{"product_id":"ted-nugent-the-essential-ted-nugent","title":"THE ESSENTIAL TED NUGENT","description":"Recording information: 1975; 1976; 1977; 1978; 1979; 1980; 1982.\nPhotographers: Jeffrey Mayer; Al Clayton; Roz Levin.\nThe Essential Ted Nugent falls short of its billing for a couple of reasons. First of all, even if the sound is very good, there are no liner notes -- just shots of Ted doing his guitar face on-stage, plus pictures of his Epic albums. Second, this concentrates just on his Epic recordings, without dipping into the Amboy Dukes, while also ignoring latter-day recordings for other labels, including his manly tribute to the great hunter, \"Fred Bear\" (if you live in Michigan, where you can't go a day in hunting season without hearing this song, you know this is a crucial omission). So, what do you get? A double-disc collection of Ted the \"wildman\" at his peak -- which is good for those who just want the prime and the prime only, but it's a bit much for those who just want hits. As far as music goes, it's pretty good, since it does have those basic hits, but it's still a bit much and it could have been produced with a bit more care. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 10\/25\/2010\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Ted Nugent","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44562558124265,"sku":"9MPIXG-5V7E-00","price":20.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/Ted-Nugent-THE-ESSENTIAL-TED-NUGENT_VUwni.jpg?v=1759440929","url":"https:\/\/www.vibinvinyl.com\/products\/ted-nugent-the-essential-ted-nugent","provider":"Vibin' Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
