Pebbles Vol. IV

(I hope this is on-topic enough, but hey, the Bri, Bruce and Curt are singing background on one track!) -
I bought this gem of an LP in 1980 or therebouts. Superb surf compilation, with Dave Edmunds, and a lot of genuine surf troupes, AND Jan and Dean doing a Coca-Cola commercial.
Now: a couple of years ago I saw a CD titled 'Pebbles Vol. IV', but it had a different sleeve, and seemingly a truncated track listing. I can very well imagine that the original had things on it that were beyond legality (said commercial, for instance).
Is it worthwhile to go hunting for that CD? And, um, is my LP collectible?

Apparently, the tracks that are not on the CD version were taken off because they'd since been (re-)released elsewhere and were therefore not 'rare' enough anymore.

Brian's not on the Dave Edmunds track. Another BB myth.

It's a good record and like all vinyl boots fairly rare.

The CD uses an upgraded source for "London's a Lonely Town." The fidelity is much better, and the abrupt ending on the LP (caused by a skip in the acetate) is remedied.
The CD also includes several non-LP bonus tracks. Among them, "Big T" by the Reveres is a standout, with its Steve Douglas sax solo. I've seen at least one reference that Terry Melcher may have had some involvement with it, but I can't substantiate that.

Thanks. But I could just
swear
that it is Brian who sings: 'My Woodie's Outside'... who's that then?

The original BFD releases maybe... But the AIP re-issues can't be that rare... I still fairly often see Pebbles LPs in record shops...

Not Brian.
Bruce or Curt, probably.
For completeists, BFD stands for Big F****** Deal.

I have a BFD. It took me several years to find it in the early ninties, of course that was pre internet.

Same here. Time to unearth it after moving house and give it a spin.
