It was assembled by [[Lenny Kaye]], later lead guitarist for the [[Patti Smith]] Group, under the supervision of [[Jac Holzman]], founder of [[Elektra Records]]. Kaye initially conceived the project as series of approximately eight individual LP installments, each focusing on US geographical regions, but Elektra convinced him that one 2-disc LP would be a more commercially viable format.{{sfn|Shaw|1973|p=}} The resulting [[double album]] was released on [[vinyl record|LP]] by Elektra in 1972 with liner notes by Kaye that contained one of the first uses of the term "[[punk rock]]". It was reissued with a new [[gatefold|cover]] design by [[Sire Records]] in 1976. In the 1980s [[Rhino Records]] issued ''Nuggets'' in a [[Nuggets (series)|series of fifteen installments]], and in 1998 as a 4-cd box set. ==Influence and reissues== [[Jon Savage]], in his history of the UK [[punk rock]] scene, ''England's Dreaming'', cites ''Nuggets'' as a major influence on punk bands and includes it in his essential punk discography, alongside [[The Stooges|Iggy and the Stooges]]' ''[[Raw Power]]'' and [[The Velvet Underground]]'s "[[White Light/White Heat]]". Many other compilation albums took their cue from ''Nuggets'', including the ''[[Pebbles series|Pebbles]]'', ''Rubble'' - 20 volumes of mainly UK psychedelia released in the 1980s - and ''[[Back from the Grave (series)|Back From the Grave]]'' series. ''Nuggets'' spawned an entire cottage industry of small record labels dedicated to unearthing and releasing obscure but worthy garage and psychedelic rock music from the 1960s. In 1998 [[Rhino Entertainment|Rhino]] brought the original LP to [[compact disc|CD]], reproducing the original song sequence and liner notes. However, rather than releasing a single-disc release of the original LP, Rhino put the original disc in a box set with three other discs, an extra 91 songs in total that were not on the original LP. Contrary to popular belief, many of the songs were American Top 40 hits: more than a third of the original ''Nuggets'' would fall into that category, while Rhino's expanded set featured such smash hits as "[[Incense and Peppermints (song)|Incense and Peppermints]]" by [[Strawberry Alarm Clock]] (#1), "[[Louie, Louie]]" by [[the Kingsmen]] (#2), "[[Wooly Bully]]" by [[Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs]] (#2), "Little Bit o' Soul" by [[the Music Explosion]] (#2), and "Time Won't Let Me" by [[The Outsiders (American band)|the Outsiders]] (#5). "Louie, Louie", "Laugh, Laugh", "Farmer John", "Psycho", "The Witch",<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.discogs.com/Sonics-The-Witch-Psycho/release/3856467 |title=The Sonics - The Witch / Psycho (Vinyl) at Discogs |publisher=Discogs.com |date= |accessdate=2014-07-13}}</ref> and [[The Gestures]]' "Run, Run, Run"<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.discogs.com/Gestures-Run-Run-Run-It-Seems-To-Me/master/510796 |title=Gestures, The - Run, Run, Run / It Seems To Me at Discogs |publisher=Discogs.com |date= |accessdate=2014-07-13}}</ref> fall outside the set's stated time frame of 1965–1968; "Louie, Louie" having been released in 1963 and the rest in 1964. In 2006 in Europe (and again in 2012 worldwide), Rhino released a remastered version of the original album on a single compact disc in a miniaturized replica of the original [[gatefold]] sleeve. This version was also released (in 2012) in double album LP and digital formats. The 2012 version included updated release notes from Kaye and [[Jac Holzman]]. In 2003, the album was ranked number 196 on ''[[Rolling Stone]]'''s list of [[The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time|the 500 greatest albums of all time]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/lists/500-greatest-albums-of-all-time-20120531/various-artists-nuggets-original-artyfacts-from-the-first-psychedelic-era-1965-1968-20120524 |title=500 Greatest Albums of All Time: Various Artists, 'Nuggets: Original Artyfacts From the First Psychedelic Era, 1965-1968' |publisher=Rolling Stone |date= |accessdate=2014-07-13}}</ref> ==Track listing== ===Side one=== #[[The Electric Prunes]]: "[[I Had Too Much to Dream (Last Night)]]" ([[Annette Tucker]], [[Nancie Mantz]]) – 3:02 (#11) #[[The Standells]]: "[[Dirty Water]]" ([[Ed Cobb]]) – 2:50 (#11) #[[The Strangeloves]]: "Night Time" ([[Bob Feldman]], [[Jerry Goldstein (musician)|Jerry Goldstein]], [[Richard Gottehrer]])– 2:35 (#30) #[[The Knickerbockers]]: "Lies" ([[Beau Charles]], [[Buddy Randell]]) – 2:46 (#20) #[[The Vagrants]]: "[[Respect (song)|Respect]]" ([[Otis Redding]]) – 2:17 #[[Mouse and the Traps|Mouse]]: "[[A Public Execution]]" ([[Knox Henderson]], [[Ronnie Weiss]]) – 3:02 #[[Blues Project|The Blues Project]]: "No Time Like the Right Time" ([[Al Kooper]]) – 2:49 (#96) ===Side two=== #[[Shadows of Knight|The Shadows of Knight]]: "Oh Yeah" ([[Bo Diddley|Ellas McDaniel]]) – 2:51 (#39) #[[The Seeds]]: "[[Pushin' Too Hard]]" ([[Sky Saxon|Richard Marsh]]) – 2:39 (#36) #[[The Barbarians (band)|The Barbarians]]: "[[Moulty (song)|Moulty]]" ([[Barbara Baer]], [[Douglas Morris (singer)|Douglas Morris]], [[Eliot Greenberg]], Robert Schwartz) – 2:37 (#90) #[[The Remains]]: "[[Don't Look Back (The Remains song)|Don't Look Back]]" ([[Billy Vera|William McCord]]) – 2:45 #[[The Magicians (band)|The Magicians]]: "An Invitation to Cry" ([[Alan Gordon (songwriter)|Alan Gordon]], [[James Woods (musician)|James Woods]]) – 2:59 #[[The Castaways]]: "[[Liar, Liar (The Castaways song)|Liar, Liar]]" ([[Dennis Craswell]], [[Jim Donna]]) – 1:56 (#12) #[[The 13th Floor Elevators]]: "[[You're Gonna Miss Me (song)|You're Gonna Miss Me]]" ([[Roky Erickson]]) – 2:31 (#55) ===Side three=== #[[Count Five]]: "[[Psychotic Reaction]]" ([[Craig Atkinson]], [[John Byrne (musician)|John Byrne]], [[John Michalski]], [[Kenn Ellner]], [[Roy Chaney]]) – 3:09 (#5) #[[The Leaves]]: "[[Hey Joe]]" ([[Billy Roberts]]) – 2:53 (#31) #[[Michael and the Messengers]]: "Romeo & Juliet" ([[Bob Hamilton (songwriter)|Bob Hamilton]], [[Fred Gorman]]) – 2:02 (#129) #[[The Cryan' Shames]]: "[[Sugar and Spice (The Searchers song)|Sugar and Spice]]" ([[Fred Nightingale]]) – 2:33 (#49) #[[The Amboy Dukes]]: "[[Baby Please Don't Go]]" ([[Big Joe Williams]]) – 5:41 (#106) #[[Blues Magoos]]: "[[Tobacco Road (song)|Tobacco Road]]" ([[John D.

The first twelve of these albums each focused on either a specific garage-rock subgenre or location, while the last three took a more global approach. This series provided much of the source material for the box set. In 2001, Rhino released ''[[Nuggets II: Original Artyfacts from the British Empire and Beyond, 1964-1969]]'', a four-CD box set. While the original ''Nuggets'' focused on the American scene, the second compilation shifted its focus to the rest of the world, collecting cuts from the [[United Kingdom]] (such as the [[Pretty Things]] and [[Small Faces]]), [[Australia]] ([[the Easybeats]]), [[New Zealand]] ([[the La De Das]]), [[Canada]] ([[the Guess Who]] and [[the Haunted]]), [[Japan]] ([[the Mops]]), [[Iceland]] ([[Thor's Hammer (band)|Thor's Hammer]]), [[Peru]] ([[We All Together]]), and [[Brazil]] ([[Os Mutantes]]). In 2004, Rhino released two more compilations using the ''Nuggets'' title, ''[[Hallucinations: Psychedelic Pop Nuggets from the WEA Vaults]]'' and ''[[Come to the Sunshine: Soft Pop Nuggets from the WEA Vaults]]''. Both discs were released through Rhino's internet-only label [[Rhino Handmade]] in limited pressings of 7500 each. Rhino also released a four-CD set of recordings by bands influenced by the original ''Nuggets'', titled, ''[[Children of Nuggets: Original Artyfacts From The Second Psychedelic Era, 1976-1995]],'' in late 2005. ==Nuggets Volume 2== Lenny Kaye, who compiled the original Nuggets double LP set, also compiled a second volume that was never released. Many of the cuts appeared on the later Nuggets releases, but some did not. Below is the tentative track listing for Lenny Kaye's unreleased second Nuggets volume. # [[The Lovin' Spoonful]] – "[[Do You Believe in Magic (song)|Do You Believe in Magic]]" (Kama Sutra) # [[The Outsiders (American band)|The Outsiders]] – "Time Won’t Let Me" (Capitol) # [[The Left Banke]] – "[[Walk Away Renée]]" (Smash) # [[Syndicate of Sound]] – "Little Girl" (Bell) # [[The Balloon Farm]] – "A Question of Temperature" (Laurie) # [[Swingin' Medallions]] – "Double Shot of My Baby’s Love" (Smash) # [[The Gentrys]] – "Keep On Dancing" (MGM) # [[The Music Machine]] – "Talk Talk" (Original Sound) # [[The Five Americans]] – "I See the Light" (Abnak/HBR) # [[? & the Mysterians]] – "[[96 Tears]]" (Cameo) # [[Richard and the Young Lions|Richard & The Young Lions]] – "Open Up Your Door" (Phillips) # [[The Beau Brummels]] – "Laugh, Laugh" OR "Just a Little" (Autumn) # [[Clefs of Lavender Hill]] – "Stop-Get a Ticket" (Date) # [[The Rainy Daze]] – "That Acapulco Gold" (Uni) # The Elastik Band – "Spazz" (Atco) # [[The Mystery Trend]] – "Johnny Was a Good Boy" (Verve) # [[The Good Rats]] – "The Hobo" (Kapp) # [[The Yellow Balloon (band)|The Yellow Balloon]] – "[[Yellow Balloon]]" (Canterbury) # [[The Gestures]] – "Run Run Run" (Soma) # [[The Choir (garage rock)|The Choir]] – "It’s Cold Outside" (Roulette) # [[Bobby Fuller Four]] – "[[I Fought the Law]]" (Mustang) # [[The Myddle Class]] – "Free as the Wind" (Tomorrow) # [[Evil (band)|The Evil]] – "Whatcha Gonna Do About It?"
