Pretty good collection

(3 out of 5 stars)

"Now this is one of the better of the "Nuggets" selections, with 9 certifiable national hits out of 18 tunes. A few are out-and-out psychadelic one-hit classics, like the Electric Prunes' "I Had Too Much To Dream", or the Strawberry Alarm Clock's "Incense and Peppermints". But some of the better tunes, like the Chambers Brothers' great "Time Has Come Today" come from groups whose entire catalog is worth having- "Time" is from an album that also features their version of the great Curtis Mayfield tune, "People Get Ready", "Midnight Hour" and more.



On the whole, though, this is a good selection of 60s rock and pop with very few exceptions (what is that silly Dino, Desi and Billy track doing here?) that would serve as a good introduction for younger listeners curious as to what Mom and Dad (or maybe Grandma and Granddad) were freaking out to back in the old days."
