Free Music Notes for Dick Bartley Presents: Classic Oldies 1965-1969Free Music Review: Dick Bartley stands for quality Hit: 5 StarsThe sound quality on this disc is so clean, it will re-introduce you to some classic songs that are a whole lot different without the tape hiss. Nothing short of amazing, and worth every penny since a lot of work was obviously put into this. Forget those sloppy "oldies" collections where the tracks don't keep up with technology. Every track on this disc replaces a now unlistenable version I have on another compilation.
Free Music Review: some good some not so good Hit: 3 StarsI thought this was an average cd for various artists. I really liked to ones I purchased this for but was a little let down by the ones I did not know very well or at all. Overall its alright for a collection.
Free Music Review: Hard To Find 45s on CD Vol 9 1957-1959 Hit: 5 StarsI have been looking for the song Sandy since 1960. I met my future wife just after the song went off the air-waves and her name was Sandy. I have been serching for that song ever since. The rest of the songs were great from that era.
Free Music Review: A great collection of classic oldies Hit: 5 StarsI first began to listen to Dick Bartley's syndicated radio show, "Solid Gold Saturday Night" over 20 years ago while in college. I had always been impressed by his presentation and knowledge of musical trivia. Now he has compiled these classics into a CD. While I think the music speaks for itself: The included CD liner also has nice tid bits of information. For those of us who enjoy the Golden Age of Top 40 music, this is a great collection, with some rather difficult to find tracks. I bought it specifically for the tracks from New Colony Six, which are hard to find.
Free Music Review: Dick Bartley plays Casey Kasum Hit: 3 StarsHere are some of the long forgotten songs of the late 60's pop scene, revisited upon us.
Don't get me wrong, most of these songs I liked back then and still like now. Especially the long forgotten beautiful love ballads by The New Colony Six. (who were they?) But you will remember the songs if you preview listen to them. The incentive for me to purchase this collection was to aquire the song "Peter Rabbit" by DJ and the Runaways. (who were they?) Such "novelty songs" were rife in the 60's pop culture. Flashes in the pan and then forgotten. But they were OUR music back then intertwined by the thousand Coke, Pepsi and Marlboro commercials blaring at us through all those transistors!
Surfing through this collection brought back to me so many songs in my past. Surprises abounded as I reminisced. The only song in this collection I didn't like was "The Clapping Song." Please, let dead things lie in peace, before I throw cockroaches in their coffins!
