In Los Angeles during the mid-'60s, music was everywhere - from the garages of Orange County, to the dingbat apartments of the San Fernando Valley, to the bungalows of Laurel Canyon. But without a doubt, the epicenter of the music scene was the Sunset Strip, where “freaksâ€

*Previously unreleased

Looks ok- but seems like either a) something to humor the list geek Rhino and b) stretches the "nuggets" name recognition to make more money for Rhino - regardless of whether these are from deep in the vault.

who's buying me this for my birthday?

Looks good in theory. I own the US, UK and SF Nuggets boxsets. I rarely listen to any of them anymore. This seems like overkill even if it has some artists i like.

<---- Won't be buying

Based on the title of this thread, I assumed the now Denver Nuggets had once played in Los Angeles and I just never knew it. Carry on.

boyce & hart.

From the thread title, I thought this was going to be about the afternoon teevee show I used to watch with go-go dancers on the beach and Paul Revere & The Raiders hosting.

comes out tomorrow.

Amoeba Hollywood is holding this event for any LA'ers who might be interested.

Or the inside show, 9th St West, with Sam Riddle. This time in LA was my formative years and environment. Cruising the Strip listening to this garage rock. I remember walking into a club called The Trip, and I thought I had entered a parallel universe. Maybe I did. Maybe I've stayed there since, safe in its shadows.

Future emo bands everywhere are moping that Peanut Butter Conspiracy & Everpresent Fullness have already been used.

FTL.

Never did pick this up. I still think it would probably be overkill for me. It's more tempting today though because Rhino is offering it for 40% off today only as part of their 12 days of rhino:

$34 is cheaper than even the cheapest used copy on Amazon.

I tried to buy this the other night but their Web site kept hiccupping and wouldn't process my order but I couldn't call for service since their call center was closed. Called the next day to get it worked out and they wouldn't honor the sale price since it was a one-dayh only thing.

All that to say; fuck Rhino. Anyone got this and willing to upload it?

Oh, Canada!

Many many thanks
