 Rating: - Nuggets: Original Artyfacts From the First Psychedelic Era 1965-1968What can I say about Volume One of the Nuggets compilation that hasn't already been said, this album after all is still one of the most important purchases I have ever made. The cheap price tag of this collection on its own is quite frankly daft, but with the array of quality songs from relatively unknown bands being quite literally immense on this compilation, as a starting point you can't really do much better. So in short, you have no excuse, you need to have this compilation in your collection now. Originally compiled and released in 1972 on the Sire Record label, by Elektra Records founder Jac Holzman with help from Lenny Kaye, Nuggets is a superb gateway to the 1960's Psychedelic and Garage scenes. I play ... Read More: Rating: - Great MusicIf you like the Kinks, Pretty things, Yardbirds, Them etc etc then this is worth a purchase. After the British Invasion thousand of kids in various parts of the US started the garage revolution from which this music comes from. Bands such as 13th floor elevators are legendary. It is brilliant and it makes you wish you were a teenager again and forming a band. Rating: - greatest vinyl various artists compilation everThe greatest vinyl various artists compilation ever. Especially delightful to non USA people as many had been hits in the States but eleswhere these were entirely fresh and unfamiliar. The sleeve notes alone were a joy. One niggle - the sound quality of the vinyl was not great and certainly not the best available for many of the tracks - I can't comment on the CD sound quality. Here are my approximate ratings for the tracks. 1. I Had Too Much To Dream (Last Night) - Electric Prunes ***** 2. Dirty Water - Standells **** 3. Night Time - Strangeloves ** 4. Lies - Knickerbockers *** Beatles Lennon Run For Your Life era pastiche and much better than Run For Your Life! 5. Respect - Vagrants **** my fave ... Read More: Rating:  - High energy nostalgiaDespite being a teenager in the 60's, I'd only actually heard one of the 27 tracks before (The Electric Prunes' 'I had too much to dream'). Despite that, it felt very much like coming home as these mostly long forgotten groups echo the sounds of the Beatles, John Lee Hooker, the Searchers, the Byrds, Dylan, a veiled undercurrent of blues, psychedelia, and the general west coast ambience. Oh yes, and the British band the Nashville Teens whose arrangement of 'Tobacco Road' is largely ripped off by the Blues Magoos (unless someone tells me the Teens ripped it off from someone else). Lenny Kaye really did the business with this great looking package and his excellent sleeve notes. While the music may not always be the greatest -most ... Read More: Rating: - Reissue of Lenny Kaye's classic compilation..Does `Nuggets' need an introduction? Possibly...This 1972 compilation selected by Lenny Kaye, music journalist and long-time member of the Patti Smith Group, had a great effect in the 1970s on the punk/post-punk acts that followed. It would be cited by such acts as Rocket from the Tombs/Pere Ubu, The Undertones, Julian Cope, Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds & even the Pet Shop Boys - this collection of one time hits from 1965 to 1968 takes in 27 tracks between the birth of garage rock and the development of the psychedelic scene. `Nuggets' would later be expanded into several box-set volumes, some of which, notably `Children of Nuggets', had lots of filler and some dubious selections. Rhino decide to reissue the original `Nuggets', never on ... Read More: |
