Third Man worked closely with surviving members of The Nerves, Paul Collins and Peter Case, along with Jack Lee's daughter Cynthia, to bring The Nerves - Best Collection to you. Unlike previous releases that often relied on secondary copies or rips from vinyl and CDs, Third Man were able to locate the original source recordings and have Warren Defever master and remaster them at Third Man Mastering in Detroit for this release. This is what makes this record so special: it features the definitive versions of these tracks as they were originally intended. Some have not been heard since the day they were recorded.
