Nuggets: Original Artyfacts From the First Psychedelic Era, 1965–1968

Nuggets: Original Artyfacts From the First Psychedelic Era, 1965–1968 is a 1972 compilation assembled by Lenny Kaye that collects mid 1960s garage rock and early psychedelic singles. The selections emphasize raw, guitar-driven arrangements, fuzz and organ textures, concise song structures and direct vocal delivery, moving between punchy three-minute rockers and more experimental psychedelic moments. The compilation presents a snapshot of regional US bands whose rough-hewn sound and studio oddities trace a line from amateur garage rock toward the broader psychedelic sensibilities of the late 1960s.
