If you're a vinyl lover into pop music as it was made pre-1970, but feel you miss many of the big hits issued back then, or just curious about the background to today's pop market and want the real deal...this could be for you. Philips 9-LP sampler covering the years 1944-69, carrying original takes of 120 from the label's and its subsidiaries biggest sellers from then. Impossible for me to go through it all here, just check the song list below and see. I'm delighted to take a stroll down memory lane with a couple I didn't have before, like Paul & Paula "Hey Paula", The Platters "Only You" and "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes", The Merseys "Sorrow", Millie "My Boy Lollipop", Ann Shelton "Sailor" and Blue Mink "Melting Pot", but that's just me. I guess who ever you are there's gotta be something here. The cuts come with a blend of more or less enhanced mono and true stereo. The audio shifts a little, but most of it tophole. A Dutch project, also issued there in a 9xCassette box (7649 107) and in Germany as an 8xLP box (664 1204). Dutch vinyl came with labels as shown here in a fully laminated box. Each album inside in shrink with polylined inners and rears having images and track list including year and place on the US and/or UK top lists. With all CD compilations and downloads that's showed up last couple of decades I know releases like this often are put down by many collectors, but for this vinyl freak who like to dig deep wherever he stands it's grand.
