The one I 'preciate most is probably Pebbles Vol 3 - The Acid Gallery. I think I picked this up after I got linked to an early '80s Copey article where he namedropped Vol 3 and Vol 5 of the Pebbles series ( here you go).
From said article:
"'Nuggets' was and still is the basic introduction. It gave us groups that were then so obscure but now, to a mass of people, are favourite listening. It introduced us to The Seeds, Chocolate Watchband, Elevators, Remains, Standells, Electric Prunes and so many others who had classic but unknown songs released. By now we know that had also recorded classic LP's.
But during the '70's, these LP's were sold next to garbage like Strawberry Alarm Clock, Josephus, Blue Cheer, Bubble Puppy, anything on International Artists. You had to listen to all the I.A. catalogue to find out that the only things necessary were the 13th Floor Elevators LP's."
I love how in 1983 he lumps Blue Cheer in with all the drippy paisley bands just like everyone else did, but in 2010, he proclaims their "Godlike Genius". Hindsight is a motherfucker.
