On Electra 7E 2006, printed in the USA 1972. Offered at low start without reserve.
Nuggets: Original Artyfacts From the First Psychedelic Era, 1965-1968 was chosen as the 196th greatest album of all time by the editors of Rolling Stone magazine in Dec. 2003. Compiled and annotated by critic and future Patti Smith Group guitarist Lenny Kaye, the original Nuggets -- a twenty-seven-track double LP released by Elektra in 1972 -- was the first great reissue anthology of the modern rock era and the first serious treatment of a mutant strain of 45 rpm fun all but buried by rock's rush to maturity in the late Sixties.
‘The subtitle of Nuggets is "Original Artyfacts From the First Psychedelic Era: 1965-1968." The two-record set includes 27 groups and songs that have been locked up in our memory cells for years aching to be free once again. This album is the great emancipator. It documents the soundtrack to that portion of our lives when we were making the transition from straight to hip, innocent to experienced, AM to FM, whatever.
Sure, Dylan, the Beatles, et al, are monuments to the cultural revolution, but what about the forgotten landmarks that led us to those albums? Well, a lot of them have been gathered on this album. Some you'll remember and love. Some you'll wonder how you missed. But the point is that a record company has performed an admirable consumer service. Putting these gems into a single package required great energy, perseverance, research and inconvenience. This is not your run-of-the-mill oldies package.
What more can I say? Thrill again to those sounds of yesteryear? Nonsense. This is simply a collection of wonderful music by people who made a singularly impressive contribution to a historically significant period and then moved on to other things or just faded from view.’
- Peter Fornatale, Words & Music, 1/73.
