Good thing it's a September release. I'll need all that time to cross-reference all my other "Nuggets" and related box sets to see how much redundancy I'm looking at...

The Mystery Trend's "Johnny Was a Good Boy" and Count Five's "Psychotic Reaction" are on both the SF and 1st Nuggets boxes - no other dupes between the two sets.

Between the 1st Nuggets box and the LA set - there appear to be no dupes at all.

Boxed Set Excavates More Than 100 Nuggets from Los Angeles' Eclectic Music Scene From 1965-68, Spotlighting Gems from The Byrds, The Beach Boys and Love, Plus Cult Classics by The Standells, Spirit, The Seeds, The Electric Prunes and More

Four-Disc Set Will Be Available from Rhino September 22

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 “freaks” filled the rock clubs lining the famed Hollywood thoroughfare. Rhino continues the storied Nuggets tradition with a four-disc boxed set that mines the city's rich musical history for unsung gems. WHERE THE ACTION IS! LOS ANGELES NUGGETS 1965-1968 will be available September 22 from Rhino Records for a suggested list price of $64.98.

Andrew Sandoval, one of the collection's producers, explains the set's concept in its liner notes: “...the Nuggets series is something of the alternative musical history of the 1960's. Not so much a survey of what happened, but more what could have happened had music charted on merit alone.”

WHERE THE ACTION IS! compiles 101 tracks that mix many of the city's brightest stars (The Byrds, Love, The Doors, The Beach Boys, Buffalo Springfield, Captain Beefheart, The Mama & The Papas, Lowell George, Iron Butterfly, The Monkees) with talented artists whose stellar songcraft sadly flew under the radar (The Seeds, Jameson, The Electric Prunes, Modern Folk Quintet, The Peanut Butter Conspiracy, Spirit, The Everpresent Fullness, Kaleidoscope, The Standells, The Bobby Fuller Four).

WHERE THE ACTION IS! encompasses four discs arranged thematically to cover different aspects of the pop, rock, club and 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 two features a sampling of the musicians who began life in South L.A., East L.A. and such far-flung suburbs as Riverside and Bakersfield. The third delves into the artistry of L.A.'s producers, arrangers and 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 and full-blown psychedelia in the region. It also shows how rock pioneers such as Del Shannon and Rick Nelson took their own stabs at fitting in with “the kids.”

Among the many highlights are: an alternate take of The Beach Boys' “Heroes And Villains,” Warren Zevon and producer Bones Howe performing “(You Used To) Ride So High” as The Motorcycle Abeline, “Take A Giant Step” by The Rising Sons, “Acid Head” by The Velvet Illusions,” local scenester Kim Fowley's “Underground Lady,” Jan & Dean's “Fan Tan,” The Monkees' “Daily Nightly,” Jesse Lee Kincaid's “She Sang Hymns Out Of Tune,” “Come To The Sunshine” by Van Dyke Parks, “Sister Marie” by Nilsson and “Hippy Elevator Operator” by The W.C. Fields Memorial Electric String Band.

The set also offers a trio of previously unreleased tracks: a recently discovered demo version of “Sit Down I Think I Love You” recorded by Stephen Stills and Richie Furay shortly before they formed Buffalo Springfield; a demo of “Words” by Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart, one of the West Coast's most successful songwriting teams; and “Once Upon A Time” a collaboration between Tim Buckley and lyricist Larry Beckett.

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, a listing of the clubs and who performed there, an essay about the L.A. radio stations that defined the era, plus a track-by-track commentary.

I got my advance on Thursday. If you're into the Nuggets collections or interested in the LA scene, the box set is well worth it!

I just ordered one......I think I have about 10+% of it already....(Love, Standells, Capt. Beefheart, Monkees, Doors...I think I have the Lowell George/Factory CD).....but this looks really good.

(I'm still holding off the San Francisco one because I have a decent amount of it)

Only six more days. Can't remember when I've been this excited about a box set. Too cool that the Bush are represented - they were the local s**t! (Opened for the Rolling Stones at the Swing Auditorium in San Bernardino, 1965).

I'm sure I will eventually.......sort of ranking what to postpone for awhile because of what I spent on the Beatles sets.

Agree JohnG, I probably will order it over the weekend.
The Rhino boxsets such as the Nuggets series, "Left of the Dial" and others are just fantastic.
You put these in your player (I have a carousel) and it like being transported to another time.

Rick A,

If I pre-ordered it at a higher price, will they charge me the lower pre-order price they now have posted?

Amazon will charge you the lower price GC.

I've ordered it too just now. I love the whole California 60's music scene from Haight Ashbury down to Laurel Canyon. Can't wait.
