Nuggets - Original Artyfacts from the Psychedelic Era (full series: I-V)

Spotify archive is a living organism: going up and down like the tide, following the cycles of the moon (and of licensing agreements). Year by year, songs are added or taken away from the service and sometimes these changes are quite significant for Spotirama playlists. This is one of those times. In a positive way.

When I first made playlists based on the first two of Elektra/Rhino's Nuggets compilation albums, dozens of tracks were missing. Today things have really improved: I found more than sixty songs previously missing. That means playlists are closer to the original boxsets. Besides, I made three new playlists, completing the Nuggets saga. And - on the very bottom of this post - you will find a mammoth playlist, too: a collection of more than 314 songs from all the series.

Nuggets II: Original Artyfacts From the British Empire and Beyond, 1964-1969 (2001)

Info: «While the original Nuggets compilation concentrated on the American pop-rock scene, the second Nuggets shifted its focus to the rest of the world, collecting cuts from the UK (such as The Pretty Things and Small Faces), Canada (The Guess Who, The Haunted), Japan (The Mops), Australia (The Easybeats, The Masters Apprentices, Ronnie Burns), New Zealand (The La De Das, Chants R&B), Sweden (The Tages), Iceland (Thor's Hammer), The Netherlands (Q65, Cuby + Blizzards, Golden Earrings), Peru (We All Together), Brazil (Os Mutantes), Uruguay (Los Shakers), Czechoslovakia (The Matadors), Austria (The Slaves). The compilation was produced by music consultant Alec Palao and production coordinator Gary Stewart. The packaging includes a fully illustrated book, with the design of each individual CD resembling those of the late 1960s British record labels Deram, Reaction and Immediate, and Shel Talmy's Planet Records» (from Wikipedia).
