British Invasion: 1963-1967 Two centuries after their upstart American colonies showed them the door, the British returned--first to rescue American pop music from the cuddly clutches of manufactured mannequins who'd squandered the promise of Elvis, and then to dominate it well into the '70s and '80s. The i...	Summer Of Love: The Hits of 1967 The Summer of Love had a special look and a special feel, but above all it had a special sound.

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band Before Sgt. Pepper, no one seriously thought of rock music as actual art. That all changed in 1967, though, when John, Paul, George and Ringo (with "A Little Help" from their friend, producer George Martin) created an undeniable work of art which remains, after 30-plus years, one...	Magic Thirty-five years as a justifiable rock musician allows Bruce Springsteen an opinion on the state of over-the-air radio, and he takes it--and takes the medium to the woodshed on the ruthless "Radio Nowhere." The opening smash sets the tone, with the ageless Boss wondering, "Is th...	Traveling Wilburys (2 CD / 1 DVD) The Traveling Wilburys were one of the few supergroups that lived up to their promise, because they didn't try to. Things started inauspiciously when George Harrison, needing a B-side for a 1988 single, called in friends Jeff Lynne, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, and Roy Orbison for assis...	Gold: British Invasion	The Mamas & the Papas - Greatest Hits The Mamas and the Papas had a sound that helped define a portion of the 1960s. Their breezy folk classics had a bit of San Francisco psychedelia woven in, and, despite the sweet harmonies, there was also a noticeably dark feel to some of their more popular work. "California Dream...

1960's Music
Shopped for the best price and this set is awesome. Listen to the cd's quite often. Just bloody great and a wee bit more....yancyd of TN

THE GOOD MUSIC DAYS
What can I add to what allready has been said by other reviewers. I grew up listening to every song on these cds and Im glad I did. Music was great then! Young people now have no idea what they missed. I guess you had to be there.

THE BEST MUSIC OF ALL TIME
I grew up with the britsh groups and these cd's just brought back so many wonderful memories for me. i put these songs on my ipod and listen to them daily.

Disappointing and disjointed
This set tries to cover too much ground, too many years and costs too much with too few songs. 50 minutes a cd is ridiculous for a box set of old songs. Has some nice songs though but sort of covers more than one era as far as I'm concerned. If I were doing this I'd have a box set that didn't go beyond maybe '65. That earlier era, dominated by the pop side of the Beatles and bands like Herman's Hermits, Dave Clark Five, Searchers, Seekers, Mindbenders, Them, early Zombies, Freddie and the Dreamers, Peter and Gordon, early Animals, etc. deserves to be looked at sperate from things like Nights in White Satin. We will soon have a reissue of the Dave Clark Five hits and I will put together my own collection of early pop British Invasion followed by a collection with the bluesier stuff from the period. It's hard for me to go from Mrs Brown to Heart full of Soul on one disc. Although this disc doesn't do that exactly, it does it in principle.

Just what my husband wanted for xmas
We were watching channel 13 concert showing the groups from these cds. My husband wanted to pledge $ to get them. I then ran upstairs, went on amazon, found them and ordered them for x-mas for a fraction of the pledge. My husband was surprised and thrilled. It is his kind of music.
