Highs in the Mid-Sixties were a series of compilation albums released in the mid 1980s on AIP Records developed by Greg Shaw. The series was spun off of the similar Pebbles series. Each volume focuses on a specific geographical region.

Highs in the Mid-Sixties, Volume 1: LA '65 / Teenage Rebellion

Highs in the Mid-Sixties, Volume 1: LA '65 / Teenage Rebellion is a compilation album of American garage rock and psychedelic rock recordings from the mid to late 1960s. It was the first in a series that is nearly as long as the earlier Pebbles series of similar music (for which the Highs in the Mid-Sixties series is a companion series), although the Highs albums concentrate strictly on particular regions of the US – in this case, recordings that were released in Los Angeles, California. (Despite the subtitle, however, not all of these records were originally released in 1965).

Highs in the Mid-Sixties, Volume 2, Highs in the Mid-Sixties, Volume 3, and Highs in the Mid-Sixties, Volume 20 also showcase music from Los Angeles; while two of the later CDs in the Pebbles series, Pebbles, Volume 8 and Pebbles, Volume 9 feature bands from throughout Southern California.

This album was released in 1983 as an LP by AIP Records (as #AIP-10003).

Notes on the tracks

The Standells were one of the best of the mid-sixties L.A. bands; this is a rare early track that was previously unreleased at this time. The flip side of "Linda" by the Starfires is one of the most valuable and sought after garage rock songs, "I Never Loved Her", which was featured on the Pebbles, Volume 8 LP and CD. The Epics have managed yet another take on the eternal "Louie Louie". Gypsy Trips are actually from Oklahoma but settled in L.A.; this song was later covered by the Electric Prunes. The Lyrics' "So What!" was a featured song on Pebbles, Volume 2.

Highs in the Mid-Sixties, Volume 2: LA '66 / Riot on Sunset Strip

Highs in the Mid-Sixties, Volume 2: LA '66 / Riot on Sunset Strip features recordings that were released in Los Angeles, California. Despite the subtitle, not all of these records were originally released in 1966. The subtitle is taken from Riot on Sunset Strip (a movie that was actually released in 1967); the film features live performances by two classic garage-rock bands, the Standells (featured on Highs in the Mid-Sixties, Volume 1) and the Chocolate Watchband.

Highs in the Mid-Sixties, Volume 1, Highs in the Mid-Sixties, Volume 3, and Highs in the Mid-Sixties, Volume 20 also showcase music from Los Angeles; while two of the later CDs in the Pebbles series, Pebbles, Volume 8 and Pebbles, Volume 9 feature bands from throughout Southern California.

This album was released in 1983 as an LP by AIP Records (as #AIP-10004).

Notes on the tracks

The Bees are the band that produced the classic psychedelic rock song, "Voices Green and Purple" (included on Pebbles, Volume 3), which is also the color scheme for this album's cover. Side 2 opens with what is probably the earliest recording of the early Monkees hit. The Sandals are best known for providing the score for the legendary surfing movie, the Endless Summer. The Satans appeared on Pebbles, Volume 2 with "Makin' Deals", a song that anticipated "Sympathy for the Devil". "Let Me In", by the Second Helping, featured Kenny Loggins on vocals in his first recording effort; Loggins wrote the song, one of three compositions released by the band as singles. The song is also found on Pebbles, Volume 9.

Highs in the Mid-Sixties, Volume 3: LA '67 / Mondo Hollywood

Highs in the Mid-Sixties, Volume 3: LA '67 / Mondo Hollywood is a compilation album in the Highs in the Mid-Sixties series, featuring recordings that were released in Los Angeles. (Despite the subtitle, not all of these records were originally released in 1967. Also, not all the bands are from Los Angeles; The Search and The Lyrics were from San Diego, California). The subtitle is seemingly taken from Mondo Cane, an influential 1962 documentary film.

Volume 1, Volume 2, and Volume 20 also showcase music from Los Angeles; while two of the later CDs in the Pebbles series, Pebbles, Volume 8 and Pebbles, Volume 9 feature bands from throughout Southern California.

This album was released in 1983 as an LP by AIP Records (as #AIP-10005).

Notes on the tracks

The flip side of "Every Night" by the Human Expression, "Love at Psychedelic Velocity", is better known and appeared several years earlier on the Pebbles, Volume 10 LP. The Grains of Sand (featured on the original Pebbles album), the Lyrics, and Limey & the Yanks also had tracks on Highs in the Mid-Sixties, Volume 1. The Kim Fowley track is one of his many pseudo-documentary explorations of part of the L.A. scene. The song by the Flower Children, which complains about miniskirts, shows that nearly every possible topic has been covered in one pop song or another.

Notes on the tracks

Three members of the Choir would form the Raspberries with Eric Carmen in the early 1970s. This track is the flip side of their first single; the classic A-side, "It's Cold Outside" can be found on Pebbles, Volume 2. Another version of "Stepping Stone" is included on Highs in the Mid-Sixties, Volume 2. These Squires and Outcasts are not the same bands that were included on Pebbles, Volume 1; according to some sources, the latter band is actually from Kentucky. Phil Keaggy, who was evidently a member of the Squires, was a founding member of Glass Harp and later became a renowned contemporary Christian recording artist. The Human Beingz changed their name to the Human Beinz when Capitol Records misspelled it on their 1967 hit "Nobody But Me". The label promised to correct the mistake on future releases, but the single's success precluded that possibility.

Notes on the tracks

The unique "Good Times" might be the garage rock song that is least inspired by the British Invasion; the song was written by Allen and Ray Schram about an apartment they were renting in Irving, Texas. It was just a joke, but a friend, who was a dancer on the Ron Chapman TV show Sump'N Else, arranged a meeting with Chapman at his house. He played the lacquer demo down to the line "go out for entertainment, I park behind the Twin" (a drive-in movie that played edited X-rated films in Grand Prairie, and stopped it. He called GPC records and they pressed 100 copies. The night it was to be played on the Jimmy Rabbit radio show, (a popular KLIF 1190 DJ show), Robert Kennedy was shot and killed in California and KLIF started playing somber classical music; "Good Times" missed its release date.

Notes on the tracks

These tracks include several covers, including two Rolling Stones songs ("Nanker Phelge" is a songwriting pseudonym that the band used for collaborative writing efforts on many of their early songs).

The Moonrakers were originally known as the Surfin' Classics and, like many 1960s garage rock bands, have a website and had a 2006 reunion concert. Guitarist Bob Webber of the Moonrakers founded Sugarloaf with Jerry Corbetta, who brought in drummer Robert MacVittie and rhythm guitarist Veeder Van Dorn III from this band as well.

The title of the psychedelic instrumental "Music to Smoke Bananas By" refers to the urban legend prevalent in the late 1960s that banana peel scrapings have an LSD-like effect if dried and then smoked like marijuana.

Notes on the tracks

One of Iggy Pop's first bands was the Iguanas (who are pictured on the cover); the band was formed in 1963 when he was still in high school, and he was the band's drummer. After he left this band and joined The Prime Movers, the other bandmembers began calling him "Iggy" due to his association with the Iguanas. This previously unreleased track comes from early demo tapes and is evidently the first song recorded where he was the songwriter. AIP Records has also released a series of compilation albums of unreleased Iggy Pop material named after this band, called the Iguana Chronicles.

"Be Careful With Your Car-Full" (track 4) by the Royal Shandels (Don Gladden, Ron Oswalt, Jeff White, Neil Williams and Carl Zenoni) was recorded in Detroit at Golden World for the National Safety Council back in the days that seat belts were a fairly new addition to cars, and a bit before most mandatory seat belt laws were introduced. The M.S.C. wanted to encourage their use, and this was played on national AM radio for about two years.

Notes on the tracks

A 10-inch vinyl album has recently been released of all of the songs by the Dovers, considered one of the finest garage rock bands. Both sides of the first single by the Human Expression are given on the Pebbles, Volume 10 LP and Highs in the Mid-Sixties, Volume 3; this song is the B-side from their second single. The Mugwumps are not the New York band called the Mugwumps that helped spawn the Mamas & the Papas and the Lovin' Spoonful.
