Yeah, i got it when it first came out too (wasn't it about £3.50 or something??). My friend bought a copy secondhand in the early 90's, and it set her back about £20, mad eh!!
Think those 'garage Goodies' comp's are done by the fella who does all the Pebbles one, y'know 'Trash Box' etc..

"Five Years Ahead of My Time" -The Third Bardo
"I'm A Living Sickness" - The Calico Wall
"I Had Too Much To Dream (Last Night)" - Electric Prunes
"Action Woman" - The Electras
"Reincarnation" -Kim Fowley
"She Lied" -The Rockin' Ramrods
"Things That She Says" -The In-Crowd
"Ben Franklin's Almanac" - The Cryan Shames
"Evil Hoodoo" - The Seeds
"The Wind Blows Your Hair" -The Seeds
"Love Conquers All" -The Evil I
"Suicidal Flowers" - The Crystal Chandelier
"Riot On Sunset Strip" - The Standells
"Feathered Fish" - The Sons of Adam

"Psycho" -The Sonics
"I Want My Woman" - The Emperors

"Subway: Smokey Pokey World"- The Tickle
"I Must Be Mad" -The Craig
But my personal all time fav has gotta be:
"You're Holding Me Down" - The Buzz
(ABSOLUTELY one of the most demented tracks ever recorded, ever. It's on "Searching In The Wilderness" and more recently, a Joe Meek comp whose name I forget at the moment)

It's all good in da hood!
A couple no one has mentioned yet:
"Psychedelic (That's Where It's At)" by The Monocles (also I think this is the same group that did that bizarro "Spider & The Fly" song, only under a different name -- and that one's boss too.)
"Nowhere Chick" by The Endless Pulse (which is on a comp called "Only In America" which has all sorts of great stuff -- like aforementioned "Spider & The Fly" and also a tune called "The Vacuum" which features a "vacuum cleaner solo"!)
And finally there are these boot-comps called "Wavy Gravy" (vol. 1 & 2) that are way excellent and highly recommended. Not a lot on there you've probably heard of, funky old soul tunes and psych and weird country ballads about LSD and serial killers . . . a couple from these that flash my mind include:
"Psycho" by Eddie Noack -- krazy kountry! You'll cry in your beer as he describes killing his dog with a hammer!
"Batman Rides Again" by the Incredible Burgundy Bullfrog (admit it, you are dying to hear it!)
Also lots of great movie radio ads between the tracks (The Astro Zombies, Graveyard Tramps, Frogs, etc.) . . .

Oh, and I thought of a few more killers:
"Train Kept-A-Rollin'" -Scotty McKay Quartet
"Loose Lip Sync Ship" -The Hogs
"Magic Potion" -The Open Mind
"15 Going On 20" Five By Five
"Stop It, Baby" -The Heard
"I Can Only Give You Everything" -The Little Boys Blue
"She Lied" -The Rockin' Ramrods
"I Can't Stand This Love, Goodbye" -The Others
"96 Tears" -? And The Mysterians
"La Do Da Do Da" -The Blue Things
"Sitting Here Standing" -The Chocolate Watchband
Oh, and I second "Talk Talk" by The Music Machine, too...I just played it to remind myself how truly brutal it is
(Most of the above are from the "Pebbles" series on vinyl -- the CD versions seem to add and drop tracks along the way)

Yeah disability or not it is the most cringe inducing track on the whole box set.
The box set itself is great with the book also, but really should have been a double CD set cos I feel thay were streching it a bit to fill up all 4. Would be solid classic listen then and you wouldn't have to rely on jogging the odd duff 'un.
Ain't too keen on the Mersy beat rip off stuff, much prefer my psych Acid Fried, which the Yanks were always best at.
Black out of greatly - Oh man!
Still buy it , itis worth it. Ignore me Im picky & disagreeable.

IMO The Electric Prunes - Get Me To The World On TIme, is even better. Even if just for the tremelo drone intro with the vocal chants of 'Higher, Higher'.
I could post on this thread all day. Right Im off to get my plot back.
