Nuggets Original Artyfacts From

Nuggets: Original Artyfacts From The First Psychedelic Era is one of the great artefacts of rock and roll. Probably the most revered compilation in music history; its release in 1972 helped inspire the countless musicians who went on to create punk rock, and has inspired innumerable artists since. To help celebrate the 40th birthday of Lenny Kaye’s enduring garage compilation, Warner Music Australia gathered up 18 garage-tinged Australian bands to lend a hand in re-imagining tracks from the seminal original to create Antipodean Interpolations Of The First Psychedelic Era.

The Choir, a mid-'60s band that eventually turned into the Raspberries, will release a previously unheard LP that was recorded at the end of the decade. The appropriately titled Artifact: The Unreleased Album will be issued on Feb. 16 and includes 10 songs that the group recorded in 1969.

Lenny Kaye started the mania for collecting overlooked garage punk classics with his superlative 1972 compilation Nuggets: Original Artyfacts from the First Psychedelic Era, and more than four decades later, garage rock collectors are still pouring out collections of rare vinyl singles documenting snarky teens bashing out rock & roll in their parents' basements or garages in the mid-'60s. One can't help but wonder if the well will ever run dry on such things, and Tim Warren, Crypt Records founder and the man behind the outstanding Back from the Grave series, seems to be suggesting that vintage garage material is becoming a dwindling resource in the title of 2015's Last of the Garage Punk Unknowns, Vols. 1-2.

Rock / Psychedelic Rock / Acid Rock / Freakbeat / Garage Rock / Mod

The second box in as many years of a truckload of obscure British psychedelia. Here are ten more CDs' worth of serious rarities by some bands that barely scratched the surface of the British freakbeat scene during rock's golden era, and a few who went on to other things. In all, there are 128 cuts here, all compiled and annotated by Phil Smee – of Perfumed Garden fame (also issued by Past And Present). While some of these acts, such as the Poets, the Human Instinct, Outer Limits, and Denny Laine left marks on the scene, as did mod bands such as les Fleur De Lys and the Buzz; many others came from the swamp and returned with only these few minutes of glory for all of their efforts.
