Originally released in 2000, this collection offers 20 hard-to-find ’60s pop hits from the Atlantic, Atco, and Warner Brothers vaults. In 2010, Eric Records revisited one of our most popular early collections to improve the overall sound and upgrade many tracks from better source tapes, like “Johnny Get Angry” by Joanie Sommers, “B-A-B-Y” by Carla Thomas, and “Sixteen Reasons” by Connie Stevens.
This newly remastered CD offers the original hit single versions of hard-to-find hits like “Al Di La” by Emilio Pericoli, “Angel on My Shoulder” by Shelby Flint, and “Let’s Think About Living” by Bob Luman, as well as the iconic “I Got You Babe” by Sonny & Cher. Collectors will want rare tracks like Rose Garden’s “Next Plane To London” and the doo-wop classic “Looking For An Echo” by Kenny Vance.
Every song has been lovingly remastered from the original master tapes for stunning clarity and rich sound. All but five tracks are in stereo.
