compilation album of Americangarage rock andpsychedelic rock recordings from the mid to late 1960s. It was the first in a series that is nearly as long as the earlierPebbles series of similar music (for which theHighs in the Mid-Sixties series is a companion series), although the "Highs" albums concentrate strictly on particular regions of the US – in this case, recordings that were released inLos Angeles ,California . (Despite the subtitle, however, not all of these records were originally released in 1965)."
Highs in the Mid-Sixties, Volume 2 ", "Highs in the Mid-Sixties, Volume 3 ", and "Highs in the Mid-Sixties, Volume 20 " also showcase music fromLos Angeles ; while two of the later CDs in thePebbles series , "Pebbles, Volume 8" and "Pebbles, Volume 9" feature bands from throughoutSouthern California .Release Data

The Standells were one of the best of the mid-sixties L.A. bands; this is a rare early track that was previously unreleased at this time. The flip side of "Linda" bythe Starfires is one of the most valuable and sought after garage rock songs, "I Never Loved Her", which was featured on the "Pebbles, Volume 8" LP and CD.The Epics have managed yet another take on the eternal "Louie Louie ".Gypsy Trips are actually fromOklahoma but settled in L.A.; this song was later covered bythe Electric Prunes .The Lyrics ' "So What!" was a featured song on "Pebbles, Volume 2 ".Track listing
