Advantages: Brilliant selection of some the best songs ever. Disadvantages: None at all
This 2 CD album has 52 very good tracks on it nearly all of which are instantly recognisable.
There are no weak tracks at all so you can happily put the CD on and just let it play great track after great track.
I am a big fan of Sixties music because along withe 1980s it is the best period in history for musical creativity.
Some of the higlights on this double album are:
The Kinks - Waterloo Sunset
Mary Wells - My Guy
Cliff Bennett & The Rebel Rousers - Got To Get You Into My Life
Moody Blues - Go Now
Procul Harum - Whiter Shade Of Pale
Animals - House Of The Rising Sun
Glen Campbell - Wichita Lineman
Peter Sarstedt - Where Do You Go To My Lovely
Gene Pitney - Something's Gotten Hold Of My Heart
Del Shannon - Runaway
Johnny Kidd & The Pirates - Shakin' All Over
This is the best 60s compilation album I know of.
