from Fuzz Acid & Flowers:
This Detroit-based group are of particular interest as their leader, Ted Nugent, later attained rock stardom. The Amboy Dukes attracted national attention when the title track of their second album became a U.S. Top Twenty hit. Nugent's frenzied guitar playing also made them a prime 'live' attraction, and the number that usually closed their shows, Them's U.K. hit Baby Please Don't Go included on their first album is also featured on Nuggets. A typical punk garage band, The 'Dukes should, by rights, have faded back into obscurity post-1969. But Nugent's persistence kept them on the road and the band, having gone through various personnel changes, was still putting out largely tasteless albums into the seventies. A compilation The Best of The Amboy Dukes (Mainstream 6125) was also issued in the seventies, but the best compilation of their material is the double LP Journeys And Migrations (Mainstream ) in 1974. Another compilation of their material was Dr Slingshot (Mainstream MRL 414) in 1974.
