This album was released on
BFD Records , in 1979.AIP Records kept the LP in print for many years.AIP Records issued this volume in CD format in 1992. Although having a different cover, the two formats are largely the same album and even have similar catalogue numbers.Two
box set s of the first five volumes of thePebbles series have also been released, the "Pebbles Box " on LP (in 1987) and the "Trash Box " on CD (in 2004).Omitted Tracks on the CD
When
AIP Records issued the early volumes of CDs, they omitted some tracks from the corresponding LP for the stated reason that they were already widely available on other anthologies. In this case, the "bonus track" is omitted, along with "Soggy Cereal", byMike Condello . The other tracks on the LP are included on the CD, although the opening cut has a different song name and a slightly different band name, and the order of the songs is different.Notes on the Tracks
This album has among the most bizarre songs in the
psychedelic rock genre, such as "Horror Asparagus Stories" and "Voices Green and Purple" – both of which have been covered several times over the years – and a weird take on Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone " byRace Marbles . A cover ofKim Fowley 's "The Trip" by Godfrey is also included, even though Fowley's original recording is on "Pebbles, Volume 1 ".Track listing
