Highs in the Mid-Sixties, Volume 2 (1983)

Highs in the Mid-Sixties, Volume 1 (subtitled LA ’65 / Teenage Rebellion) is a compilation album of American garage rock and psychedelic rock recordings from the mid to late 1960’s. It was the first in a series that is nearly as long as the earlier Pebbles series of similar music – for which the Highs in the Mid-Sixties series is a companion series – although the Highs albums concentrate strictly on particular regions of the U.S. – in this case, recordings that were released in Los Angeles, California. Despite the subtitle, however, not all of these records were originally released in 1965.

Highs in the Mid-Sixties, Volume 2, Highs in the Mid-Sixties, Volume 3, and Highs in the Mid-Sixties, Volume 20 also showcase music from Los Angeles; while two of the later CD’s in the Pebbles series, Pebbles, Volume 8 and Pebbles, Volume 9 feature bands from throughout Southern California.

Notes on the Tracks

---

The Standells were one of the best of the mid-sixties L.A. bands; this is a rare early track that was previously unreleased at this time. The flip side of “Linda”, “I Never Loved Her” by the Starfires is one of the most valuable and sought after garage rock songs, which was featured on the Pebbles, Volume 8 LP and Pebbles, Volume 8 CD. The Lyrics‘ “So What!” is a featured song on Pebbles, Volume 2.

The Epics have managed yet another take on the eternal “Louie Louie“; “Louie Come Home” could be considered an answer song to “Louie, Go Home“, written and recorded by Paul Revere and the Raiders after Richard Berry declined to write a sequel to his massive hit, best known for the 1963 version by the Kingsmen.

Gypsy Trips are actually from Oklahoma but settled in L.A.; “Ain’t It Hard” was later covered by the Electric Prunes as their debut single. Songwriters Roger Tillison and Terrye Tillison were bandmembers in a short-lived Oklahoma-based psychedelic rock band called the Leathercoated Minds that released an album in 1967 called A Trip Down the Sunset Strip.
