Compiled by musician, collector, impresario Lenny Kaye. Some are hits, some should have been, and some are just plain weird, but I wouldn't have it any other way. The Nuggets Compilation is the first release to coin the term Punk Rock, in an official manner. None of these tunes are cut and paste Garage Rock, they go even Furthur, drenched in fuzzed out psychedelia. I was a little surprised that the Music Machine and The Sonics were left out. Otherwise this is a must have in every record collection, and has been since it came out in 1972. It has influenced countless musicians and collectors to dig deeper into the reaches of their minds to find more obscure 60's Garage tunes ....
