Pebbles, Volume 25

Pebbles, Volume 25 is a compilation album among the LP's in the Pebbles series. It is one of the 10 albums in the sub-series The Continent Lashes Back and is sub-titled Holland, Part 3. Pebbles, Volume 15 and Pebbles, Volume 23 also feature Dutch bands. (There is apparently no intention to distinguish between The Netherlands and Holland in this series — technically, North Holland and South Holland are 2 of the 12 provinces in The Netherlands — in the subtitle of the former album, The Netherlands: 1965-1968.)

Release data

This album was released in 1988 as an LP by AIP Records (somewhat out of order as #AIP-10042) and was kept in print for many years.

Notes on the tracks

This is the first appearance in the Pebbles series of perhaps the most famous of the Dutch bands, Golden Earring (known in their early career as the Golden Earrings), who have performing almost continuously since being founded in 1961. The band had two national hit songs in America, "Radar Love" and "Twilight Zone".
