Notes on the Tracks

---

“We Sell Soul” by the Spades was a regional hit by one of the first bands headed by Roky Erickson; he was one of the founding members of the legendary psychedelic rock band 13th Floor Elevators.

Houston‘s Neil Ford – also spelled Neal Ford – was in a succession of bands including the Ramadas. Their “Shame on You” was included on Essential Pebbles, Volume 2.

These Iguanas are not the same band that launched Iggy Pop‘s career, although a track by those Iguanas is included on Highs in the Mid-Sixties, Volume 19.

The track listed as “The Darkest Hour (Part 1)” is actually the instrumental B-side, Part 2.
