AIP Records
AIP Records is a record label that was started by Greg Shaw's Bomp! Records in 1983 to continue the Pebbles series. AIP stands for "Archive International Productions". The first 10 volumes in the Pebbles series had been released by BFD Records of Kookaburra, Australia (most likely a fictitious label name to avoid copyright infringement lawsuits) in 1979–1980 and have been kept in print by AIP for many years. Including those in the companion Highs in the Mid-Sixties series – which concentrated on American regional music scenes – there are over 50 LPs covering some 800 obscure, mostly American "Original Punk Rock" songs recorded in the mid-1960s – primarily known today as the garage rock and psychedelic rock genres – that were previously known only to a handful of collectors. Two similar series of LPs featuring British music were released in the ensuing years, the English Freakbeat series and Electric Sugar Cube Flashbacks series. Although LPs are still available from ...

English Freakbeat Series
The ''English Freakbeat'' series is a group of five compilation albums, released in the late 1980s, that were issued by AIP Records. The LPs featured recordings that were released in the mid-1960s by English rock bands in the early punk, proto-punk, R&B, mod, and beat genres. The series served as a follow-up to the '' Pebbles, Volume 6'' LP, itself subtitled ''The Roots of Mod'', which was the only album in the ''Pebbles'' series that was devoted to English music. When the ''English Freakbeat'' series was reissued as CDs in the 1990s, the ''Pebbles, Volume 6'' LP was adapted into the ''English Freakbeat, Volume 6'' CD. Nature of the music The AIP Records website describes the albums in the ''English Freakbeat'' series as being " voted to some of the more raw & rockin' UK nuggets that have been overlooked by England's more pop-obsessed compilers, aving anemphasis on punk and R&B but with some volumes leaning toward mod-beat and art pop." Though disparaged as "failed mod ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The Seeds
The Seeds were an American psychedelic garage rock band formed in Los Angeles, California in 1965, best known for their highest charting single "Pushin' Too Hard". The band's classic line-up featured frontman Sky Saxon, guitarist Jan Savage (born Buck Jan Reeder), keyboardist Daryl Hooper and drummer Rick Andridge. In 1968, the band changed their name to ''Sky Saxon and the Seeds'', with Savage and Andridge departing the band. They went on to release a handful of additional singles, with Hooper also departing at some point before splitting up in circa 1972. In 1989, the original lineup of the band reformed for a handful of live dates in the US. In 2003, Saxon reformed the Seeds with original guitarist Jan Savage (who departed part way through a European tour the same year due to ill health). Releasing 2 further studio albums, the band continued to tour the US, UK and Europe up to Saxon's death in 2009. History Formation The Seeds were formed in 1965 following the dissolution ...

Sky Saxon
The sky is an unobstructed view upward from the surface of the Earth. It includes the atmosphere and outer space. It may also be considered a place between the ground and outer space, thus distinct from outer space. In the field of astronomy, the sky is also called the celestial sphere. This is an abstract sphere, concentric to the Earth, on which the Sun, Moon, planets, and stars appear to be drifting. The celestial sphere is conventionally divided into designated areas called constellations. Usually, the term ''sky'' informally refers to a perspective from the Earth's surface; however, the meaning and usage can vary. An observer on the surface of the Earth can see a small part of the sky, which resembles a dome (sometimes called the ''sky bowl'') appearing flatter during the day than at night. In some cases, such as in discussing the weather, the sky refers to only the lower, denser layers of the atmosphere. The daytime sky appears blue because air molecules scatter shor ...

Essential Pebbles Series
right ''The Essential Pebbles Collection'' is a series of compilation albums of obscure garage rock and psychedelic rock recordings that were originally released in the mid-1960s. As the name implies, the series was created by AIP Records as a distillation of the albums in the Pebbles series and the Highs in the Mid-Sixties series that had been released in earlier years. Only two more albums in the Pebbles series have been issued since the ''Essential Pebbles series'' was begun. Nature of the music The first volume selects tracks from the first 10 CDs in the Pebbles series plus ''Ear-Piercing Punk'', while the second volume collects recordings previously included on the LPs in the Pebbles series and Highs in the Mid-Sixties series that had not yet been reissued on CD. In the first two volumes, a second CD of "insanely rare bonus tracks" is provided in each volume. No information is provided about any of these recordings except that all but 2 are said to be previously un-r ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Pebbles, Volume 11 (CD)
''Pebbles'' is an extensive series of compilation albums in both LP and CD formats that have been issued on several record labels, though mostly by AIP. Together with the companion '' Highs in the Mid-Sixties series'', the ''Pebbles series'' made available over 800 obscure, mostly American "Original Punk Rock" songs recorded in the mid-1960s — primarily known today as the garage rock and psychedelic rock genres — that were previously known only to a handful of collectors. In 2007, the release of the '' Pebbles, Volume 11: Northern California'' CD marked the final album in the ''Pebbles series'' (curiously, '' Vol. 12'' had been issued in 1999). The following year, Bomp! marked the 30th anniversary of the original '' Pebbles'' album with a spartan, limited-edition, clear-vinyl reissue complete with the original pink cover insert. The ''Pebbles series'' played a significant role in the emergence of a "canon" of garage-rock music and artists in the late 1970s and ...

Garage Rock
Garage rock (sometimes called garage punk or 60s punk) is a raw and energetic style of rock and roll that flourished in the mid-1960s, most notably in the United States and Canada, and has experienced a series of subsequent revivals. The style is characterized by basic chord (music), chord structures played on electric guitars and other instruments, sometimes distorted through a distortion (music), fuzzbox, as well as often unsophisticated and occasionally aggressive lyrics and delivery. Its name derives from the perception that groups were often made up of young amateurs who rehearsed in the family Garage (residential), garage, although many were professional. In the US and Canada, surf rock—and later the Beatles and other beat music, beat groups of the British Invasion—motivated thousands of young people to form bands between 1963 and 1968. Hundreds of acts produced regional hits, and some had national hits, usually played on AM radio stations. With the advent of psyc ...

Greg Shaw
Greg Shaw (January 1949 – October 19, 2004) was an American writer, publisher, magazine editor, music historian and record executive. Biography Shaw was born in San Francisco, California. He began writing about rock and roll music as a young teenager. His first zines were Tolkien-related, but among them was also a mimeographed sheet called ''Mojo Navigator'' (full title, "''Mojo-Navigator Rock and Roll News''"). Founded in 1966 by David Harris, with Shaw's assistance, ''Mojo Navigator'' is said to have been an early inspiration for ''Rolling Stone'' magazine. In the 1970s Shaw moved to Los Angeles with wife and partner Suzy Shaw and started the fanzine called '' Who Put the Bomp'', popularly known as simply ''Bomp!'', or ''Bomp magazine''. Shaw's writing appeared in ''Bomp!'', of which he was editor and publisher, as well as in ''Creem'', ''Phonograph Record'' (where he again served as editor) and occasionally ''Rolling Stone''. He also wrote a book about Elton John while ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Highs In The Mid-Sixties Series
right The ''Highs in the Mid-Sixties'' series is a group of 23 compilation albums of garage rock and psychedelic rock recordings that were issued by AIP Records in the mid-1980s.Richie Unterberger, Highs in the Mid-Sixtiesat Allmusic This series is a companion to the ''Pebbles'' series of similar music; the title is technically preceded by "Pebbles Presents:". The title sounds like it might have come from a weather report, although "Highs" intends to mean "the best" (and is also an apparent drug reference), while the recordings on these albums were originally released in the mid-1960s. Nature of the music The individual albums in the ''Pebbles'' series include records from throughout the US, along with a few from Canada and other countries. Additionally, the '' Pebbles, Volume 6'' LP features British bands, while the recordings on ''The Continent Lashes Back'' sub-series within the Pebbles series are taken from continental Europe.
