Lenny Kaye & Tana Yonas — In Conversation: Nuggets 50th Anniversary
Listen back to Nuggets producer Lenny Kaye in conversation with Tana Yonas.
On April 20, 2023, dublab, In Sheep’s Clothing, & Rhino Records presented the first listen of the newly reissued Nuggets: Original Artyfacts from the First Psychedelic Era, 1965-1968! Celebrating its 50th birthday, this groundbreaking collection doubles in size for a new anniversary edition that launched as a Record Store Day exclusive on April 22.
“First released in 1972 on Elektra Records, [Nuggets] 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.”

“Record stores are a great repository of knowledge. When I’m on the road, I like to get out of the ‘band hive’ and spend a day in a record store. I call it ‘playing in the fields of the Lord’ because you never know what you can find.”
