Various Artists: Nuggets

Original Artyfacts from the First Psychedelic Era, 1965-1968

[box set cover]

Compiled by rock critic and future Patti Smith Group guitarist Lenny Kaye, Nuggets, originally released in 1972 as a 27-track double album, was the anthology responsible for reviving interest in mid-1960s American garage / pre-punk rock. After that album fell out of print, Rhino did an extensive Nuggets series (twelve LPs, three CDs) that included much of the material from the original compilation and added a lot more. A four-CD, 118-song box set wit the same title was released by Rhino in 1998, intended as the ideal summation/expansion of the Nuggets concept. This box opens with the 27 tracks from the 1972 LP and includes Kaye's original liner notes.

The Band / Hawks are present on the 1966 track "Moulty" on the original Nuggets release, backing up the Barbarians' one-handed drummer and singer Victor Moulton. For more about this recording, see the page for the Barbarians' album Are You A Boy Or Are You A Girl.
