But why didn't they include all the 60's recordings ? :mad:

Anyway here's the blurb.....

The mythical garage rock band’s debut album, 51 years in the making! First-ever full album release from seminal 1960’s New Jersey garage rock pioneers.
“A tale of redemption, of reward and resurrection.” – Lenny Kaye
Heavy airplay for debut single “Action Woman” – a cover of the garage rock classic by The Litter – already underway at SiriusXM and Little Steven’s Underground Garage syndicated terrestrial radio show. Heavy rotation will continue through two more singles – “Hurt By Love” and “I Ain’t Missing You (Things Got Better) – lasting months past album release date.
A pet project for Underground Garage impresario Steven Van Zandt, who personally produced the album. Features nine new recordings and two original remastered 1960’s recordings.
Contains newly recorded version of their biggest ’60s hit “Open Up Your Door,” a regional smash which reached #1 in Cleveland, Detroit and Salt Lake City, #2 in Seattle and Vancouver, and the Top 10 in many other U.S. and Canadian cities. The garage rock anthem gained new audiences when featured on Rhino’s expanded Nuggets box set in 1998.
Packaging features rare archival photos and liner notes by garage rock authority Lenny Kaye, creator of the Nuggets compilations and bassist for the Patti Smith Group.
Recordings are among the last made by singer Richard Tepp before his passing.
For fans of: The Rolling Stones, The Stooges, Them featuring Van Morrison, The White Stripes, The Kinks, MC5, The Sonics, The Hives, Paul Revere & The Raiders, The Black Keys, The Pretty Things.

Tracklisting 1. Open Up Your Door 2. One Kiss 3. I Ain't Missing You (Things Got Better) 4. Action Woman 5. Once Upon Your Smile 6. Don't Waste My Time 7. Warning 8. Hurt By Love 9. Nasty (Original) 10. Dig We Must 11. You Can Make It (Original)
 
I would have bought it if they included all ‘60s recordings (they’re probably saving others for the promised Volume 2)...but I’ll pass.
 
They should have done a comp of the 60s stuff first then released this. You would think they must have at least one or two unheard sixties nuggets, even if it's just live stuff.
 
I like it - if all (or even some) new music was like this, I would be quite happy.
However, as soon as I hear stereo, I get sort of depressed.
