Release Data

This album was released circa 1988 as the final LP in the Pebbles series by AIP Records (as #AIP-10046) and was kept in print for many years. In the following year, ESD Records released the first of 4 CDs in the Pebbles series, and AIP Records released their own series of CDs beginning in 1992.

Notes on the Tracks

This version of "Suzie Q" was recorded after that of the Rolling Stones, but before Creedence Clearwater Revival released the song in 1968 (when it became their first hit song). Two other cover songs of venerable classics, "Route 66" and "Louie Louie" are also included on the album; the former song was the opening cut on the first album by the Rolling Stones. The last song on Side 1 is a novelty song about Alfred E. Neuman, the Mad Magazine mascot. A series of compilation albums of Swedish garage rock music called Who Will Buy these Wonderful Evils takes its name from the opening cut on this album.
