The Nerves formed in 1974 and disbanded in 1977. The Nerves were a DIY band and funded their own tours and recordings, without any record deals. Selling albums to record stores in the U. S. and Canada and from the back of their van, The Nerves managed to leave a lasting impression on the music world. Paul Collins managed the band and booked their shows. Paul, Peter and Jack opened their own club in Hollywood, showcasing their own concerts from the latest and greatest punk and indie bands during the late 1970s. The Nerves' best known song Hanging On The Telephone, has been covered by Cat Power, Def Leppard and Blondie, who instantly heard the The Nerves EP and were impressed. This CD includes The Nerves 4 song EP in its entirety, in addition to 16 additional tracks that would have comprised future albums, had The Nerves stayed together. When The Nerves broke up, Paul Collins formed The Beat and The Breakaways with Peter Case, who would later form The Plimsouls and eventually win a Grammy award for his solo material. Jack Lee pursued a solo career and wrote songs for artists such as UK singer Paul Young. The Paul Collins Beat and The Plimsouls would both be featured on early MTV, but Paul Collins would re-form The Beat as The Paul Collins Beat, who continue to record new music and tour the world, playing concerts in USA, Japan, UK, Brazil, Canada, France, Italy, Spain, Sweden and throughout Europe.

Legendary indie rocker Paul Collins is best known for his bands The Nerves, The Beat and The Breakaways. The Nerves' hit song Hanging On The Telephone has been covered by Cat Power, Blondie and Def Leppard. The Nerves toured with The Ramones and funded their own recordings. The Beat was formed by Paul Collins after The Nerves disbanded in 1977. Collins' friend Dee Dee Ramone of The Ramones encouraged him to form a heavier and harder-rocking band similar to The Nerves. The Beat were early MTV music video pioneers with 2 videos still shown on MTV. The Beat were featured on the Caddyshack motion picture soundtrack and can be seen in the ending credits. The Breakaways was Collins' short-lived project with Grammy-Award winner Peter Case, a respected songwriter and garage rocker in The Plimsouls.
