VINYL FORMAT.Formed in 1975, the Nerves are one of the most influential garage/punk pop outfits to come out of the mid-70's LA scene, and certainly one of the least documented -- until now. Mostly remembered for their classic "Hanging On The Telephone," a Jack Lee composition which has been covered over the years by a myriad of artists from Blondie to L7 to Cat Power, the Nerves were above all a high energy rock'n'roll band with all three members composing and singing. Playing fast, ear-catching garage pop songs, sometimes wearing matching suits, the trio had more than a bit of the stripped down street energy of the Los Angeles's early punk movement.

This collection features the band's 1976 EP (now regarded as a power pop classic), as well as demos and previously unreleased live recordings, complete with notes and photos.
