POP HISTORY/THE FABULOUS 60'S AND 70'S BEAT, POP, FLOWER POWER ELP 1001 (-90) UK MONO + STEREO

 


 A K-tel project initially sold by TV-ads only.  May have been a cheapish run-of-the-mill affair back then, but today remaining as a good catalogue of UK hits in the sixties and seventies.  Five LP:s including eighty numbers of which anyone musically present at the time would know and maybe cherish at least fifty.  Can't mention them all, but please check the listing below.  I have so many favorites here. Songs I spent a large part of my teens with and know by heart, plus others I forgot about but now get a chance to relive.  Even if I have some of the cuts on LP already it can be refreshing to get them in a new environment.  Record 4, side two, is one exemple. To hear Searchers "Needles And Pins", Small Faces "Lazy Sunday", Easybeats "Friday On My Mind", Status Quo "Pictures Of Matchstickmen", Zombies "She's Not There", Turtles "Elenore", Fleetwood Mac "Man Of The World" and The Nice "Hang On To A Dream" all in a row,  one killer after another, just warms my soul. Some of the older tracks appear in mono but larger part come as stereo. Audio not top of the line, but most totally ok and non bad. Certainly good enough to allow contact and rekindling.  If you belong to the era and still prefer vinyl it could be something.  Also issued in Germany, with partly different tracking, as 5xLP, 5xCassette or 4xCD.  This UK also as 4xCD. Premier UK vinyl came with labels  in five different colors - orange, blue, pink, green and yellow - in a glossy single cover and insert with further info on the songs. (SÄM*)
