No, this ain’t yer dad’s Nuggets. Like the sixties French Freakbeat compilation featured back in April, the 60’s Scarcest Garage Records (pt. 1 & 2) is a compilation I often frequent that has little to no information to be found online. In the 21st century, this fact alone adds yet another element of retro-cool to its already smoldering 26 tracks. This is herky-jerky garage rock at its finest.
Like some of my favorite comps, this one was passed on to me, some time ago, from another sixties garage rock fan/collector, with only the caveat of “you just gotta hear this.” He was right – I did, and you do.

Waddaya mean, “yer Dad’s Nuggets”? Don’t assume all your readers are under 30 (or 40, or 50). Nuggets was my generation; my Dad’s was Vera Lynn.
