 Un fourre-tout de bon stock. May 30, 2007
Le titre peut etre trompeur car ce coffret ne renferme pas uniquement du psychedelique, il est important de tenir compte du "era" dans le titre. En effet, ce coffret presente la musique d'une epoque 1965-68 mais ne se limite pas qu'au psychedelique. On y puise dans le rock de garage, le frat-rock et le psychedelique confondus. C'est a la fois la force et la faiblesse de ce coffret qui devient par le fait meme un excellent survol de bijoux issus de cette epoque mais ce n'est pas le coffret a faire jouer pour un bon buzz lysergique ou psylocibien (d'ou le 4 etoiles)... C'est plutot un gros "teaser". J'ai de la difficulte aussi avec le "first" parce qu'il est clair que le psychedelisme existe depuis des milliers d'annees bien que l'appellation n'existait pas encore... Bref, un peu pretentieux mais excellent, et un moyen d'obtenir des titres de vieux psychedelique autrement difficiles a denicher... La presentation du coffret est aussi magnifique, avec des pochettes aux couleurs flamboyantes et un livret d'infos complet et bien fait. Pour du vrai psychedelique, se tourner vers le coffret Acid drops, Spacedust and Flying Saucers, les compilations Beyond the calico wall, Psychedelic Experience volume 1&2, Pebbles vol.3, Electric Sugarcube Flasbacks, Rubbles (toutes) et Chocolate soup for diabetics (toutes). Il y en a d'autres excellentes mais celles-ci sont relativement faciles a trouver et vous injecterons plein de couleurs (des plus obscures et indefinissables aux plus fluorescentes) dans les oreilles!
 Hearing this was a revelation! January 12, 2008
There have been many classic albums that I would have loved to have listened to on their release but was too young: Led Zeppelin iv, Sgt Pepper, Dark Side of the Moon (you get the idea). However, I can imagine what that may have been like when I took a punt on this box set after seeing a great review in a British music magazine. Having not really heard music from this genre/era before it was an absolute revelation to me and took me to a new level in my appreciation of rock and pop. As a teenager in the late 70s in Britain I grew up with the punk ethos of the Pistols, Clash, Damned, Buzzcocks, X-Ray Spex etc... and found a similar vibe in the music on this box set. As with the other Nuggets compliations you get a real impression that this has been lovingly and painstakingly put together by people who really know the music. So as you can guess I cannot recommend this too highly. If you don't know this stuff you're in for a treat, it'll be a thoroughly welcome addition both to your collection and your musical knowledge.
a great selection of 60's garage rock January 27, 2008
This box set is a must for 60's garage rockers. The sections represent the era well. They are also the original recordings. a delight to have in a collection of garage rock.
I'd give it 6 STARS (if possible) February 8, 2008
The Sonics, The Standells, The 13th Floor Elevators, etc... -Long before the modern "The" garage rock revival (think White Stripes, Black Keys, Strokes, Hives, & their ilk), these bands rocked rowdy American youths. This collection is essential! The companion booklet was a fascinating read. I know proudly claim The Choir, The Outsiders, & The Human Beinz as fellow Buckeye staters. Think of it as the beginning of a long, strange archeological dig. Hear The Premiers' "Farmer John" today & find yourself searching out the out-of-print 45rpm tomorrow. $40 for (4) discs? Yes, please!
Lot's of great nuggets! July 28, 2008
Plenty of great songs. Some I've never heard before. A few I don't want to hear again! Well worth the investment!
