"Children of Nuggets" box details at last

This set from Rhino Records has sounded like a gem ever since we first heard about it. Now, the label has finally spilled the beans with an official track list and release date (next week! Sept. 27). You can order it now from Amazon.

Here's Rhino's spiel:

In keeping with the spirit of Lenny Kaye's original Nuggets, this four-disc box renews the tradition with a cornucopia of grassroots rock, retro revelations, and lush power pop from the next generation of like-minded bands. 100 songs, five hours of remastered music! A full-color booklet includes photos, liner notes by Little Steven Van Zandt, Nigel Cross, and co-producer Alec Palao, track-by-track commentary by Kieron Taylor, and closing comments by co-producer Gary Stewart.
