that were originally released in the mid-1960’s. As the name implies, the series was created by AIP Records as a distillation of the albums in the Pebbles series and the Highs in the Mid-Sixties series that had been released in earlier years. Only two more albums in the Pebbles series have been issued since the Essential Pebbles series was begun.

The first volume in the Essential Pebbles series selects tracks from the first 10 CD’s in the Pebbles series plus Ear-Piercing Punk, while the second volume collects recordings previously included on the LP’s in the Pebbles series, Highs in the Mid-Sixties series, and Rough Diamonds series that had not yet been reissued on CD. In the first two volumes, a second CD of “insanely rare bonus tracks” is provided in each volume. The third volume (both CD’s) features recordings from continental European bands that had previously been featured in The Continent Lashes Back series within the Pebbles series.

Each of the volumes in the Essential Pebbles series have as many tracks as typical box sets: 55 in each of the first two volumes, and 48 in the third volume.
