"Highs in the Mid-Sixties, Volume 7" (subtitled The Northwest) is a compilation album in the Highs in the Mid-Sixties series, featuring recordings that were released in Washington and Oregon. "Highs in the Mid-Sixties, Volume 14" and "Highs in the Mid-Sixties, Volume 16" are later volumes in the series that feature bands from these states.

Release Data

This album was released in 1984 as an LP by AIP Records (as #AIP-10012).

Notes on the Tracks

The Northwest is "Louie Louie" country, and three different versions are included here, including a cover of a follow-up song by Paul Revere and the Raiders. The Wilde Knights are well known for the widely reissued "Beaver Patrol" (featured on "Pebbles, Volume 1" and "Essential Pebbles, Volume 1", among others); this song is from their follow-up single. However, these Squires are not the same band as the legendary group, the Squires that were featured on the "Pebbles, Volume 1" and "Pebbles, Volume 2" LP's.
