Few decades have been celebrated as much as the 1960s, and this collection is a time capsule of those years. Songs that continue to resonate down the years are here, whether soul (Ben E. King, Aretha Franklin, Otis Redding), easy listening (Dionne Warwick, The Tremeloes, Helen Shapiro), beat groups (Gerry & The Pacemakers, The Moody Blues, The Searchers), stateside pop (The Monkees, Tommy James & The Shondells), Love) or something a little deeper from towards the end of the decade (Jeff Beck, Spencer Davis Group, Tim Buckley). There are early releases from David Bowie and Genesis, with the themes from The Avengers, James Bond and Thunderbirds also part of this attractive round-up of the music of the 1960s.
