1963 & ’64 were transition years in rock & roll. The British Invasion of America was underway, and this action-packed CD – with 29 original stereo hits, including 10 tracks from the UK – captures the international excitement of the times in breathtaking stereo-fidelity!

As if 73 minutes of music and 20 stereo debuts isn’t enough, here are a few more highlights:

  • Hear the early mono hits by Jay & The Americans and The Seekers, finally in stereo
  • Bobby Rydell’s orchestral masterpiece “Forget Him” and the lovely “So Much In Love” by The Tymes
  • Early surf classics by the Beach Boys and the late Dick Dale, the original surf guitar maestro, who thrills with his incredible performance of “Miserlou” in w-i-d-e stereo!
  • British Invasion classics by The Animals and The Kinks freed from their narrow one-track existence
  • Contemporary TV fans will recognize the rare “Anyone Who Knows What Love Is” by Irma Thomas as used in multiple episodes of “Black Mirror” and many commercials
  • Fans of rare stereo girl-group hits will find the almost avant-garde “Egyptian Shumba” by The Tammys, background singers on Lou Christie’s top hits, an indispensable addition to their collection!
  • For serious collectors, finally here are the correct hit single versions of “I’ll Be There” by Gerry & The Pacemakers along with the iconic “Heat Wave” and “The ‘In‘ Crowd”!

We've meticulously compared all these great records to their original vinyl singles to match the exact speed and edits heard on the radio, and then added true multidimensional stereo! You won’t find these EXCLUSIVE stereo gems online!

Check out the sound samples for each song (on your best system). Includes a 12-page booklet with photos and liner notes by Greg Adams.
