  • Very little fool's gold here.
This is a great compilation album. (I'm writing about the one-disc, 27-tune NUGGETS.) It is perfect for a long boring drive or a night in the garage with some loud speakers. My favorites are "I had too much to dream" (The Electric Prunes), "Don't look back" (The Remains), "You're gonna miss me" (13th Floor 'vators), "Psychotic reaction" (Count Five), "Baby please don't go" (Amboy Dukes) and "Sit down I think I love you" (Mojo Men), though nearly the whole disc is uniformly excellent. As others have noted, it's part early-psychedelic, part early-punk, part bubblegum, and part-whatever. The disc as a whole is a vivid example of how mid-sixties garage music at its best sounded innovative, independent -- though tapping into an already-existing "tradition" -- and a little dangerous or disreputable. If you grew up listening to Husker Du, Camper Van Beethoven, mINUTEMEN, and Meat Puppets, along with some old school (Beatles, Byrds, Television, and Big Star), you might like this disc a lot. Some details: "Too much to dream" is an explosive and melodic opening track, with lots of energy and backwards guitars. "Dirty water" has a catchy aggressive riff to match the unsettling lyrics, but it's a little too repetitive. "Night time" is great and its opening reminds me of "The Letter" by the Box Tops. "Lies" is a neat Beatles copy, sounding like somewhere between WITH THE BEATLES and HARD DAYS NIGHT; it's a catchy, riffy, hookfest, although it is a little more repetitive than the real Beatles generally were and also lacks contrast. "Respect" is awesome, full of strut and energy and passion; you just have to put Aretha Franklin out of your mind for two minutes. "Public execution": Dylan's great, but the world does not need Dylan imitators. "No Time" is a groovy soulful effort. "Oh yeah" is derivative and annoying. "Pushin' too hard" sounds like (is) really early punk: spare, aggressive, great. "Moulty" is vaguely charming but kind of laughable and does not bear consistent listening. "Don't look back" sounds like Mick Jagger backed by mINUTEMEN: awesome (I don't even care for Mick Jagger, but...) "Invitation" is a good transition to slow and brooding blues. "Liar, liar" (Castaways) has a decent psychedelic / garage band organ sound, but the melody and backing vocals are a little trite and sound dated. It's not bad but I'm not taken with it. "You're gonna miss me" is probably my favorite on the disc. Imagine John Cougar Mellencamp getting in a time machine, taking an acid-uppers cocktail, not being lame, and trying to record his SCARECROW album and you've got this. "Psychotic reaction" sounds like the freak-out Yardbirds but stands on its own as something that should be played really loud. "Hey Joe" is urgent, passionate, and full of power. If you can forget Hendrix for two minutes you will love this version. "Romeo and Juliet" is a neat little throwaway, making me think of Elvis Costello for some reason. "Sugar and Spice" sounds like Buddy Holly coming back from the dead and recording a song in a guest appearance on RUBBER SOUL. "Baby please don't go" is a heavy duty rocker, a blues tune with a guitar sound that I could mistake for Bob Mould. "Tobacco Road" is a little annoying (too cutesy?) but many will find it catchy. Things pick up again with "Let's talk about girls" and its insistent, manic beat, a blues song transformed into some pyschorock greatness. "Sit down I think I love you" is extremely poppy and impossible to resist. "Run, run, run" is too, sort of 80s new-wavish verses and 60s bubblegum chorus. "My world fell down" sounds like a PET SOUNDS throwaway with some Crowded House tendencies: it's very likeable. When "Open my eyes" begins it sounds like dreadful 70s rock-sludge but then turns into super pop. "Farmer John" strikes me as filler or containing virtues too inaudible for me to detect. "It's a-happening" just sounds too dated; while all of the songs here are collected because they fit a kind of (loose) classification, most of them are good enough to transcend their time and genre, but not this last one. Overall, this one-disc, 27-tune compilation has a lot to love in it. ... show more

  • A GEM of a Diamond in the Rough! R-O-C-K-S, YEAH!
This is the ULTIMATE collection of ROCKIN' Garage Band Classics! You get the full range of musical treats, from ersatz Beatle wannabe bands to folks doing covers, such as Michael & the Messengers covering the Reflections' 1964 "Romeo & Juliet." There is no lack of talent on this entire collection and certainly no lack of enthusiasm and energy. This collection is what 1960s Garage Band afficionados have been praying for! Listeners will cruise down Cool Memory Lane in a Cool 1965 Dodge Dart 270 Custom Sedan with the dial set to COOL 196.5 (1965 all the time) while enjoying this musical banquet. The list of treats is quite extensive. Although I didn't care for Sam the Sham & the Pharaohs 1965 hit, "Wooly Bully" or the Strangeloves' 1965 hit, "I Want Candy," I had to smile that the ultimate in Garage Band hits, the Kingsmen's 1963 magnum opus "Louie, Louie" was included. Seriously, I think "Louie, Louie" has become the Garage Band anthem and has been held as the symbol of garage band success for others, such as the much loved, much covered "G-L-O-R-I-A," which I am surprised is not on this collection; the Strawberry Alarm Clock's 1967 "Incense and Peppermint," and the Outsiders' 1966 gem, "Time Won't Let Me." The Kingsmen, whose 1963 smash, recorded in Oregon, helped identify the Pacific Northwestern United States as a musical mecca to be reckoned with. The Sonics of 1965 "Have Love, Will Travel" fame and Paul Revere and the Raiders were among those Pacific Pioneers. The 13th Floor Elevators, an Austin, Texas band have proved to be a major musical force. They have played the same venues with Janis Joplin and have demonstrated a unique musical flair. I absolutely LOVE the Rumors' "Hold ** Now," an EXCELLENT Garage Band piece that has been sadly overlooked by the public at large. This is such an excellent song that will make you want to dance. It is at the time of this review included in an exhibit at a local library featuring a Garage Band of the 1960s. This song is a party for the ears and will actually have you dancing! Many favorite Top 40 stand-bys have been included, such as "Time Won't Let Me," by the Outsiders and "Lies" by the Knickerbockers, two 1966 hits; "Dirty Water" by the Standells and a genuine gem, Music Explosion's 1967 smash, "Little Bit O' Soul." This collection is such a treat and I can't recommend it highly enough. Treat yourself to this collection. You will be so glad that you did. ... show more

  • Excellent Collection Of 60’s Garage Rock
I already had the U.S. release of “Nuggets:Original Artifacts...” and saw this E.U. Edition which differed slightly from the one I originally bought. Where the songs on the U.S. version are all in mono, these are in stereo. The tracklist is different too, although some of the songs (Electric Prunes, Standells) are on the U.S. version too. The songs are timeless including The Electric Prunes “I Had Too Much To Dream Last Night”, The Cryan Shames “Sugar And Spice”, The Nazz “Open My Eyes”, The Standells “Dirty Water”, The Blues Magoos “Tobacco Road” to name a few. There are obscure tracks by Michael And The Messengers “Romeo & Juliet”, The Magic Mushrooms “ It’s-A-Happening” and many more. I do wish they would have included the original “Stone Free” by Mount Rushmore but I have to give Rhino music credit for putting this amazing collection together. There was a Nuggets box set available back in the nineties which I should have bought and didn’t which was just an incredible collection of sixties garage rock groups. The packaging is nice, no it’s not in a jewel case but a mini gatefold album. Highly recommended. ... show more
