‘It paved the way for all of us’: the classic garage rock compilation Nuggets at 50

Half a century on from its release, we track down the surviving artists from the hugely influential record and hear how the double LP changed their lives and careers

A five LP Nuggets box set is on the way – delayed until spring 2023 owing to the vinyl production backlog.

Did not see a pre-order for this, yet

The Cure debuted 2 new songs at the first date of their tour. They sound pretty good to me! And Perry Bamonte is back in the touring band, now a six piece.
