US Columbia record club sampler with one for me unexpected collection of artists from a vast variation of labels. Lots of goodies here. To start with it's nice to get earlier non-LP tracks gathered in one place - e.g. Aretha Franklins 1965 version of "Sweet Bitter Love", Sonny & Cher debute "Baby Don't Go" and Four Seasons "Spanish Lace". But here's also a number of excellent cuts from albums that today can be hard to find - like Count Five "Psychotic Reaction" and The Young Rascals "Come On Up" - topped with a couple of then prominent hits - Doors "Break On Through", Sam & Dave "Hold On I'm Coming" and ? & The Mysterians "96 Tears". Audio shifts a little due to original recordings, but it's enjoyable listening all through. Cover painting by US "pop" artist Bill Bell. Still quite common on auction sites and possible to get a fine copy under $10. So if you can look past the rather cheapish appearance and just want good period music at a low cost it's recommended. Also released as stereo (DS 348). First had label as shown here and thick glossy cover. (SÄM*) (ÖXCÅ*) (YZÄ*)
