No uno, si no cuatro! albumes con las mas selectas piezas arqueologicas de fundamental tracendencia para la musica que hoy nos invade. Este box set debe ser la biblia para todo buen amante del groovy sesentero.
Este album es un recopilatorio de garage rock, psicodelica, beat, de la seguna mitad de los años 60 compilado por Jac Holzman, fundador de Elektra Records, con la asistencia de Lenny Kaye, quien luego sería guitarrista de Patti Smith. Juntos armaron un álbum doble con canciones de bandas de garage estadounidenses que fue lanzado en 1972 por Elektra Records y reeditado con diferente portada por Sire Records en 1976. Las notas internas del disco, escritas por Lenny Kaye, incluían una breve biografía de cada desconocida banda.
Las bandas incluidas en este compilado son consideradas como una influencia importante para el movimiento punk gracias al sonido crudo de grupos como The Electric Prunes, The Chocolates Watchband, The Sonics, o The 13th Floor Elevators, por lo cual se suele citar a este álbum como uno fundamental para entender el camino que llevó al surgimiento del punk. También marcó el comienzo de la apreciación seria del underground de los 60. El álbum apareció en el puesto 196 de la lista de «los 500 mejores álbumes de todos los tiempos» publicada por la revista Rolling Stone y en el puesto ??? de la lista de «los 200 mejores discos del siglo XX» publicada por la revista Rockdelux.
Muchos otros compilados siguieron el ejemplo de los Nuggets. La serie Pebbles, Rubble (20 volúmenes de psicodelia del Reino Unido editados en los 80s) y Back From The Grave. Por ende, podemos considerar a este primer compilado como la piedra basal para toda una industria de pequeños sellos discográficos dedicados a rescatar y reeditar oscuras bandas de los 60 que de otra manera habrían sido prácticamente olvidadas. Y aún hoy sigue ejerciendo influencia sobre muchos archivistas que buscan gemas ocultas de cada rincón del mundo para un público de dedicados coleccionistas.
