It just doesn't seem fair to bug you 'cause you got long hair. May 14, 2010
Johnny Heering (Bethel, CT United States)
This is the fifth box set in the Nuggets series. It focuses on the Los Angeles rock music scene from 1965 to 1968. It has a good selection of songs from both well known and unknown performers. One good thing is that the songs by famous groups like The Doors, Sonny & Cher, The Byrds and The Turtles are not their best known songs which you have already heard a million times. Not every song here is great, but the majority of them are good. If you enjoyed the previous Nuggets box sets, you'll probably like this one, too.
No cheese, please... January 14, 2010

Outstanding collection of nuggets, indeed. Although I have a number of tracks scattered on other recordings that are contained on this collection, my biggest criticism is what others have said about the storage sleeves for the cds. "Total cheese". Why they couldn't have put good, recessed trays inside that would be more accessible as well as better protection is beyond me. Same goes for the "Love is the Song We Sing" collection. A superb gathering of music, brought down by cheesy cd-storage. Rhino needs to re-think this one. But all the music on both collections is nice venture into a time when the gloves were off musically and audio pugilism was on all radios and stereos. Recommended.

a compilation as ambitious as this one will always lead to the inevitable question- but what about??? in this case, the mothers of invention, strawberry alarm clock, clear light to name a few. but why quibble? enjoy a trip back to the music scene of LA. in all it's tie-dyed, psychedelic glory. if this cd piques your interest i'd suggest domenic priore's book riot on sunset strip which further details the time.

Nice 4 CD package from the good folks at Rhino. Another excellent edition of the "Nuggets" series. Songs well selected and well researched. Unfortunately, although this over $25 item was supposedly eligible for "free shipping", I was charged the standard shipping rate through some screw up, either by me or by Amazon.
Good music, so-so commentary December 19, 2009

Some people have complained about the packaging of this collection (without ever discussing the music) and some have bemoaned the fact that the music is released in mono instead of stereo (although many of the songs were recorded in mono). Both complaints miss the point. This is a fine collection of music. I grew up in this era, but over 60 of the 101 songs here are new to me or are in new mixes, which is impressive. Yes, I could do without the Monkees, The Doors, and Love, all of whom are already heavily anthologized, but the obscure tracks make up for them.
The liner notes don't measure up, though. The San Francisco box had solid essays discussing the whole scene and how the music both influenced and fed off the local culture and demographics. The LA box gives a small photo of each band and the usual brief essay on the recording of each song, but we miss that comprehensive overview. The time line along the bottom of the pages doesn't help much because an isolated incident every month or two doesn't give any depth. According to page 10, the Rolling Stones (not exactly an LA band) recorded "I Can't Get No Satisfaction" in September of 1965, but I'm about 99% certain that the song was being played when I graduated from High School in June of that year. Maybe a typo, or maybe my memory is faulty, but I noticed it.
