ITEM: Children of Nuggets 4 CD box set. brand new sealed copy.LABEL: RhinoVALUE: list price $64.99" When Patti Smith group guitarist and music mavenLenny Kaye oversaw the now classic Nuggets: Original Artyfacts From theFirst Psychedelic Era, 1965-1968 for Elektra, it was under label president Jac Holzman's directive to "compile together the good tracks from all those albums that only have one good track." Two legendary LP's worth of garage-skewed classic pop song genius later, the '72 set saluted the quintessential Nuggets notion that every band has ashot at a three-minute gem. Children of Nuggets renews the tradition with a cornucopia of grassroots rock, retro revelations, lush power pop, and sublime grooves and lyrical flow from the next generation of like-minded bands, circa '76-'95. Good to the last drop, it's four CDs of absolutely esential, DIY-infused songs, each and every one a rare sonic gem. "" In keeping with the spirit of Lenny Kaye's original Nuggets , this four-disc box renews the tradition with a cornucopia of grassroots rock, retro revelations, and lush power pop from the next generation of like-minded bands. 100 songs, five hours of remastered music! A full-color booklet includes photos, liner notes by Little Steven Van Zandt, Nigel Cross, and co-producer Alec Palao, track-by-track commentary by Kieron Tyler, and closing comments by co-producer Gary Stewart.""It would take thousands of dollars (or as many hours in download time) to hoard the most coveted songs from the eighties' top secret power pop bands, garage combos and post-new wave throngs into one collection. Or you can let Rhino Records, which masterfully conspired with writer/musician Lenny Kaye late last century to inflate and repackage Kaye's original Nuggets compilation, do the legwork. These four discs, though chaotically sequenced, scour all sides of the ponds to capture the vitality and innovation of mostly 1980-'85, introducing (or reintroducing) to-be-influential bands like San Francisco's Flamin' Groovies, New York's Raybeats, England's Soft Boys, Australia's the Church and Sweden's Nomads. W else can you find XTC spin-off Dukes of Stratosphear, the La's "T She Goes" and the Bangles a half-decade prior to their manic Monday, along with the Cramps, the Plimsouls, the db's and the Bevis Frond in a single shebang—and with Rhino's ample, informative, transcendent liner notes, to boot?" --Scott Holter "This particular collection of music from '76 to '96 is flawless in recording and content. Each cut is a hit in and of itself. If you loved college radio through the 70's, 80's and 90's, this is THE collection that brings it all back. You'll find no filler, no 'top 40' garbage, no tricks, just plenty of guitar, hooks, blues riffs, rhythm and vocals...'three chords and the truth' is what it's all about. Check out ALL the Nuggets collections, they're all really great, but t isn't enough stars for this one."TRACKS:* VANISHING GIRL - The Dukes Of Stratosphear * HELP YOU ANN - Lyres * THE REAL WORLD - Bangles * RE LIVING IN VIOLENT TIMES - The Barracudas * THE TRAINS - he Nashville Ramblers * SEVEN YEARS - Watermelon Men * STRANGERS WHEN WE MEET - The Smitens * WADING THROUGH A VENTILATOR - The Soft Boys * I CAN'T HIDE - Flamin' Groovies * THE GIRL FROM BALTIMORE - The Fleshtones * IT'S A GOOD THING - That Petrol Emotion * SHE'S FINE - The Stems * ALL MY LIFE - The Point * DOWN AT THE NIGHTCLUB - The Creeps * (MY GIRL) MARYANNE - The Spongetones * SHE TURNS TO FLOWERS - Salvation Army * YOU ARE MY FRIEND - The Rain Parade * MR.
