Trash Box - Differences With The Original Pebbles CDs

Differences With The Original Pebbles CDs

When AIP Records reissued the first five volumes in the Pebbles series on CD, a few tracks were omitted. While most of these tracks are also among those that are omitted from both the Pebbles Box and the Trash Box, there is a single exception: "Cracking Up" by the Wig was inadvertently left off the CD reissue of Pebbles, Volume 1 – although it is listed on the printed material for the CD – and is included on both of these box sets (on Disc One). Additionally, the two best omitted tracks from the Pebbles, Volume 3 LP are on the Trash Box but not on the Pebbles Box: "I'm Five Years Ahead of My Time" by the Third Bardo is a bonus track on Disc One, and "Voices Green and Purple" by the Bees is a bonus track on Disc Two.

For the most part, however, this section concentrates on the bonus tracks on the CDs as compared to the Trash Box. There are many more bonus tracks on the Trash Box than on the Pebbles CDs: Other than Pebbles, Volume 4 (which is completely omitted from both box sets), there are 19 bonus tracks on the individual Pebbles CDs that are not on the individual Pebbles LPs, as compared to 37 bonus tracks on the Trash Box that are not on the Pebbles Box. Although less than one-half of these 19 tracks are included on the Trash Box, most of those are also on the Pebbles Box. Regarding Pebbles, Volume 1, "Ain't No Friend of Mine" by the Sparkles is a bonus track on Disc Two; while the classic "Blackout of Gretely" by GONN is not included, the band's "Doin' Me In" is on Disc Four of both box sets. Among the bonus tracks on the Pebbles, Volume 2 CD, the second song by the Choir is a bonus track on Disc Four of the Trash Box; "She'll Lie" by Satan & D-Men is on Disc Four of both box sets; and "Crazy Things" by the Quid is on Disc Three of both box sets. Only one of the six bonus tracks on the Pebbles, Volume 3 CD is included in the Trash Box; "Rattle of Life" by Oshun is on Disc Three on both box sets. Finally, one of the Pebbles, Volume 5 CD bonus tracks, "Stop and Listen" by The Shag is on Disc One of both the Pebbles Box and the Trash Box.
