...USA -Elektra Records -  7E 2006

SCARCE  1972 Original VINYL first pressing TWO LP set featuring a 27 song cast of classic sixties garage & psychedelic "nuggets" ... the first of such compilations ...widely copied, but never equaled!  

Comes with both original 1972 Elektra label inner sleeves as well,the record still has the shrikwrap but has been opened and played a few times..

Compiled by rock critic and future Patti Smith Group guitarist Lenny Kaye, 1972's Nuggets was the anthology responsible for reviving interest in mid-'60s American garage rock which by '72 had been cast off and forgotten. Now legendary, this first pressing 2-Lp set was intended as the ideal 'cream of the crop' of choice garage & psych classics in the 27-song selection. All important permutations of the mid-'60s garage style are present: primitive fuzz, garage-folk-rock, psychedelic dementia, protest rock, etc. Major heroes the Music Machine, the Seeds, the Shadows of Knight, the Electric Prunes, the Standells, the Sonics, the Chocolate Watch Band, and many others are all represented. If it's possible to give a five-star rating, it's tempting to do so here. No one could have possibly satisfied all rabid garage collectors withthis set of classic songs, but that's not really the point here; the object was to provide a wide-ranging box set of '60s garage rock that would entertain, represent the considerable span of garage styles,  —  presenting the songs in the best possible quality (in mono), whether from the master tapes or best existing copies. Still after, what, 36 years on, it is the best investment possible for those who thirst for more '60s garage rock with a track selection geared toward cream-of-the-crop quality and variety rather than narrow collector prejudices.
