''Nuggets: Original Artyfacts from the First Psychedelic Era'' is a groundbreaking compilation album of American psychedelic and garage rock singles released in the mid-to-late 1960s. It was assembled by Jac Holzman, founder of Elektra Records, and Lenny Kaye, later lead guitarist for the Patti Smith Group. The original double album was released on LP by Elektra in 1972 with liner notes by Kaye that contained one of the first uses of the term "punk rock". It was reissued with a new cover design by Sire Records in 1976 and more recently as an expanded four-CD box set in 1998. ==Influence and reissues== Jon Savage, in his history of the UK punk rock scene, ''England's Dreaming'', cites ''Nuggets'' as a major influence on punk bands and includes it in his essential punk discography, alongside Iggy and the Stooges' ''Raw Power''and The Velvet Underground "White Light/White Heat" Many other compilation albums took their cue from ''Nuggets'', including the ''Pebbles'', ''Rubble'' - 20 volumes of mainly UK psychedelia released in the 1980s - and ''Back From the Grave'' series. ''Nuggets'' spawned an entire cottage industry of small record labels dedicated to unearthing and releasing obscure but worthy garage and psychedelic rock music from the 1960s. In 1998 Rhino brought the original LP to CD, reproducing the original song sequence and liner notes. However, rather than releasing a single-disc release of the original LP, Rhino put the original disc in a box set with three other discs, an extra 91 songs in total that were not on the original LP. Contrary to popular belief, many of the songs were American Top 40 hits: more than a third of the original ''Nuggets'' would fall into that category, while Rhino's expanded set featured such smash hits as "Incense and Peppermints" by Strawberry Alarm Clock (#1), "Louie, Louie" by the Kingsmen (#2), "Wooly Bully" by Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs (#2), "Little Bit o' Soul" by the Music Explosion (#2), and "Time Won't Let Me" by the Outsiders (#5). "Louie, Louie", "Laugh, Laugh", "Farmer John", "Psycho", "The Witch", and "Run, Run, Run" fall outside the set's stated time frame of 1965–1968; "Louie, Louie" having been released in 1963 and the rest in 1964. In 2006 in Europe (and again in 2012 worldwide), Rhino released a remastered version of the original album on a single compact disc in a miniaturized replica of the original gatefold sleeve. This version was also released (in 2012) in double album LP and digital formats. The 2012 version included updated release notes from Kaye and Jac Holzman. In 2003, the album was ranked number 196 on ''Rolling Stones list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nuggets: Original Artyfacts from the First Psychedelic Era, 1965–1968」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
