Rubble Series

RUBBLE SERIES

Rubble is a 20-volume collection of compilation albums of mostly late-1960’s British psychedelic rock compiled by Bam-Caruso Records, St Albans, Herts, England by Phil Lloyd-Smee. Rubble is one of the first series of compilation albums of psychedelic rock, freakbeat, rhythm and blues, garage rock, and beat music of the mid to late 1960’s in the United Kingdom. Most of the bands on these albums were not commercially successful, such as the Glass Menagerie, The Onyx, Wonderland, and Wild Silk. However, the albums also include a few better-known bands, such as Tomorrow, The Poets, The Pretty Things, The Spencer Davis Group, and The Crazy World of Arthur Brown. (More from Wikipedia)

I must say that the description given in the email from my buddies at Bomp! was pretty irresistible, it includes: “File this music [The Skywalkers] under obscure UK Rubble sounds [a Pebbles-like series of albums concentrating on obscure British beat bands] and the special downer garage psych bands that produced all these scary atmospheric nuggets that fill countless compilations.”
