Pebbles, Volume 23 is a compilation album among the LP's in the Pebbles series. It is one of 10 albums in the sub-series The Continent Lashes Back and is sub-titled Holland, Part 2. Pebbles, Volume 15 and Pebbles, Volume 25 also feature Dutch bands. (There is apparently no intention to distinguish between The Netherlands and Holland in this series — technically, North Holland and South Holland are 2 of the 12 provinces in The Netherlands — in the subtitle of the former album, The Netherlands: 1965-1968.)
This album was released on LP by AIP Records in 1988 (as #AIP-10040) and was kept in print for many years.
The unusual name of the opening song is a double entendre, but only for Dutch listeners: "drollery" is very similar to the Dutch word for excrement. "Someday I'm Somebody" is an example of the sometimes clumsy titles and lyrics that these bands utilize in their English-language songs. The final cut by The Outsiders is from their legendary first album, one of the truly essential studio albums in all of rock music.
