Nuggets Vol. 2 as originally thought of by Lenny Kaye and released to celebrate the 50 years of the legendary compilation.

It's a nugget if you dug it! That small phrase captures the enormous spirit driving one of the most influential rock anthologies ever released. 

The idea for Nuggets came from Jac Holzman, the founder of Elektra Records: "AM radio despised ‘long' tracks, loosely defined as anything that exceeded three minutes, and this was true throughout the '50s and '60s. Even our Doors single, ‘Light My Fire,' had to chop Robby's incendiary guitar solo to fit the rigid AM formula. It's what made me think about the snappy, short rock and roll singles that had jump-started AM rock radio, at its beginnings." To excavate these hidden gems, Holzman recruited legendary guitarist Lenny Kaye: "It's the songs in the end that make Nuggets so memorable, the lightning strikes of brilliance that move a record past genre into the realm of classic...Given the reins, I just played disc jockey, telling my ear-witness tale of inspiration derived, of desire and belief. Or daring to believe."
