Garage Beat '66 Volume 1: Like What, Me Worry?! is the first installment in the Garage Beat '66 series of garage rock compilations issued by Sundazed Records, which is available exclusively on compact disc. It features well-researched liner notes, written by recognized garage rock authorities, which supply background information about each song and act, often including photographs of the bands. Like all of the entries in the series it is noted for good sound quality, as all of the tracks are mastered from the original studio master sources.

The set opens with "Like What, Me Worry," by 006. Also featured are two cuts by the Sparkles from Levelland, Texas: "No Friend of Mine" and "Hipsville 29 B.C. (I Need Help)." Fellow Lone Star State residents, Neal Ford and the Fanatics, of Houston perform "Same on You," replete with its highly idiosyncratic guitar solo. The Fe-Fi-Four Plus 2 provide the bad acid trip-saga, "I Wanna Come Back (From the World of LSD)." Matthew Moore Plus Four cover Buffy Sainte-Marie's oft-covered garage folk anthem "Codyne (She's Real)" and the Words of Luv do a rendition P.F. Sloans "I'd Have to Be Outta My Mind." The set also includes the unlikely presence of John Hammond Jr. covering Billy Boy Arnold's "I Wish You Would," with Bill Wyman on bass and Robbie Robertson on guitar, doing a different take of the number than the one which appears on his So Many Roads album.
