the areas that are documented in the "highs in the mid-sixties series" cover a large portion of the nation, particularly between the pacific coast and the mississippi river. however, the series is hardly comprehensive; among the notable omissions are new york, along with the rest of the northeast, plus san francisco (although the last album among the cds in the pebbles series, "pebbles, volume 11" covers northern california). areas that are particularly rich in excellent garage rock recordings are represented by several lps; for example, five of the albums are devoted to texas, which is probably the most widely anthologized state on compilation albums of this type of music. however, the only areas that are not represented on at least two of the albums are "highs in the mid-sixties, volume 4" (chicago) and "highs in the mid-sixties, volume 18" (colorado).
