"Highs in the Mid-Sixties, Volume 3" (subtitled LA '67 / Mondo Hollywood) is a compilation album in the Highs in the Mid-Sixties series, featuring recordings that were released in Los Angeles. (Despite the subtitle, not all of these records were originally released in 1967). The subtitle is seemingly taken from "Mondo Cane", an influential 1962 documentary film.

"Highs in the Mid-Sixties, Volume 1", "Highs in the Mid-Sixties, Volume 2", and "Highs in the Mid-Sixties, Volume 20" also showcase music from Los Angeles; while two of the later CDs in the Pebbles series, "Pebbles, Volume 8" and "Pebbles, Volume 9" feature bands from throughout Southern California.

Release Data

This album was released in 1983 as an LP by AIP Records (as #AIP-10005).

Notes on the Tracks

The flip side of "Every Night" by the Human Expression, "Love at Psychedelic Velocity" is better known and appeared several years earlier on the "Pebbles, Volume 10" LP. The Grains of Sand (featured on the original Pebbles album), the Lyrics, and Limey & the Yanks also had tracks on "Highs in the Mid-Sixties, Volume 1". The Kim Fowley track is one of his many pseudo-documentary explorations of part of the L.A. scene. The song by the Flower Children, which complains about miniskirts, shows that nearly every possible topic has been covered in one pop song or another.
