I recently obtained copies of Pebbles Volumes 5, 6, and 10. These are interesting records, though are not nearly as good as the first three volumes of the series (anyone know where I can get copies of the first three volumes?). One thing I found from these albums is that volume 5 vindicates the EP "Psychedelic Unknowns - Vol. 3". I bought this blue vinyl 8-song EP about three years ago. The bands on it are truly unknown. So much so that I suspected that the songs were done by some psychedelic fans just to put on a record. Pebbles Vol. 5 contains a song on Unknowns, so I guess I can stop suspecting a fraud. In any event, "Psychedelic Unknowns - Vol. 3" is a great record. There are 8 songs and each side contains about 8 minutes of music. This is surprising, since it is a 7" record. The sound quality of the songs do not seem to suffer because of the size of the record (the song on the Pebbles album is of no better quality). So now we know about "Nuggets", "Pebbles", "Boulders", and "Psychedelic Unknowns". Any more 60's psychedelic/punk collections around? Any mail-order companies that have all of these available? David
