Pop music in the ’60s and ’70s was a kaleidoscope of sound — a dazzling, diverse wonderland unthinkable in today’s world of targeted demographics and niche marketing. While Hard To Find 45s on CD Volume 11: Sugar Pop Classics focused on one sweet slice of pop, Volume 12: 60s & 70s Pop Classics embraces the full spectrum, collecting nearly an hour of wildly varied Top 20 hits seldom found together elsewhere. For example, everyone knows Shirley Ellis’s playful “The Name Game,” but here you’ll rediscover her earlier smash “The Nitty Gritty.” Chris Montez, famed for “Let’s Dance,” also scored five late-’60s pop hits beginning with “Call Me,” featured here. Jay & The Techniques land both of their chart favorites — “Keep the Ball Rollin’” and “Apples, Peaches, Pumpkin Pie” — so there’s no need to hunt down a greatest-hits CD. As promised, 60s & 70s Pop Classics spans every corner of pop: Kenny Nolan’s tender “I Like Dreamin’,” Sandy Posey’s country-tinged “Born a Woman” (in its complete stereo debut), Mocedades’ international gem “Eres Tú,” Coven’s powerful protest anthem “One Tin Soldier” from Billy Jack, and King Harvest’s feel-good favorite “Dancing in the Moonlight.” Eric Records always presents the correct single versions in true stereo. This collection delivers major firsts — including the worldwide stereo debut of Wayne Fontana & The Mindbenders’ #1 smash “Game of Love,” plus Sonny Charles & The Checkmates, Ltd.’s soulful “Black Pearl” (Phil Spector’s final big independent production) in the finest stereo ever released. 60s & 70s Pop Classics maintains the superb sound quality of Eric Records’ entire Hard To Find 45s On CD series and includes a detailed 12-page booklet with artist bios by noted music writer Fred Bronson, who also annotated Volume 11: Sugar Pop Classics.
