NUGGETS-ORIGINAL ARTYFACTS FROM THE FIRST PSYCHEDELIC ERA (4 CD BOX SET): The Patti Smith Group's Lenny Kaye coined the phrase 'NUGGETS' for down 'n dirty lo-fi garage/psychedelic ditties recorded in the late sixties by one-chord wonders with wonderfully preposterous names like Strawberry Alarm Clock, the 13th Floor Elevators, and the Electric Prunes.Generally, the music on Nuggets is less obscure and unrefined than that on other garage rock series, such as Back from the Grave or Pebbles. Although most of the music was recorded by US groups, there are some exceptions, such as The Troggs (English) and The Easybeats (Australian). The series focuses primarily on relatively obscure garage and psychedelic rock songs from the 1960s, but with some hits and pop-oriented songs. While many of the songs on the 1980s series' fifteen albums appeared on the original Nuggets double LP, others were new to the series and some eventually wound up on Rhino's 1998 4-cd box set. The music on Rhino Records' 1984-1989 Nuggets series is similar to that on Kaye's original compilation.
