more nuggets!

as a music lover and a dj, i can't help but owe rhino records an enormous debt of gratitude. not only do they put together high-quality re-issues that help flesh out my collection, but their compilations make it very easy to put together a mixtape. in fact, i could play any album from the nuggets series in its entirety on the radio and people would think i'm a big garage rock know it all.

now they're doing it again with a focus on l.a. bands - the four-disc set where the action is! los angeles nuggets 1965-1968 is coming out on 9.22. according to their website, you can expect rarities from the byrds, the beach boys, love, the standells, the electric prunes and more. so save your hard-earned, mark your calendars, and get in line. it will be worth the $64.98 asking price, i'm sure.
