Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
It would take a lot of money and hours of 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. Where else can you find XTC spin-off Dukes of Stratosphear, the La's "There 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

One of the previous two reviews really does not do justice to this superb collection from Rhino (a recommendation in itself). Almost all of the 100 tracks on offer are worthy of your attention whether your preference is for power pop, new wave, garage or if you simply love great music regardless of genre - which surely is really the point anyway! I guarantee you are unlikely to be disappointed.

Its difficult for 2nd or 3rd wave bands replicating a previous point in time be it the 60's psychedlia,Psychobilly and its debt to Rockabilly or the new generation of Punk bands heavily indebted to the past..the word contrived seems to dog anything that takes on the past however rich its own musical ideas.
However there's much to enjoy with regard the above compilation set, Its kind of more Garage heavy than the trippy stuff which i would kind of enjoyed more but with the likes of The Revillos, Dukes of Stratosphear, The times and various early creation bits this is a pot pouri of the best examples of 60's infused guitar pop.
The price isn't a barrier either given its 4 CD's crammed to the rafters and a accomplished book of notes on each artist...worth an add to the basket

Don't be put off if you're only into sixties psych - this is a great collction. The sub-title 'Original Artyfacts From The Second Psychedelic Era 1976-1995' is a little misleading, but what the collection does do is bring together many psych revivalists, paisley undergrounders, psychobillies, and obscurities into one fascinating package.

Another great compilation by Rhino
Andrew Sandoval has a great knowledge about pop. And he shows it in this great compilation. There are some misses but anyway, a must have.

A surprisingly nice box set
I purchased Children of Nuggets with a degree of apprehension. On the one hand, I'd read plenty of glowing reviews about it and how the four discs were packed with acknowledged... Read more

Boo!
The compilers of the first 2 Nuggets box sets must have had to struggle to choose only one track per 60s band, given the wealth of material on offer. Read more
