Pebbles is a compilation of US underground and garage single record releases from the mid- to late-1960s.[3] It had a limited original release in 1978 and a more general release in 1979 (where the album was identified simply as Pebbles).[4] It was followed by several subsequent Pebbles compilations and albums (nearly 100 in all). This album is nowadays known as Pebbles, Volume 1 and was originally issued in 1978 as Pebbles, Volume One: Artyfacts from the First Punk Era, an obvious riff on Nuggets: Original Artyfacts from the First Psychedelic Era, a similar, groundbreaking compilation from 1972.
