Tiny Tim Live! At the Royal Albert Hall is a live album by American singer Tiny Tim, recorded at The Royal Albert Hall in 1968, but not commercially released until 2000 by Rhino Records. Live! At the Royal Albert Hall is the only album by Tiny Tim to have an accompaniment of full-sized orchestra, from first overture to final applause.
The album was recorded live to a 4-track master in 1968, and these original, 4-track master tapes were utilized to create this release. Due to the nature of being recorded live, a few recording mistakes are audible, such as Tiny Tim's vocal mic volume being set at an unsuitable level before being fixed by a recording engineer.
The album was originally issued as a CD through "Rhino Handmade", limited to 3,500 copies. Included in this release was a reproduction of the original 28-page concert program given to the audience members that night.[1] In April 2019, the album was reissued by Run Out Groove as a limited edition red vinyl double LP.[3][4]

Nuggets: Original Artyfacts from the First Psychedelic Era is a compilation album of American psychedelic and garage rock singles that were released during the mid-to-late 1960s. It was created by Lenny Kaye, who was a writer and clerk at the Village Oldies record shop in New York. He would later become the lead guitarist for the Patti Smith Group. Kaye produced Nuggets under the supervision of Elektra Records founder Jac Holzman. Kaye conceived the project as a series of roughly eight LP installments focusing on different US regions, but Elektra convinced him that one double album would be more commercially viable. It was released on LP by Elektra in 1972 with liner notes by Kaye that contained one of the first uses of the term "punk rock". It was reissued with a new cover design by Sire Records in 1976. In the 1980s, Rhino Records issued Nuggets in a series of fifteen installments, and in 1998 as a 4-cd box set.
