Since 1978, this Bomp-affiliated label has been assembling compilations of punk, psych, beat, garage, and related obscurities. Some of these albums still exist only on vinyl, many are out of print. With a few exceptions, the label's output falls into one of these discrete series

Pebbles
Originally an overview of American garage rock, the series expanded in later volumes to include some foreign scenes. In the CD series, a new emphasis on regional scenes has been taken.

Planetary Pebbles
A series of collections of far-out sounds--literally! Surf and beat from behind the Iron Curtain, rareties from Latin America, and so on.

Essential Pebbles
A series of 2-CD overviews, one disc featuring highlights from previously-released Pebbles volumes (mainly vinyl) and the other with never-before-reissued classics. A great bargain for beginners and veteran collectors alike.

Highs in the Mid-Sixties
A secondary series to supplement the original Pebbles albums with a more regional approach. These tracks are integrated within the new CD releases, rendering this series superfluous; however, note that the original albums contain many tracks which were passed over in compiling the CDs. And, of course, many of the regions covered in this series have yet to see a Pebbles CD devoted to them.

English Freakbeat
Devoted to some of the more raw & rockin' UK nuggets that have been overlooked by England's more pop-obsessed compilers. An emphasis on punk and R&B but with some volumes leaning toward modbeat and art-pop.

Electric Sugarcube Flashbacks
This series targets the extreme psychedelic edge of British '60s esoterica.

All the great AIP albums and info will be back up on the site very soon. For now check out all the releases currently available HERE
