Pebbles, Volume 10 is a compilation album among the LP’s in the Pebbles series. The music on this album has no relation to Pebbles, Volume 10 that was released on CD many years later. (More from Wikipedia)
One fine day around 30 years ago, I came upon a copy of the 1980 comeback album by the Ugly Ducklings, Off the Wall. This was the first time that I had found a full album by one of the bands that was introduced to me by the Pebbles Series. I wasn’t sure that it was the same band until I checked my copy of the Pebbles, Volume 10 LP – one of the very first Pebbles albums that I acquired – and found a veiled reference to the album in the liner notes.

From my perspective, I found out almost immediately that Greg Shaw and I have the same basic taste in music, and that is why I continue to come to the well decades after I first encountered his records with the Pebbles, Volume 9 and Pebbles, Volume 10 LP’s.

The Human Expression is another amazing psychedelic rock band; they are well known for “Love at Psychedelic Velocity” that was included on Pebbles, Volume 10, one of the first two Pebbles LP’s that I bought.

Two CD’s featuring the Human Expression and also solo recordings by Jim Quarles have been released by Cicadelic Records, Love at Psychedelic Velocity (1994) and The Human Expression & Other Psychedelic Groups (2000). The first CD is named after their best known song, “Love at Psychedelic Velocity” (actually more of a garage rock song that has remarkable changes in tempo), which is included on the Pebbles, Volume 10 LP and also the first Nuggets Box Set. “Optical Sound” – whose title likely refers to synesthesia, when the human senses are sometimes scrambled during an LSD trip – actually appears on more than twice as many compilation albums.
