What you need and more

"Some silly person wrote that the Nuggets II album had all you needed and wanted, so that there would be no reason to buy this. Wrong: the utterly obscure and wonderful freak beat stormer Grey by The Hush is not there, the over the top tounge in check psychedelic gem Nightmares in Red by the Brain is not there or the not so obscure psychedelic groove classic 10000 Words In A Cardboard Box by Aquarian Age is not there. I could go on and on. Not all here is fantastic, but hey you get 10 Cds with some really hard to get stuff, so what the @#$# do you expect. To compare this compilation to the Sundazed Psychedelic Microdot Volume 1 collection or the "Teenage Shutdown" series tells us more about the mind-altering substances that person have been using the last decades, than anything about this classic series of albums from the early 80s. Though I like both series mentioned, the Rubble stuff is in a league of itself. Now if you don't have much freak-beat/psychedelic stuff you might do well to dig into the two Nuggetsboxes, which truely are for the novice (make sure you get Floyd's Pipers while you're at it), the Rubble albums were never intended for beginners, but for people who have a habit to support and find it harder and harder to get one's kicks. Well this then is the real thing and if you really want to impress your friends with cool stuff they have never ever heard of then this box is for you. Run and buy.. AND SO SAY ALL OF US............................."

"To compare this set with "THE NUGGETS". Would be somehow missing the point.
I feel that the NUGGETS sets are somewhat for the extrovert. Or someone who has a casual interest in the music that didn't quite make it. And wants to impress friends.
This rubble set along with 11-20. Can do no wrong in my eyes. For someone who is more into music in all its experimental states from a past but most productive era. We are talking psycadelia at its finest (Not just by the bands that just missed out because of under promotion).But by bands that had Zilch promotion. But were experimenting as they wished(IE Noone told them what the formula was!)
Check out the Dutch bands on Volume 9. It's all there in a box. And this Box set is a Must buy! Along with 11-20.
BTW> Elitists may say DON'T BUY! (They want to keep this music to themselves) No way! I say. Everyone should hear these sounds."

"Rubble Vol 1-10 has some tracks well worth the money (ex. Lovley People, Bluebird Wood, Place In The Sun and Upside Down)but in all the cd's only have maybe 3-4 worth wild tracks on each CD. But I guess it depends on what you like. It is a good stepping stone to see what kinda psych. sound you would enjoy, because it has about everything on it."
