Various – Nuggets: Original Artyfacts From The First Psychedelic Era 1965-1968

Various – Nuggets: Original Artyfacts From The First Psychedelic Era 1965-1968

The compilation that invented the concept of the compilation. First assembled in 1972 by guitarist and rock historian Lenny Kaye, Nuggets rescued 27 essential one-hit wonders, garage rock obscurities, and proto-punk gems from the years 1965–1968 — a period of raw, fuzzed-out brilliance that the music industry had largely forgotten. From the Electric Prunes' "I Had Too Much To Dream (Last Night)" to the 13th Floor Elevators' "You're Gonna Miss Me," this is the sound of American youth plugging in and turning up before anyone told them the rules. This 2021 Elektra/Rhino double LP reissue on 140g vinyl is an essential addition to any serious record collection.
