A kind of follow-up to the "The 60s Pop Annual" I posted a while ago. That carried thirty true classics from the decade and here's thirty more of the same dignity. This time with the track choice more towards psych. A1,3,4,5/B 1-8/C3/D1,2,3,4 comes in mono, the rest true stereo. Have no means to sort out exactly which edits of the songs were used or why, but it could be they just picked the best sounding ones. In any case it's nice to have the mono takes of The End "Shades Of Orange", Marmalade "I See The Rain", Easybeats "Friday On My Mind", "Small Faces "Afterglow" and 13th Floor Elevators "You're Gonna Miss Me" all in the same place. And the stereo versions of Byrds "So You Wanna Be A Rock'n'Roll Star", Jefferson Airplane "White Rabbit", Spirit "Fresh Garbage" and The Gun "Race With The Devil" sounds very good here too. Audio shifts a little depending on origin, but non even close to bad and most tophole, especially the mono takes. E.g. - always had a thing for Marmalade's sweet guitar psych "I See The Rain" and here's the best I've heard it so far. It may be I already have most of these songs, but to get such a string of sixties hits, analog on vinyl with top audio, still makes it worth while for me. To my knowledge this was the only issue. It came with labels as shown here on thick unflexible vinyl in a stickered matt fold/out cover with glossy inners. (SÄM*)
Thanks for posting this - it's a really good selection of tracks. I just ordered the last copy on Amazon UK!
SvaraRaderaIt is a good selection and they all sound great too. I had a friend over for a listening session some days ago and when he heard that he picked up his phone and ordered it directly.
RaderaYou were lucky to find the last on Amazon. But I've seen Ginza still has copies for order.
