Amazon.co.uk Review
For too many people, the 1960s remain The Beatles and The Rolling Stones--and not a lot else. However, 60 Number Ones Of The Sixties goes some way to proving that there was far more to that most swinging of times than Mick and Keef and the sainted Lennon and McCartney. And to prove it, it draws on chart-toppers spanning the entire decade, from the primitive rumble of Del Shannon's "Runaway" through to Marvin Gaye's "I Heard it Through the Grapevine", the untrammelled euphoria of "Everlasting Love" by The Love Affair through to the forgotten likes of The Young Rascals and--deep breath--Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Tich.

Tied in with the closure of Wembley Stadium--1966 and all that--where this selection really scores is in reflecting just how diverse Number Ones were back then; witness the Merseybeat chirrup of Gerry and the Pacemakers' "How Do You Do It" set beside the loose-limbed ska of Desmond Dekker's "The Israelites". Ultimately this is more than mere history; this is where so much of today's music draws its inspiration and is a truly inspired evocation of that period. --Billy Swift

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   21 of 22 people found the following review helpful: Useful compilation with a couple of goofs., 23 Nov 2000 By A Customer The England sleeve is misleading as this useful compilation also features chart toppers from the US charts. Sadly a couple of problems have crept in. "Telstar" has had its wonderful Joe Meek effects lopped off the start and end. The Foundations track is an alternate 1967 take (albeit in stereo) with some decidedly dodgy lead vocals over the original backing. Great though to see Nobby Stiles' decidedly dodgy teeth!  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

Manfred Mann, The Kinks, etc appear on an album with all my favourite songs from an amazing era. Must buy for fans of the sixties.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
