While the Nuggets sets may get all the praise (and deservedly so), I actually prefer the Back From The Grave series. It’s just that much more noisy, full of snarled vocals and fuzztone guitars.

Weirdly, though, I didn’t realize this fact for a long, long time as I never had these compilations until they appeared on CD in the early 90s!  What […]
