Various – Pebbles Volume 2

Is that version remastered?
Anyway, I like my vintage version with the tape sound on it :) An astounding piece of music history. If you like 60s rock or garage, This is for you!

All but perhaps two of the tracks on this LP that I've been able to compare to different sources runs 4-5% (about a semitone) fast. I'm guessing, especially given the not very detailed sound, that they were mastered off cassettes - in my experience cassette players vary by a few per cent in speed, which is fine until you play a cassette recorded on a machine that runs slow on one that runs at the correct speed, or faster. The LP of volume 1 is similar, though perhaps with more tracks at the correct speed; the CD version seems to have been corrected but I don't have the CD version of this one.

The follow-up of the groundbreaking Pebbels Vol.1 by Greg Shaw. The Liner notes by some (fictive) rock critic called "A. Seltzer" starts with: "So you bought this album, well y`know I don`t care cuz yer all MORONS anyway....". This record contains some well known Garage classics like "The Moving Sidewalks - 99th Floor", "The Lyrics - So What!", "The Zakary Thaks - Bad Girl", "Randy Alvey & The Green Fuzz - Green Fuzz", "The Little Boy Blues - I Can Only Give You Everything" & "The Choir - It`s Cold Outside". But actually there`s no bad tune on it, side B starts a little more relaxed, but ends with "The Litter - I`m A Man", which is one of the nastiest Garage Punkers ever!
