Michigan Nuggets

For vinyl collectors of Michigan Sixties Artifacts, the 'holy grail' is Michigan Nuggets, an impressive 2 LP set on Belvedere Records. The 31 cuts include many of the biggest Detroit-area garage band local hits of the 60's including those by the Woolies, the Rationals, the Unrelated Segments, the Shy Guys, the Human Beings, Tim Tam & the Turn-Ons, the Wanted, the Underdogs, and the Tidal Waves. It also has six rare Bob Seger recordings from the Hideout label including "Persecution Smith", "Chain Smoking", and "East Side Story". Besides all these treasures, the double album features four early MC5 titles, and the hard-to-find Amboy Dukes' single, "You Talk Sunshine, I Breathe Fire". For laughs, you even get an audio curio called "An Important Message" featuring Dr. Jack Van Impe railing against the evils of rock and roll! A limited edition (500 copies), unauthorized double album of Michigan rock from the '60s. One of the very best garage-oriented compilations of the era, and a pretty diverse one. The sound is excellent, as are the liner notes in a beautiful gatefold sleeve; it's worth paying collector prices for.
