Nuggets II: Original Artyfacts from the British Empire and Beyond, 1964–1969


Nuggets II: Original Artyfacts from the British Empire and Beyond, 1964–1969 is a four-disc box set from Rhino Records, released in 2001.
While the original Nuggets compilation concentrated on the American pop and rock scene, the second Nuggets shifted its focus to the rest of the world, collecting cuts from the United Kingdom, Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Sweden, Iceland, The Netherlands, Peru, Brazil, Uruguay, Czechoslovakia and Austria.
The compilation was produced by music consultant Alec Palao and production coordinator Gary Stewart. The packaging includes a fully illustrated book in a box, with the design of each individual CD resembling those of the late 1960s British record labels Deram, Reaction and Immediate, and Shel Talmy's Planet Records. The liner notes are by Bomp's Greg Shaw.

Critical reception

Entertainment Weekly wrote that "its melodious late-’60s clamor pays tribute less to the cool of the Beatles and Stones than to the alienation of the Who and the Kinks—with a nod to the American garage." The [New York Times] wrote: "This follow-up to the 1998 boxed set of classic American garage-rock and psychedelic nuggets is a highly recommended grab-bag of bad-boy classics and obscurities."
