Sixties Jukebox Classics

Search: Roads
by: Various Artists

Release Date November 25, 2002
This is a superb double-CD collection from the sixties. A better than average selection with high quality sound and covering the whole decade. You'll be pushed to find a better collection than this for the money. The selection hangs well together and there's just enough rock and soul mixed in with the pop to illustrate the tremendous changes that were taking place in popular music at that time. Recommended.

The In Crowd

Search: Roads
by: Various Artists

Release Date April 23, 2001
Luckily the time period of this collection ignores the mod revivalist 1980's music of the Jam and subsequent pretenders. What you get here is pretty much an insight into the music of swinging sixties, before all the drugs, hippies and psychedelia took over. Not that there's anything wrong with all that, but this music is particularly of its period and more than any compilation recreates its subject matter in all its glory. A lot of this compilation is American music in particular Soul and R&B, and even Jazz (don't let that put you off, this is far removed from modern Jazz and very much pop music.) What's great about this collection is that unlike the narrower and in my opinion less accesible 'Northern Soul' music a lot of these tracks would have appeared ... Read More:

Tamla Motown Gold: The Sound Of Young America

Search: Roads
by: Various Artists

Release Date November 18, 2001
If you are, like me, old enough to remember when these numbers first came out - or at least covers by the likes of the Beatles (Money and Please Mr Postman) to the Who (Heatwave) via The Spencer Davis group(Every Little Bit Hurts) - then this compilation is a must, even though you'll probably have many or most of the tracks on other CDs and compilations.

Order now - you know you want to.

Hitsville USA: The Motown Singles Collection 1959-1971

Search: Roads
by: Various Artists

Release Date November 22, 1999
well-assembled box set containing just some of Motown's most golden and definitive classics. Nobody knew Motown Records was going to take off in the way it did. Berry Gordy intended to use his artists to break down the then racial barriers, intending to encapsulate a golden and distinct sound that would not only please a black audience but would too appeal to whites. Berry Gordys visions for the company paid off. Key artists like Diana Ross, Marvin Gaye, Smokey Robinson and Stevie Wonder attracted a huge following from both blacks and whites.

Seemingly echoing the restrictions of ghetto life in Detroit (which is where Motown began) was the effective, bluesey Money (Thats What I Want) by Barret Strong, Motowns debut release. There is a raw, earthy ... Read More:

Motown Chartbusters Volumes 1-6

Search: Roads

Release Date November 08, 1999
A fantastic selection of Motown on this bumper 6 C.D. Box Set. Brilliant value for money, as each C.D. only works out at a fiver each. All the Motown greats are here, including Diana Ross & The Surpremes, The Four Tops, Isly Bros. Smokey Robinson, Marvyn Gaye, Stevie Wonder & lots more. There are loads of classic tracks which are just as good to listen to today as they were in the Motown era of the 60`s & early 70`s. This Box Set is the best Motown you are likely to find anywhere. So if you are a Motown fan, go on treat yourself, you won`t regret it.
