Not sure why no one has responded to this, but I'll take a stab.

Pepperisms is well worth buying if you're into obscure beatles induced 60's 
pop (and, of course, you should be).  

Some of the stiff is a little lightweight, to my ears, but on the whole I've 
returned to this comp. a lot more than most others I've bought recently.  If 
you've never heard the Blossom Toes, Los Shakers or We All Together (the 3 
bands I'm most familiar with) this is a good place to start, although their 
best songs aren't included. 

"You'd Better Cry" by Robin, Teddy & The Playboys is a personal favorite that 
sounds like a 1964 Beatles single overlaid with Taxman-esque acid guitar.  

The Blossom Toes track is "When The Alarm Clock Rings" from their first album 
"We Are Ever So Clean" which was recently reissued (and is amazing).
