The creation of this database was hardly a one-man show, and I'm indebted to the following people for their help:

Hitomi Ishikawa, for her encouragement and many hours of research and data entry, as well as hosting the database on her website;

David Walters, who's book Children of Nuggets provided much of the original release information and track orders, as well as my initial inspiration. I should also mention some of the folks who helped David, and so indirectly contributed to this project: Greg Shaw, Tim Warren, J.D. Martignon, and Larry Ray;

Koen Goossens, who sent in countless track lists and corrections;

Ivor Trueman, Vernon Joynson and Max Waller for letting me use their books (Fuzz, Acid & Flowers, The Tapestry of Delights, and Dreams, Fantasies & Nightmares) as sources.

Massimo Lucchini, for his help with Italian bands and for providing many cover images (available soon). Be sure to check out his book Nuggetsmania, which provides track list for CD comps covering the US and Canadian scenes (Abraxas, 2000, ISBN 88-88006-00-1).

Hans-Jurgen Klitsch, for letting me use his book Shakin' All Over for German discographical information.

Rob Kopp, for providing a great deal of info on Dutch groups;

Ron Simpson for the many pages of band locations and original release info he provided;

Rat Pfink for hosting the site and providing technical advice;

Wolfgang Voelkel, for the many photocopied track lists he's sent in (click here to visit his mail-order site.);

Claus Lellinge for his help with Danish samplers (check out his very detailed website on the Danish 60s scene, Dansk Rock, Pigtrad og Beat 1958-68);

Mark Kupsz for sending in scans of many neo-garage comps;
