Nuggets Discography
The first Nuggets release, compiled by Lenny Kaye, was a 27 track, double LP released in 1972. The subtitle of this release described the contents; Original Artyfacts From The First Psychedelic Era 1965-1968. This release kick-started the subsequent revival of interest in garage rock and garage punk groups of the mid to late 1960's.
In the 1980's Rhino released a series of 12 LPs (more than 150 tracks) covering the ground in greater detail. This was followed by a series of three CDs which collected 54 of the tracks from the LP series.
In 1998 Rhino released a 4 CD, 118 track, Nuggets box set with the same title as the original double LP. The first disc of this set comprised the tracks from the original release. A second 4 CD box set, compiling tracks from the 'British Empire & Beyond' (non-US tracks) was released in 2001. A number of single CDs were released during this period.
A third box set was released in 2005 collecting similar types of music from the years 1976 to 1996. A fourth box set followed in 2007 - 4 CD of Bay Area music from the second half of the 1960's.
