 The name "Pebbles" is a derivative of the name of the seminal album of similar music; since in almost all cases, the recordings compiled on these albums were lesser known regional hits or releases with little or no national exposure.By contrast, several of the bands presented on the original "Nuggets" compilation had one or more national hit songs, such as the Seeds, Blues Magoos, Electric Prunes, the Standells, Count Five and others.As additional albums were released under both of these names over the years, "Nuggets" albums tended to feature more familiar bands, while "Pebbles" albums usually unearthed virtually unknown recording artists or previously unreleased tracks by better known bands.
