Notes on the Tracks

---

Though the album specifies that all the recordings were produced outside North America and the U.K., the Rokes, the Shamrocks, and the Scorpions were originally British outfits that moved abroad across continental Europe. Despite the geographically wide array of the material, most of the groups were heavily influenced by bands of the British Invasion.

Musical highlights include the Shamrocks‘ R&B single, “Midnight Train“, which was not included on their cult classic album. A unique French cover version of John Mayall‘s “I’m Your Witchdoctor“, retitled “Curieux Docteur“, is performed by Noel Deschamps. Additionally, Sir Henry and His Butlers‘ “Pretty Style” exhibits psychedelic pop and exotic sitar instrumentals.^[2][3]

Pebbles, Volume 12 was the first reissue for nearly all of its contents. Although some of the songs are covered by other artists to an extent that they are more common than others, the album also marks the most commercially accessible release of the material in the U.S. and the U.K.^[1]
