Big Beat's acclaimed "Nuggets From The Golden State" series returns after a brief hiatus with the first-ever collection devoted to the late '60s San Francisco psychedelic rock group Ace Of Cups, whose names were emblazoned on countless Avalon and Fillmore posters. Ace Of Cups never actually released any records, but the Cups were rated by no less than Jimi Hendrix. This combo could sound at once punky (Stones), soulful "Looking For My Man" and poetic ("Touch Of One" - in fact Quicksilver covered a Cups' song on their "Shady Grove" LP). A special bonus is the inclusion of group leader Denise Kaufman's 1966 45 as Denise & Company. This anthology dates from 1967-69.
