"Most people were introduced to the strange psychedelic sound of The Monocles (later The Higher Elevation) thanks to the inclusion of the bizarre ""The Spider & The Fly"" and ""The Diamond Mine"" on the legendary 1979 compilation Pebbles Vol. 3 (the ""acid-punk"" volume). These youngsters from Colorado formed in 1964 and were famous for driving to gigs in a custom Cadillac hearse. Between 1965 and 1968, they released a bunch of singles for different labels: Chicory, Denco, Liberty... This retrospective collection includes the best of their 45 sides plus some tracks previously unreleased on vinyl. You'll find demented psychsploitation (""The Spider & The Fly,"" ""The Diamond Mine"") crude garage-psych (""Psychedelic (That's Where It's At),"" ""Odyssey""), sunshine-pop/jangly folk-rock (""Summer Skies,"" ""Here Comes Sunshine""), teen garage/frat-rock (""Boogie Man,"" ""You Don't Know""), pop-psych (""Crazy Bicycle""), and more. Includes insert with detailed liner notes and rare photos." A1. The Monocles - Psychedelic (That's Where It's At), A2. The Monocles - Boogie Man, A3. The Higher Elevation - Crazy Bicycle, A4.
