is a series of garage rock compilation albums issued by Sundazed Music.
[1] The series currently consists of seven CDs (Volumes 1–7), each of which is officially designated by its volume number, which appears in the upper left-hand corner of the front cover, and a corresponding "catch phrase" title, which appears as a subheading under the large Garage Beat '66 logo below.
[1][2] The Garage Beat '66 series attempts to represent the breadth and variety of the genre, including not only rawer hard-rocking numbers, but also songs displaying folk rock and psychedelic influence, as well as pop.
[2] The series is recognized for good sound quality: all of the song selections were mastered from the original studio source elements.
[1] All of the volumes follow the packaging format employed by other garage compilation series such as Pebbles.
