Free Music Notes for Nuggets II: Original Artyfacts From The British Empire And Beyond

Free Music Review: The stuff that changed the world of rock!
Hit: 5 Stars

I bought this about a year ago, and thinking about getting the American one lately, I've decided to review this precious gem.
Being buried amongst other box sets, and so forth, I haven't listened to it recently, but shall, once I've installed some kind of new shelving to store all the discs accumulating in my humble apartement.
I got the impression, from some reviews, (and even a little from the fantastic, large, colorful, and very infomative book), that, although highly praised, this set is regarded as a cool,fun, trip down a sort of psychedelic memory lane. That's all fine and well, but it's MUCH, MUCH, MORE than that! For example, along with The Yardbirds, (particularly the "Jeff Beck" era), and The Who's, "My Generation", as well early Kinks, and the beginnings of the experimental-era Beatles:("Tommorrow Never Knows" ,"Strawberry Fields Forever", and "I Am the Walrus"), this is a perfect example of the bold, innovative, career-at-risk-taking, gritty, groundbreaking rock that not only started the whole "pschedelic" movement, but evolved then into "acid rock", "heavy metal","punk" "progressive rock", etc.!
When I put on disc one, I was completely blown away, to hear the tough, heady, aggressive sounds of howling feedback guitar and gritty, early amplifier distortion, played against a rhythm-section of chugging bass, drums, and angry vocals. A young listener today might not find this to be all that revolutionary, but that would be a young listener whose not considering the fact that this is the very first music to ever use "that" sound, and over forty years ago, no less!! "That" sound was only just being invented, and discovered, especially by the likes of Jeff Beck, who would even go on to somewhat influence Jimi Hendrix, who would then influence thousands upon thousands of future guitar players because of guitar soloes in songs like "Shapes of Things". What particularly blew me away about "Nuggets 2", was that it would appear that at least a few other "unknown" groups were incorporating very similar sounds, (around the same time that the Yardbirds were), judging from these discs! Should musical history then be rewritten? I'm not so sure, since Jeff Beck claims to have been using constructive guitar feedback, echo, and so forth, (with the Tridents and Nightshift), as far back as 1962!
The important thing is that this type of non-commercial, innovative rock created a specific guitar sound, (and overall feirce, primal,sometimes dark and eerie, yet futuristic "vibe" from those bands), that has now become a staple amongst the world's most respected and admired rock bands. Of course today, guitar amplifier manufacturers and guitar-effects makers have come up with methods for producing even "more" distortion, and more effects, but there's still something very special about the "pure" sound of over-heated, glass, tube-driven amps being pushed at full volume, in order to produce as much "grit" as those early bands could possibly muster, with what little they had.
But of course, not all is perfect, and I'd have to say that some of, (disc three, I think it was), is rather weak, featuring a few crappy groups. Again, that's only "part" of disc three. But overall, I was very impressed, and it's quite possible that the compilers of this (mostly great) box-set found that they had more than enough material for three discs, and ended up adding some stuff they might have otherwise been wary of, in order to complete four entire lengthy discs.
Another thing of much importance here, is that the British groups, (in particular), influenced the American groups, that would sprout up soon after. Of course, earlier American rockabilly, blues, and so forth,(from the '50's), inspired the Brits, along with their own "skiffle", etc. Thus, some of the latter American results were great, (in a differant way), which is why I'll soon be buying the American "Nuggets"!
Finally, (especially for the increasingly growing number of young musicologists, musicians, and simply "inquisitive", who seem to be mostly in their teens, and early-twenties), I can think of a couple of companion box-sets that would go quite nicely with this one. "The British Beat", (though much more "pop" oriented overall), makes a perfect primer with a good three-disc set. Again, though more in the "commercial" mode, some of the music on these discs helped pave the way for the more brash, and daring bands, (like those on "Nuggets 2"), earlier on, especially the Kinks, The Zombies, Manfred Mann, Procol Haram, Small Faces, and others. And, most definately, I would highly recommend some of the most important, and groundbreaking stuff found on cd, (from those truly creative days), the 2-disc "Ultimate Yardbirds", which also includes a very informative booklet, and most of the stuff from the Jeff Beck, and Jimmy Page era.

Genre: ROCK/POP COLLECTIONS
All those who enjoy music richer in energy and daring than intelligence and maturity should add Nuggets II: Original Artyfacts from the British Empire and Beyond (1964-1969) to their music collection--where it should sit right next to the series' first volume. The lyrics to songs such as "I Can Hear the Grass Grow" and "14 Hour Technicolour Dream" won't unlock life's mysteries, but the reckless abandon with which these songs were written and played will remind anyone how it feels to be young and angst-ridden. A few of the selections, including "Pictures of Matchstick Men," achieved some commercial success upon release; some were covered by bands more recent or lasting than the mostly one-hit wonders who performed the originals; others are so simple they sound like a lot of rock songs; and a number include a distinctive sound or effect other rockers felt compelled to steal. Plenty of songs, though, will be new to all but the most dedicated collectors, and the fact that the best of these didn't make the charts when they were originally released confirms that timing is indeed everything. A final note: While the music in this collection is certainly worth the price, the beautiful liner notes--all 100 pages worth--offer a treasure-trove of information, great graphics, and lots of yuks. --Steve Halloran
