This is an absolute must for anyone who grew up through the 1950s and ’60s and for whom the music of the times provided a soundtrack to their early lives. This amazing-value 78-track 3-CD set comprises wall-to-wall rock ‘n’ roll classics as well as early Motown hits and pre-Beatles ’60s biggies. It would be a great set to play on a long car journey or at a party, bringing back marvellous memories of those heady days.
