Where The Action Is! LA Nuggets 1965 - 1968

VARIOUS Where The Action Is! LA Nuggets 1965 - 1968 (2009 UK 4-CD album set - In Los Angeles during the mid 60's, music was everywhere - from the garages of Orange County, to the dingbat apartments of the San Fernando Valley, to the bungalowsof Laurel Canyon. But without a doubt, the epicentre of the music scene was the Sunset Strip, where 'freaks' filled the rock clubs lining the famed Hollywood thoroughfare. Rhino continues the storied Nuggets tradition with a box set that minesthe city's rich musical history for unsung gems. 'Where The Action Is!' encompasses four discs arranged thematically to cover different aspects of the pop, rock, club & Top 40 sounds of the era. The first covers some of the most notable bands that performed in the clubs of Hollywood's Sunset Strip. Disc 2 features a sampling of the musicians who began life in South LA, East LA & such far-flung suburbs as Riverside & Bakersfield. Disc 3 delves into the artistry of LA's producers, arrangers & Wrecking Crew of studio players. The final disc takes us from the nascent seeds of folk rock to the first blooms of canyon rock, country rock & full-blown psychedelia in the region. It also shows how rock pioneers such as Del Shannon & Rick Nelson took their own stabs at fitting in with 'the kids'. Beautifully packaged in a coffee table book resembling the San Francisco Nuggets collection from 2006, the set provides a wealth of information about Los Angeles' music scene, including a comprehensive timeline, unpublished photos, new quotes from many of the artists, a listing of the clubs & who performed there, an essay about the LA radio stations that defined the era, plus a track-by-track commentary with detailed session info on each song. The packaging is & the discs are Excellent with just a few faint & unavoidable scuffs caused from the slightly bonkers card inlay design!)
