Great sixties collection, not just for summer, 17 Nov 2002
This compilation was well-advertised at the time of it's release in the summer of 1999. It is now hard to find in the shops but it's still available from Amazon, fortunately.It is very different from the sixties summer party album which I've also reviewed. There are a few tracks which appear on both collections, but not many, especially considering that there are 50 here and 54 on the other collection. This, being a love collection rather than a party album, is generally slower. The title is slightly misleading - there are very few summer songs (Sunny and Sitting in the park are the obvious ones) so this works just as well at any time of year. Still, it seems that the word summer in the title helps sales at that time of the year. Also, I've never thought of Whiter shade of pale or House of the rising sun as love songs - but they are classics, so nobody will object to their inclusion. Of course, there have been many double-CD's of sixties hits released over the last few years. Some tracks are included more often than others and which ones appeal most will often depend on how many of your personal favorites are included, or how many songs you are missing from your own collection. However, this is undoubtedly a very strong compilation which I find extremely enjoyable listening.
