From Amazon.com
That the most famous garage-rock record of all time, the Kingsmen's "Louie Louie," is buried on the last CD of this four-disc box is very much in keeping with the spirit of the (often) one-hit wonders that people Nuggets. Here, "Louie Louie" is just another great song. An elaboration on the 1972 double LP, which is included in its original sequence, this set piles on dozens more great moments of inspiration, guts, chutzpah, and sometimes sheer commercial calculation. How else to explain the advice "Look at yourself" from the likes of the Strawberry Alarm Clock, whose idea of mind expansion seems limited to putting together two very vaguely related nouns--"Incense and Peppermints"--so their swinging Farfisa-led track will have something, anything, for verbal content? There's loads of such wisdom on display here, prefab and otherwise, usually delivered as rabidly as possible. (Try the Remains' "Don't Look Back," Mouse and the Traps' "Maid of Sugar--Maid of Spice," or the Music Machine's "Talk Talk," which was actually a hit.) And remember: "The sky is falling / The ocean is calling / The world ... is spinning 'round ... and 'round." For sure. --Rickey Wright

Un Essentiel amazon.fr
En quatre CD, la messe est dite ! Avec cette boîte de Pandore, le label Rhino propose la compilation ultime du rock garage 60's, condensé cinq étoiles de la célèbre petite graine Nuggets (un double LP de 27 titres) plantée par Lenny Kaye en 1972 pour l'écurie Elektra. La maison Rhino réédite donc la bête et, mieux, la transforme en quatre CD sur lesquels s'entassent les combos les plus foncièrement rock du territoire US. Dans ce génial carambolage des plus flamboyantes poubelles de l'histoire du rock, l'éphémère est de rigueur, l'efficacité est immédiate ! Alors que les mid' 60's pullulent de génies et de styles en tout genre, le rock garage débarque en agitant le Do It Yourself, credo précurseur incitant n'importe quel groupe de n'importe quel patelin à se lancer dans n'importe quelle aventure rock'n'roll, aussi pourrie soit-elle… Non seulement "ils" le firent mais ils le firent avec une fougue dévastatrice : Count Five, Music Machine, Standells, Shadows Of Knight, Sonics, 13th Floor Elevators, Remains, Chocolate Watchband et consorts livrèrent des hymnes radicaux à faire baver les Rolls qu'étaient les Beatles, Stones, Jefferson Airplane et autres Byrds. Là, et nulle part ailleurs, la substantifique moelle du rock'n'roll prend racine. Bref, pas de demi-mesure : ce coffret est une bombe qui pète à la gueule ! --Marc Zisman
