Various Artists – 25 Hits Of The Sixties – Volume Two – Disc 4 (late 80´s)

Compilations of UK hits from the “roaring sixties” have been very popular for a long time … and that’s a good thing … because the “roaring sixties” were a very important phase in the history of popular music.

They can be used to get an overview of this decade.

But these are not the original recordings of the time, but cheap re-recordings with unknown studio musicians ! (mostly)

Unfortunately, this happens again and again … just to rake in a little money again.
So: Attention please !

This article only serves to show how the music industry wants to cheat us.

I have three more CDs from this series … I will present them here in the course of the next weeks … before I throw them all away.

But: So I have at least discovered some artists I didn’t know before, such as Vanity Fare and Polly Brown.

And some songs was orignal released in the Seventies (“Save Me”) !

Listen to the original … they are so much better !
