PEBBLES 3; The Acid Gallery

Circa 1981, I found this record, used, in a bargain bin for a dollar. I had no idea what the heck it was. It changed my life. It took my brain to places it had never been before. It's stupid, it's absurdist, it's creepily, mysteriously, darkly psychedelic.

There is no other various artists / compilation album like it. There is NO OTHER album of any type like it.

Here is side one;

THE DIAMOND MINE by DAVE DIAMOND AND THE HIGHER ELEVATION

SUZY CREAMCHEESE by TEDDY & HIS PATCHES

SUICIDAL FLOWERS by CRYSTAL CHANDLIER

SWAMI by WILLIAM PENN V

I'M ALLERGIC TO FLOWERS by THE JEFFERSON HANDKERCHIEF

listed only as 'Bonus Track', actually PRANA by THE UNFOLDED. (Only about the first minute and a half is on the album.)

FLIGHT REACTION by THE CALICO WALL

LOOSE LIP SYNC SHIP by THE HOGS

THE REALITY OF (AIR) FRIED BORSK by THE DRIVING STUPID

PEBBLES 3; The Acid Gallery (Side 2)

CLICK HERE Oh GOD! TOUCH ME THERE!

If there's a more nutzoid compilation album I don't wanna hear it!

The insanity of Side 2;

SPIDER AND FLY by THE MONOCLES

LET'S TAKE A TRIP by GODFREY

LIKE A DRIBBLING FRAM by RACE MARBLES

Humor me CLICK HERE!

I was actually thrilled to find PEBBLES 3 available in a CD version in 1992. Back then, it wasn't a forgone conclusion that every last obscure little thing would one day become a CD release -- especially a bootleggish item like this. I was a little disappointed that some of my favorite tracks were missing, and some of these added tracks were a little too mind boggling, even for me. Missing in action; Prana by The Unfolding and Soggy Cereal by Mike Condello.

Here are the added tracks.

HORROR ASPARAGUS STORIES by THE DRIVING STUPID
