The Troggs Tapes is a bootleg recording of the English rock band the Troggs. It was originally recorded in 1970, and consists of band members having an acrimonious argument over the production and recording of a song, with frequent use of profanity. It has become one of the best known spoken word bootleg recordings, and has influenced later work such as This is Spinal Tap.

By 1970, the Troggs' commercial success was on the wane. The production company Dick James Music offered them studio time in the hope of recording a hit single and revitalising their career. The band were booked into DJM's studios in London, which suffered from having the control room and recording room in separate locations, linked only by a tannoy system and closed circuit television. Because the band had not rehearsed material, the session quickly descended into acrimony, with singer Reg Presley verbally assaulting the other band members' ideas and competence. Drummer Ronnie Bond was unable to copy Presley's idea of a drum pattern, which culminated in Presley exclaiming "frickin' drummer. Oi shite 'em!"

The argument was captured on tape by an engineer, and made its way onto bootlegs in the early 1970s.

Children of Nuggets: Original Artyfacts from the Second Psychedelic Era, 1976–1995 is a four compact disc compilation album of alternative pop music recorded between 1976 and 1995, although most of the recordings are from the 1980s. It was released on Rhino Records in 2005. The title refers to the original Nuggets LP, which was first issued in 1972 and whose music influenced the bands featured on Children of Nuggets.

Children of Nuggets is the third box set in Rhino's Nuggets series. The first two sets focused on 1960s garage rock and psychedelic music, expanding on the track selection of the original Nuggets LP, which was compiled by Jac Holzman and Lenny Kaye and released in 1972.

The tracks on Children of Nuggets were chosen by Alec Palao and Gary Stewart and represent a later period. Palao writes in the liner notes that they were following Kaye's original objective which, he said, was to "compile together the good tracks from all those albums that only have one good track".

The song selection gives particular prominence to the artists that formed Los Angeles' Byrds-influenced Paisley Underground scene in the 1980s, with tracks by Rain Parade, Dream Syndicate, The Three O'Clock, Green on Red, and the Bangles (recording under their earlier name as the Bangs) all featuring.
