5.0 out of 5 stars
All killer no filler!,
By Matthew (London, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Nuggets II: Original Artyfacts from the British Empire and Beyond (Audio CD)
The first Nuggets box set was hailed by many as the best compilation ever released, so the follow up had to be amazing and it is. This time Rhino have gathered together all the essential British tracks from the era and some obscure European gems for the collection. Anyone who's ever heard and loved the Rubble collection series from Bam Caruso will be as horrified as me by the recently released CD compilations called the 'Best of Rubble'. The excellent packaging from the original issues is missing and so are most of the best tracks. Since the original Rubbles are deleted on CD, these horrible offensive items were the only way you could easily get the more obscure British output this sort of material (par the excellent Psychedelic Scene from Decca) unless you bought vinyl. This wonderfully compiled box set comprises the best tracks from the Chocolate Soup compilation, which is also deleted on CD, together with some carefully selected freakbeat and psych classics from that era. Some of the groups featured are quite famous, such as The Small Faces, The Move, Marmalade, The Troggs, Them, The Creation, (and Marc Bolan and David Bowie before stardom feature), etc. whilst some artists are lesser known, The Zipps, Factory, Os Mutants, etc., but it's all essential stuff. It comes in tripped out packaging with a very informative book that provides extensive information on each track. Very carefully put together and it's all killer no filler, just buy it, man!

24carrot gold nuggets!! (A 60's music fan from the U.K.),
By
This review is from: Nuggets II: Original Artyfacts from the British Empire and Beyond (Audio CD)
This is one really beautiful collection that no 60's music fan should be without. The box itself is simply gorgeous as is the 100 page book containing info about each of the groups including many photographs of the groups themselves. The 4 CDs in the box feature stunning covers and each of the CD labels depicted the record labels of the time like Deram and Immediate. Ok it may say on the box "Contains Virtually No Hits", which is fair to say as it is aimed at the U.S. Market but a lot of the groups in the collection are from the UK including The Creation, The Troggs, The idle Race and more. Every single track in the collection is just brilliant (no kidding). Status Quo's 'Pictures Of Matchstick Men' and The Easybeats 'Friday on My Mind' were big hits here in the U.K. in the 60' but I guess not in the U.S.
From Mod, Psychedelic, British R&B and Freakbeat this collection has it all. Even though I do love 60's music in general and 60's compilations, here in the U.K. all we seem to churn out is the same 60's hits Compilations again and again and it does get a little boring but not with this box set because it's so fresh to listen to. I just wish that here in the U.K. we could make 60's compilations like this (as this is how it should be done). What more can I say about Nuggets II, it's just amazing, well done to Rhino you deserve an award.

Treasure trove,
By A Customer
This review is from: Nuggets II: Original Artyfacts from the British Empire and Beyond (Audio CD)
This ain't cheap, but well worth the price. Unless you're a real 60s anorak, you probably won't have heard of 75% of these acts. Full marks to the compilers for rescuing many of these names from obscurity - especially the ultra-collectable and highly sought-after Acid Gallery 1969 single 'Dance Around The Maypole' (a song written by Move main man Roy Wood and recorded by the group who later evolved into 1970 chart-toppers Christie). The booklet is first class, and the individual CD designs - mirroring the contemporary Deram, Reaction, Transatlantic and Immediate record labels - are great too.
