Nuggets: Original Artyfacts from the First Psychedelic Era, 1965-1968 (4 CD BOX)
I have four tunes strung together and taken from the above referenced box set cd 2.
Can you name the artists and tunes?
From the liner notes:
Compiled by rock critic and future Patti Smith Group guitarist Lenny Kaye, 1972's Nuggets was the anthology responsible for reviving interest in mid-'60s American garage rock. After the proliferation of specialized volumes with the Nuggets title by reissue label Rhino, this four-CD box set is intended as the ideal summation/expansion of the Nuggets concept. The first CD reproduces, track-by-track, the original 27-song Nuggets, while the other three CDs add what may be considered 91 bonus tracks, from the biggest-selling garage hits ("Louie Louie," "Wooly Bully") to some cuts that only devout '60s specialists will know. All important permutations of the mid-'60s garage style are present: primitive fuzz, folk-rock, horn rock, psychedelic dementia, protest rock, etc. Major heroes the Music Machine, the Seeds, the Shadows of Knight, the Electric Prunes, the Standells, the Sonics, the Chocolate Watch Band, and many others are all represented, often by more than one song. If it's possible to give a five-star rating with reservations, it's tempting to do so here. No one could have possibly satisfied all rabid garage collectors with a mere 118 songs, but that's not really the point here; the object was to provide a wide-ranging box set of '60s garage rock that would entertain, represent the considerable span of garage styles, and be massive -- yet affordable -- for the committed rock fan who nonetheless doesn't want everything. Rhino has succeeded, while also presenting the songs in the best possible quality (in mono), whether from the master tapes or best existing copies. With a 100-page booklet of new liner notes (Kaye's original annotation is also included), it is the best investment possible for those who thirst for more '60s garage rock than is available on the best single-volume compilations, with a track selection geared toward cream-of-the-crop quality and variety rather than narrow collector prejudices.

this is 2 easy
Fantastic! I haven't heard these since, well, since I was knee high to a grasshopper. Actually that's a lie, because I was in University when most of these came out. Which means, "you want old? I'll give you old." Stay tuned.
Great post.
Sending MOGmail with my answers. You stumped me on the third one.
Good selections. Great tunes.
This is a real trip, so to speak. The first disc kicks off with a long-time favorite that, I always thought, epitomized that form of Psych., I Had Too Much To Dream, by The Electric Prunes. The word play, and spacy lyrics and sound. That lead guitar and the electric sting that sends your heart over the top. The name of the group, like many on this set.
Then there's the frat-rock strain. Hearing Time Won't Let Me, here, was a revelation, because I never understood that line "wait that long". I always thought it must be "Wip it on."
It also has a lot of stuff I never heard, as well as stuff I recall that most of my friends don't, like Lies by the Knickerbockers (or was that the Beatles under another name?).
This set is certainly a treasure trove. Thanks for bringing it up.
wizillusions is the winner by virtue of the fact that he was the only one to hazard a guess!
Nobody But Me - The Human Beinz
Time Won't Let Me - The Outsiders
Double Shot (Of My Baby's Love) - The Swingin' Medallions
(We Ain't Got) Nothin' Yet - Blues Magoos
Great set. I was too late to hazard a guess.
Me too......but thanks for the fun tunes and quiz format!
and did u have the answers?
NO. Well, I DID know Time Won't Let Me right away, and I recognized the first one but couldn't name it off the top of my head.....pretty pathetic, I know.
Still, I enjoyed!
well then, I feel better about not waiting for u to chime in :-)
