Absolutely amazing box set with four CD's, the final word in the task started by Lenny Kaye in 1972 with the double album of the same tittle.

Most of these one hundred and eighteen tracks had already been released in compilations or belong to well reissued bands, but there are a lot of surprises. There are also insight liner notes by acclaimed experts such as Mike Stax, Greg Shaw, Lenny Kaye, Alec Palao and Bill Inglot. With Electric Prunes, Standells, Strangeloves, Sonics, 13th Floor Elevators, Paul Revere & The Raiders, Knickerbockers, Strangeloves, Shadows Of Knight, Seeds, Remains, Count Five, Chocolate Watchband, Nazz, Love, Kim Fowley, Syndicate Of Sound, New Colony Six, Davie Allan & THe Arrows, Rationals, We The People, Kingsmen, Wailers, Monks, Other Half, Music Machine, We The People, etc...
