"The original bootleg 60s garage punk/psychedelic compilation was 1972’s Nuggets. 

A few years later, fanzine writer and all-round visionary Greg Shaw created the Pebbles series. The first volume came out on Mastercharge Records in 1978 in a limited edition of 500, the following volumes were on BFD. Sound quality and legitimacy were two issues that didn't worry Greg Shaw too much. Without access to master tapes Pebbles was compiled from original 45s or sometimes cassette tapes of ultra-rare tracks. Vinyl pressings of Pebbles are thin and noisy. Tracks might be at the wrong speed. As the series was unofficial a spurious address in Kookaburra, Australia was created in an attempt to either create mystery or to get around copyright laws. Despite the flaws in the Pebbles albums Greg Shaw deserves credit for creating a whole new collector-centred genre (the 'comp') and for inspiring countless others to compile their own series and one-offs. Pebbles was the first and many in the scene are still very fond of the brand." Australia is listed as the place of manufacture but who really knows.

If you are interested in these, I have listed Volumes 1 to 10 all in mint unplayed condition.
