The Nerves – Best Collection - Limited Edition 2LP on Red Marble Vinyl. To Be Released 23rd October.

The Nerves (Jack Lee (1952-2023), Paul Collins, Peter Case) – Best Collection is the definitive, fully authorised anthology from the pioneering American power-pop trio, released next week via Third Man Records.

Commemorating the 50th anniversary of the band's legendary self-titled 1976 EP, this comprehensive 66-minute collection spans 29 tracks.

Unlike bootlegs or secondary vinyl rips, Third Man worked directly with surviving members Paul Collins and Peter Case, alongside the late Jack Lee’s daughter Cynthia, to locate the original master tapes. The entire compilation has been newly restored and mastered by Warren Defever at Third Man Mastering in Detroit.
