La ciudad californiana de Los Ángeles se convirtió durante la segunda mitad de la década de los sesenta en un centro de difusión de la denominada música de la Costa Oeste, en la que tienen cabida diferentes estilos musicales que nacieron en torno al rock, y apoyados por una potente industria generada por la actividad de estudios de grabación, sellos discográficos, prensa, emisoras de radio, televisión, cine y los escenarios adaptados a eventos musicales en directo de bandas y solistas.

La etapa entre 1965 y 1968 representa el punto álgido de rock de Los Angeles y alrededores, parte del cual queda registrado en los tres discos compactos de la caja Heroes & Villains - The Sound Of Los Angeles 1965-1968, del sello Grapefruit a su ves perteneciente a la discográfica Cherry Red.
