2 LP release of the original nuggets compilation from 1972. First released in 1972 on Elektra Records, the compilation is among the only ‘various artists’ titles to consistently wind up on published lists of ‘all-time top albums’. Nuggets spawned more than 200 like-minded collections under such titles as Pebbles and Back From The Grave, and is a consistent compilation favourite and has carved out a genre of its own.
