Liner Notes

Along with several photos of dancing teenage girls dressed in a variety of 1960’s fashions, the booklet for Pebbles, Volume 1 features an essay called “Teenage Lust“, the subject of many of the songs on this album. The author is given as Nigel Strange, editor of a fanzine called The Web of Sound, who also provided the liner notes on several of the early LP’s in the Pebbles series that were released by BFD Records.

Notes on the Tracks

---

Although Pebbles, Volume 1 was compiled by AIP Records, most of the tracks are different from those on the original Pebbles, Volume 1 LP or its reissue as the Pebbles, Volume 1 CD. Only the ubiquitous “Beaver Patrol” by the Wilde Knights is on all three albums; “It’s Your Time” was also included as a bonus track on the Pebbles, Volume 1 CD.

Many of the tracks are new to the Pebbles series or are included only on the higher-numbered volumes in the series (or the Highs in the Mid-Sixties series).

This CD features the rare original version of “Let’s Talk About Girls” by the Tongues of Truth, later recorded by the Chocolate Watch Band, with their version of the song included on the original double LP Nuggets: Original Artyfacts from the First Psychedelic Era, 1965–1968 (1972). There are also songs by two strong garage rock bands, the Hysterics and the Bold, that are well represented on other compilation albums, including others in the Pebbles series.

The Belles provide an ingenious takeoff on Van Morrison‘s “Gloria” with their song “Melvin“; similar all-female garage rock bands are featured in the Girls in the Garage series.
