Highs in the Mid-Sixties, Volume 1

HIGHS IN THE MID-SIXTIES, VOLUME 1
 
 
Highs in the Mid-Sixties, Volume 1  (subtitled 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).  (More from Wikipedia)
 
 

The debut single by the Electric Prunes is another winner called “Ain’t it Hard”; I don’t have their version, but the original version of “Ain’t it Hard by the Gypsy Trips is on Highs in the Mid-Sixties, Volume 1 and also the Pebbles, Volume 9 CD.
