Pop Memories Of The 60'S / Various

Great songs.

This collection of cheesy songs transports me to the 1960's when I used to listen to the radio with my mom. She only listened to the mellow, easy listening stuff so this captures that perfectly. I had forgotten about some of these songs but it was totally worth the investment for the nostalgia.

I'm writing this review because some reviews pointed out to bad quality. Because I liked the music listed, I ordered it anticipating technical problems. To my pleasant surprise, there were no problems at all. The fidelity is excellent. There were also no digital problems such as a song skipping. In addition, the music is excellent and is a good cross-section of the type of music ('60's traditional)that it represents

Pop Memories of the '60's is a wonderful set of 10 CDs. Each and every song is a winner. It is a great collection that brings memories with each song. Time-Life has done it well ....once again. My set arrived in less than the time announced...and in excellent condition. The vendor did a great job and the product arrived as described. Well done all around.

The decade of the 60's was rich in great music so you'd think this one would be a slam-dunk and full of great songs. But no, it's almost as if the songs were chosen very lazily and with no passion for the times.For every two great tunes you get, and there are quite a few, you also get a real clunker. What is the old saying..."even a blind squirrel can find an acorn once in awhile". It seems someone was quite blind to all the classics which could have been included on "Pop Memories".I picked this up for way below full price but I'm still disappointed in it. However, to be fair...I noticed that if you can find the extended 18-disc version of this collection you'd likely find it more balanced and complete. More true to the theme Time Life intended. After going through the track list of that collection recently I realized that many of the greats were buried in the more obscure last eight discs of both this collection and their "Flower Power" collection as well.So I'd recommend the full 18-disc collections in both cases.

If you like the 60's you'll love this collection. A great selection of songs. Only snag was when I downloaded the CD's to my computer, some of the play lists did not match up with the songs that were actually on the CD's.. MFG glitch but if that is as bad as it gets...it's all good!

This is not rock-n-roll hits, it is pop hits. I have individual group CDs for the rock-n-roll. I love it. Nostalgia as I get old. Sound is good, no defects in any of the CDs. So much better that the scratchy records I had. Money well spent. I just wish the Wayne Newton hit could be erased. (Man, I really don't like Wayne Newton).

Great songs that bring back so many wonderful memories. I love most of the songs. There are not many that I skip past. I especially love the orchestral songs. These are hard to find and there are several included on this set. It really is a great diverse selection of the 60's.
