WHERE THE ACTION IS! L.A. NUGGETE 1965-1968(4CD BOX)
ウェア・ジ・アクション・イズ！ LAナゲッツ 1965-1968 (4CDボックス)

最高の60sガレージ・ロック、サンシャイン・ポップが101曲奇跡の大集合！

2007年発売以来好評を博している『LOVE IS THE SONG WE SING SAN FRANCISCO NUGETS 1965-1970』(4CDボックスセット）に姉妹編が登場。ライノが創立以来最も力をいれてきた「NUGGETS」シリーズの集大成ロサンゼルス篇。
バッファロー・スプリングフィールド、ドアーズ、ラヴ、バーズ、ソニー＆シェールなどのおなじみに加えて、キャプテン・ビーフハート、リーヴス、シーズ、スピリット、キム・フォウリー、P.F．スローン、などの鬼才、奇才もレーベルを超えて収録。単にこれらバンドのヒット曲、代表曲を寄せ集めるのではなくその時代のＬＡの気分を最も伝える曲を収録していることが凡百のアンソロジーとは事を異にしている。聞き所は満載だがヴァン・ダイク・パークスが自ら歌う「カム・トゥ・ザ・サンシャイン」、モージョー・メンでおなじみの「シット・ダウン・アイ・シンク・アイ・ラヴ・ユー」を作者であるスティ－ヴン・スティルスが歌うデモ（未発表）、ビーチ・ボーイズの「英雄と悪漢」のオルタネイト・テイク、モンキーズのヒット曲「恋の合言葉」を作者であるボイス・アンド・ハートが歌うデモ・テイク（未発表）などよくぞここまで集めてきたと思わせるすごさ。当時の写真、ポスターなどをフィチャーした50ページ以上の大型ブックレット、エッセイなど随所にさすがライノと思わせる充実振り。
レイト60ＳのＬＡを十二分に感じることの出来る渾身のボックスセット。
