UK sampler with some of the most popular 45 cuts from back in the days, conveyed by very good audio. Die-hard long time collectors of British sixties pop/rock may have most of these recordings already and I do...but a few. The main reason I bought it was to get Twinkle's (born Lynn Annette Ripley 1948-2015) self-penned UK hit "Terry" from 1964 on earliest possible LP, next chance would be on the 1993 RPM compilation "Golden Lights" (CD RPM 108/LP RPMLP 108). Song has a "boyfriend dead in MC crash" motive reminding of Shangri Las "Leader Of The Pack", but as I get it this was released before that. Initially banned by BBC because of "bad taste" but still managed #4 in UK. It also had success in Canada at #5, downunder and a couple of European countries, but didn't make it in US. Recorded with backing by Jimmy Page, Big Jim Sullivan and Bobby Graham among others, the dark motive and sound combined with her seemingly unexperienced young teen voice makes it a lovely song and, at least in my world, a sixties classic. This sampler also originally released on vinyl in Spain, Germany (BLK 16379 -P) and Australia (LKA 4734), but to my knowledge never reissued on vinyl or CD. Premiere UK had label as shown here and laminated flip/back cover. (FÄV*) (SÄM*)
