"Pebbles, Volume 5" is a compilation album in the Pebbles series that has been issued in both LP and CD formats.

Release Data

This album was released on BFD Records in 1980. AIP Records kept the LP in print for many years.

AIP Records issued this volume in CD format in 1992. Although having a somewhat different cover, the two formats are largely the same album and even have similar catalogue numbers.

Two box sets of the first five volumes of the Pebbles 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, all of the tracks on the LP are included on the CD and in the same order, although "You Need Love" shows a different band name. Thus, the CD has only 3 bonus tracks.

Notes on the Tracks

The names of garage rock bands range from obvious to ingenious, and The Fe-Fi-Four Plus 2 has one of the latter, managing to combine the "Fee! Fie! Foe! Fum!" cry from Jack and the Beanstalk with the name of a 1960's British pop band, Unit 4 Plus 2.
