Release notes

Pebbles, Volume 2 is a compilation album featuring American underground psychedelic and garage rock musical artists from the 1960s. It is the second installment of the Pebbles series and was released on BFD Records in 1979.

The opening number, “Makin’ Deals” by the Satans, is a mid-tempo rocker featuring a vocalist who snarled “Can you guess my name?!?” two years before Mick Jagger pranced through “Sympathy for the Devil.”

“99th Floor,” an organ-driven stomper recorded in 1967, features ZZ Top guitarist Billy Gibbons.  TODD KRISTAL

Three of the core members of The Choir would later form the Raspberries, with Eric Carmen as the lead vocalist; a second song by this band is included as a bonus track on the CD. Bobby Fuller would later have a national hit as the Bobby Fuller Four, with “I Fought the Law (but the Law Won)”. “Feathered Fish” was written by Arthur Lee, and the band The Sons of Adam included Michael Stuart, who went on to join Lee in Love. An earlier line-up also included Randy Holden, later of Blue Cheer. As on Pebbles, Volume 1, Pebbles, Volume 2 includes a curiosity featuring a well-known band: in this case, a genuine radio commercial with the Electric Prunes supplying a demonstration.

Fantastic collection that should appeal to those who want to delve deeper into the treasure chest of ’60s garage punk music.
