PEBBLES - Vol 05 (RARE 60s GARAGE PSYCH) Comp LP

This is arguably the best volume in the series. Top notch and consistent all through (but whaddup with Magi?).It is packed with classics and genre-definers and even if I have heard this a thousand times before it still manages to put a smile on my face. If you are new to sixties garage, then this is an excellent place to start. It is one of maybe 5 of the  most important comps - it is canon and an inspiration for other canonical albums. SIXTIES GARAGE PUNK REVIEW

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