Trippy noise from the garage
chris meesey Food Czar | The Colony, TX United States | 08/18/2003
(4 out of 5 stars)

"A lot of you twenty-and thirty somethings out there probably think that psychedelic music was all swirling colors, flashing strobe lights, and intergalactic journeys of the mind. You would be wrong of course; all those sounds came later (mostly in the early seventies). Nope, early psychedelia was made with fuzzed-out guitars, Farfisa (or Vox) organ solos, and amps that were very small. In short, garage band music with a mindbending twist. (Think Very early Pink Floyd, such as "See Emily Play," rather than Dark Side of the Moon.) In his liner notes to the set, Greg Shaw does an outstanding job of linking these three-minute wonders to the punk and new wave movements of a decade later. Both proto-punk ("Dirty Water," "Pushin' Too Hard," and the Music Machine's wonderful "Talk, Talk"), and pre-new wave ("I Want Candy" and "The Shape of Things to Come") are well represented here. Also present are several selections from one-hit wonder soundalike bands, such as the Beatlesque Knickerbockers ("Lies"), the Byrd-like Leaves ("Hey, Joe", which was actually covered better by other artists), and, best of all, the Count Five, whose Yardbirds clone, "Psychotic Reaction" (complete with mini rave-up instrumental break) is not to be missed. One problem: Rhino Records have set the bar so high with this compilation, it's easy to start nitpicking. For instance, Love would be better represented with "My Little Red Book" than by the track offered here. And where are those all-time garage classics "Wild Thing," by the Troggs, and "Gloria" by Shadows of Knight (or by the Van-Morrison-led group Them)? These, however, are minor quibbles. Overall, Nuggets from Nuggets is good enough to make you want to race to your garage (or living room), clear out a space in the middle, and Start Dancing!!!"
One of life's true guilty pleasures.

"If you are between the ages of 45 and 70 and listened to any rock or top 40 radio stations in the 60s', you have simply got to have this cd. There are songs on here that just by looking at the titles you would swear you never heard of but when the song starts playing, amazingly you are able to sing along just like the last 35 years never happened.Of course, everone in this solar system is familiar with Louie Louie by the Kingsmen and Wolly Bully by Sam The Sham & The Pharaohs but do you remember Liar, Liar by the Castaways? No? You wanna bet? How about I Had Too Much To Dream Last Night by the Electric Prunes? Time Won't Let Me by The Outsiders?This cd is the creme de la creme of Rhino's 4 cd 130 song Garage Band collection and is more fun than scarfing down a half gallon of "Turtle Tracks". It also comes with a 23 page booklet packed full of pictures and wonderful information such as in the early 60s', something like 63 percent of American kids under the age of 20 were in a rock band of some kind, many were making records.These songs, though ones of a kind, were Monster Hits at the time and this is the cd that I have spent 2 years looking for. Thank you, Rhino."
Excellent

"This CD has all the garage rock and psychedlic tracks I've been looking for. Really great to listen to. Helped to complete my rock collection. AS great as this disc is, I wish I could afford the multi-disc set and I would buy that one. One disc of this music is not enough!"
