Product Description Los Nuggetz is a collection of 1960s hyper kinetic garage, punk, pop and psychedelic music from Mexico, Spain and Latin American countries. While the inspiration for this collection has been the enduring trend and influence of American garage and psych bands from the 60s, it is our hope that this will serve as an introduction to the amazing variety of Mexican and Latin American rock from that era. This is the missing chapter in the global history of Rock & Roll. The, fuzz and fury of rock En Espanol with all the punk and pop elements that make it immediately listenable. Spanish interpretations of classic American and British songs that became popular around the world. Review Nostalgia, uber hipster fodder or bleeding edge of the next trend? Remember when you would listen to baseball games on the Spanish radio station in class on your cheesy ear bud just to chuckle when the announcer would be clattering away in Spanish but you found something wonderfully off beat about when they would say the players names in English? This set is that mood on steroids. Punk is punk and inasmuch as this set is designed to give you a load of stuff you never heard or heard of, it has Latin bands covering Kinks, Hey, Joe , Wooly Bully and more, more, more, spread over 4 discs. The stuff that has had off beat collectors making Salvation Army a regular stop the way soccer moms make Starbucks a regular stop, this overwhelmingly, maddingly cool collection will have you standing apart from the pack as you blast it in your car with the windows down. Beautifully packaged in a little golden book sized book complete with kokopelis, death masks, wrestling masks and other cheesy artifacts, this is the kind of stuff that could drive some gringos as crazy as reggae drives other gringos crazy. When you see James Austin and Rock Beat on the same package, just grab it and don t worry about where the path leads. Once again, this is a serving of the finest in vinyl junkydom and your tour guides will not leave you humped and dumped in some strange back alley, in tub of cold water with your kidneys missing. This is a fun house, roller coaster ride of the first order --Chris Spector- Midwest RecordWhen I see Producer James Austin's name on a reissue album project I know I'm in for something unusual. Austin spent many years at Rhino Records producing "theme based" reissue box sets - often in unusual packaging (though sometimes hard to store) - many of which are still in my collection after 30 years. Austin left Rhino years ago and, with another Rhino veteran, Arny Schorr, helped found Rock Beat Records. To date most of their releases have been single or double CD albums. Though I may be wrong, this is the first multi-disc set with deluxe packaging and detailed liner notes.The four disc set is packaged with the CDs stored in the front and back covers of a lavishly illustrated 70-page hardbound book. After the introduction by Austin, there are detailed track notes - by Randal Wood - and gorgeous color reproductions of the record sleeves or album covers. There are a whopping 101 tracks here, most, if not all, you have probably never heard before, unless you lived in South Texas in the 1960s and travelled to South America a lot during that time.To get you into the mood, Austin starts of the album with an intro we all know by hear: "Ono! Dos! Tres! Quatro!....". Yep, it's "Wooly Bully", but not by Sam The Sham and the Pharaohs. This time it's in Spanish by Los Shain's. What follows are many more songs that we know in their English versions but are done here in Spanish by groups from Latin America (Mexico, Peru, Dominican Republic) and Spain. There's The Kinks' "You Really Got Me" , The Stones' "Satisfaction" and even Nancy Sinatra's "These Boots Are Made For Walking" all done by local bands in Spanish. Austin always loved to insert "odd tracks" into his compilations so we are also treated to a Volkswagen commercial, and a few Spanish radio station IDs. --Steve Ramm- AmazonWhen I see Producer James Austin's name on a reissue album project I know I'm in for something unusual.
