| Description: | Hard To Find Jukebox Classics 1960-64: 30 Amazing Stereo Hits. From the most iconic drum beat in pop music (the fabulous "Be My Baby" intro) to the instantly recognizable opening chords of "Louie Louie" and "You Really Got Me" (both here in stereo for the first time), this album contains more important pop music history than any CD you'll likely ever own. Our hats are off to the three sound engineers who found and perfected the best sources, meticulously compared them to the original singles and produced in every case the absolute finest sounding versions of these quintessential sixties masterpieces. We're confident that you'll find the extraordinary purity of the sound surpasses whatever you thought was "the best" you'd heard before! Of course, the star attractions here are the amazing 18 Stereo Debuts that read like a who's who of 60s pop & rock: "The Loco-Motion," "Hey! Baby," "Hey Paula," "Little Children," "As Tears Go By" and even two great instrumentals, the sultry sax of "Harlem Nocturne" and the glorious stereo twang and cattle calls of "(Ghost) Riders in the Sky". But we don't mean to forget The Honeycombs' foot-stomper "Have I The Right?" or the thundering drum/guitar/organ intro from "California Sun". You've just never heard them like this! Special mention to the rare super-wide stereo version of "Dawn (Go Away)" and the heavenly harmonies of The Dixie Cups on "Chapel Of Love," at last complete with all their vocal overdubs. There's more, a lot more, so check out the track list and sound samples for this set (To find just Google "Listen + 30 Amazing Stereo Hits"). Simply put, all the songs on this incredible collection sound better than when they were new, better than you remember them, the best they'll ever be! Hearing is believing! Please note: These are only the true, original hit versions - a guarantee you never get from download services like iTunes & Spotify. Includes a 12-page booklet with complete song-by-song annotation and liner notes by Greg Adams.Tracks 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 19, 20, are DES Stereo - The DES (Digitally Extracted Stereo) technique has been used to create the indicated new stereo mixes on this collection (marked STEREO* on the traycard). In the DES process, various instrumental and vocal elements are digitally extracted (filtered) from mono sources and subsequently recombined into a new stereo mix. Not every song is a good candidate for this process-it depends entirely on how well the music was recorded and what instruments were used. Once a song is chosen, it may take an average of 30 to 40 hours to complete an extraction. These stereo mixes offer audiences a fresh, exciting listening experience, and allow them to enjoy their favorite songs in a way never before possible.
Included booklet includes background information on each song and artist"1960-1964-30 Amazing Stereo Hits (CD)" is a compilation that captures the vibrant, transitional years at the beginning of the 1960s, when popular music moved decisively into high-fidelity stereo sound. This CD gathers 30 carefully selected tracks from 1960 to 1964 and presents them in rich stereo mixes that highlight the clarity of vocals, the depth of rhythm sections and the spaciousness of orchestral arrangements. Designed for both nostalgic listeners and collectors, the album offers a broad stylistic cross-section of early-60s pop, rock 'n' roll, teen ballads and radio-friendly hits that defined an era. Instead of focusing on a single artist, the compilation emphasizes variety: lively uptempo numbers sit alongside romantic slow songs, making the disc suitable for relaxed listening, themed parties, or as a musical time capsule of those formative years. The track sequencing is curated to flow smoothly from one song to the next, recreating the feeling of a classic radio program where every title is a recognizable highlight.
