      VA - Pebbles Volume 6
      Tracks 1-17 originally released on BFD Records BFD-5023 in July 1979
      This CD issued on Archive International AIP CD-5023 in December 1994

      Subtitled "Chicago 1," this is the first of two Chicago area-related Pebbles CD comps. Drawn from various Pebbles Highs and other compilations. First time on CD for all songs.

      The first of a pair of Pebbles volumes devoted to the Windy City doesn't feature such noteworthy Chicago bands as the Shadows of Knight. Indeed, the Buckinghams -- who scored a hit with "Kind of a Drag" (not the song that's included) -- are the only famous band on this compilation. However, the album does feature some interesting minor-league bands, some of which were from Chicago and some of which just recorded there (e.g., the Indiana-based Group, Inc.). Selections include the Omens' "Searching" (later recorded by the Pandoras and the Gravedigger V) and Nobody's Children's "Girl, I Need You" (remade by the Third Booth as "I Need Love"), as well as remakes of songs by the Lemon Drops ("I Live in the Springtime"), the Kingsmen ("Long Green"), the Hollies ("I've Been Wrong"), Gene Vincent ("Say Ma, Ma"), and Elvis Presley (a demented version of "Jailhouse Rock"). This is not an essential collection but it should appeal to garage rock completists with a particular interest in this geographical region. Note that the song list printed on the CD cover doesn't match the actual order of songs on the CD itself: the Huns' "Winning Ticket" is the third song; "Come With Me" by the Boyz and "Run Around" by the Cavedwellers are not on the CD; and the final track is a radio station promo.

      The Boyz' awesome "Come With Me" and The Cavedwellers' "Run Around" are not included on this disc, even though they're on the track listing; "Come With Me" appears on 'Chicago, Vol. 2.'
