Of all compilations I have or have had through the years this is certainly top ten. German 2-LP carrying some of the best British pop and rock from the sixties. Twentyfour cuts equally divided by three each from Manfred Mann, Johnny Kidd & The Pirates, Swinging Blue Jeans, Georgie Fame, Gerry And The Pacemakers, Billy J. Kramer, Peter & Gordon and Freddie And The Dreamers. All conveyed by original mono mixes with absolutely smashing audio. No need to jump tracks here, it's all going in like a big charm. You get five Lennon McCartney covers. Three by Billy J. Kramer - "Bad To Me", I Call Your Name" and "Do You Want To Know A Secret" - and two by Peter & Gordon - "A World Without Love" and "Nobody I Know". Further I can also enjoy Johnny Kidd & The Pirates rude version of "Shakin' all Over", Gerry and The Pacemakers sweet "Ferry Cross The Mersey, Swinging Blue Jeans simple but super catchy "Hippy Hippy Shake", Manfred Mann's delectable "Pretty Flamingo" and the rest as much or more. No true rarities here, but getting some of the best and most loved from the period, carried like this, is certainly enough for me. Happy happy! To my knowledge this German vinyl was the only issue. It came with label as shown here in a laminated fold/out cover with presentation of all acts, in English and German, inside. (SÄM*) (GÖXÄ*)
