I LOVE YouTube.

Yup, this YouTube makes some of a rock fans wildest dreams come true. I wouldn't have thought that some of this material even exists. This goes also to the porn version of YouTube. :D

There's only been one winner from the X-factor and that's Cowell. Nobody else has really achieved anything and he keeps raking the money in.

I used to have a copy of the '72 original release but someone had it away.
They re-released it when punk broke, I think.
Just off to iTunes to see if they have it!

UPDATE: They don't. there's something posing as 'Nuggets' - but it ain't.
The search goes on...

Are you refering to the great compilations by the Rhino label?:

the first set was about the"original" American garage rock the second covered the British equivalents coverng early offerings by the likes of David Bowie (then David Jones).

The Rhino ones were good - but they were, I think, spin offs from, or follow-ups to an original double album released in 1972 - on Elektra, I think...

Just looked it up...

Actually called "Nuggets: Original Artyfacts from the First Psychedelic Era, 1965-1968" - Elektra 1972 - and, looking at the track listing, it didn't have the Famin' Groovies on it - they must have been on the big, expanded box set that was released later.

But the Rhino "Nuggets" was indeed a classic series.

The Nuggets is the single CD album from the original box set.

Can't see it at the moment but it had things like Amboy Dukes - Baby please don't go, Electric Prunes, Count Five etc.

The best of prog is brilliant, but some of it is total tosh. I'm afraid many people associate it with trolls and hobits and general rubbish.

The subject matter is pretty irrelevant to how toshy the music is, imho. For example, Gong used some of the most whimsical themes, with several albums just about pixies, but their output can now be seen as a precursor to punk, with their loose arrangements, fresh sound and some genuine anarchy. It's very silly, but they didn't seem to take themselves seriously, so it worked.
