BEST OF THE 60S (3 CD Set)

The pop music of the 1960s was a much more polished version of the beginnings in the 50s yet the garage band sound of acts like the McCoy s and Hang on Sloopy and wailing guitars of the Troggs Wild Thing reminded us all that Rock & Roll was not dead yet! Girl groups like The Crystals brought us He s a Rebel and The Grass Roots pounded out hit after hit like Let s Live for Today along with freckled faced Gary Lewis [son of Jerry] and his Playboys landed #1 hits like This Diamond Ring amidst the onslaught of British Invasion acts like Herman s Hermits. The 45 RPM record was the main carrier of hits from The Miracles, Vogues, Wayne Fontana and The Everly Brothers and Mitch Ryder, while TV shows like American Bandstand and Shindig brought us weekly offerings of our favorite stars. As the 60s progressed and the war in Vietnam worsened, the psychedelic sounds of bands like Vanilla Fudge and Blue Cher blasted out of our radios and the bubble gun sound of the Archie s brought us Sugar, Sugar . Thirty six classic 1960s hits , newly recorded or live in concert at a special budget price on three discs.
