Product Description

CD Description

Honouring the classic Radio Two show of the same name, Sounds of the Sixties is a double-disc rediscovery of one of pop music's golden eras in history. The album features many key sixties artists including The Walker Brothers, Tom Jones and The Beach Boys, hard to find tracks by Dorian Gray, Ken Thorne & His Orchestra and Arrival as well as a number of hidden gems that have never before been released on CD. Every track includes a fascinating story or behind the scenes facts compiled by the programme’s producer, Phil (The Collector) Swern in a comprehensive booklet that music fans and other collectors will cherish.

GREAT SIXTIES SOUNDS 23 Nov 2011
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
In keeping with the format of BBC Radio 2's weekly show this is an excellent compilation of hits, rarites and obscure material and it makes a change from the constant run of the mill 60's hit compilations.

I could not think of anyone better to start off disc 1 than Dusty and that's exactly what we have with her top ten hit I Close My Eyes & Count To Ten and there is also a Lana Sisters track which is the group Dusty worked with before The Springfields.

Great selection of tracks here so I think I will treat myself to an early Christmas present!

Excellent album, well put together with little known hits from that era, such as I've got you on my mind by Dorian Gray and the Ken Thorne Orchestra, its mix is a reflection and diversity of the Saturday morning programme, well done.

Format:Audio CD
Ever since I heard it on Brian Matthew's Sound Of The Sixties there has been one track that I've tried to get on MP3 or CD with zero success. Up to now that track has been impossible to come by, except on Youtube. I was glancing through the track listing of this cd and there it was. That track is No Fun At The Fair by Bobby Goldsboro, a fantastically catchy upbeat song written by Mike D'Abo and I've just downloaded it. Brilliant, Wonderful. Goodness knows why this was never a hit. So, thank you Brian Matthews for introducing this track on the airwaves and thanks to this cd which means I can now listen to this track on my MP3 player whenever I want.

As for the rest of the tracklist I like the fact that there are very few obvious tracks. I have many Sixties compilations and various greatest hits collections but I have very few of the tracks that are on this compilation. So, on the surface it looks worth getting especially if you don't just like the obvious sixties tracks.
