Various: Highs In The Mid Sixties Vol. 11. - 12. - 13. - 14. - 15. - 16.

 

Highs in the Mid-Sixties were a series of compilation albums released in the mid 1980s on AIP Records developed by Greg Shaw. The series was spun off of the similar Pebbles series. Each volume focuses on a specific geographical region.
                           


The Highs in the Mid-Sixties series is a group of 23 compilation albums of garage rock and psychedelic

rock recordings that were issued by AIP Records in the mid-1980s. This series is a companion to the Pebbles series of similar music; the title is technically preceded by "Pebbles Presents:". The title sounds like it might have come from a weather report, although "Highs" intends to mean "the best" (and is also an apparent drug reference), while the recordings on these albums were originally released in the mid-1960s.
                              

Highs in the Mid-Sixties, Volume 11 (subtitled Texas) is a compilation album in the Highs in the Mid-

Sixties series, featuring recordings that were released in Texas. This is one of five volumes in the series that collects songs by Texas bands; the others are Highs in the Mid-Sixties, Volume 12, Highs in the Mid-Sixties, Volume 13, Highs in the Mid-Sixties, Volume 17, and Highs in the Mid-Sixties, Volume 23.
                         

I give you this rare collection (Of 23 Albums) in excellent sound quality (60's Original sound), but not at the highest MP3 or FLAC level, due to copyright reasons. If you really want it you can buy it!
