Bringing you the very best of the 60s, 70s,80s and 90s
The Greatest collection bring together the very best hits from the very best artists for each decade the ‘60s, ‘70s,’80s and ‘90s. The four albums are released on 6th September.
The 60s
The Greatest 60s double album features all that was great forty years ago with artists that represent both the Atlantic Crossing and the British Invasion.
The Atlantic Crossing CD features key players like Cher (pre Sonny Bono), uber-girl group The Chiffons, country hero Glen Campbell and rock ‘n’ rollers like Fats Domino, Del Shannon and Eddie Cochran. Stand out tracks include the still-classic floorfiller ‘Locomotion’ from Little Eva and the definitive Beach Boys track, ‘Good Vibrations’
However, if you’re more interested in the British Invasion, you have a slew of tracks that represent the movement spearheaded by the Beatles. From the Hollies to the Animals, from Lulu to Cilla Black, from Manfred Mann to Herman’s Hermits whatever your taste is in 60s cool Britannia, it’s featured here. Special nods go to key tracks like Jeff Beck’s classic ‘Hi Ho Silver Lining’ and Donovan’s ‘Mellow Yellow’.
In total, The Greatest 60s features 24 UK top 10 hits, 16 of which also went top ten in the US.
See below for tracklisting.
The 70s
A key decade in the evolution of popular music, the ‘70s saw a battle of the titans between the angst of rock and the euphoria of disco. Naturally, both genres are featured on The Greatest 70s which once again pulls together key tracks from both sides of the Atlantic.
When it comes to rock, nobody does it better than Blondie, the Glitter Band and T.Rex who gave it a bit of glamour, or the Stranglers, Ian Dury and Elvis Costello or who gave it a bit of realism. All are featured here.
When it comes to disco and some careless abandonment, you have it with soul from Tavares, MacFadden and Whitehead, Frantique and George McCrae and with a UK-flavour thanks to Hot Chocolate and Kenny.
The Greatest 70s Album includes no fewer than 29 top 10 hits with number ones coming from Wizzard (‘Angel Fingers’), Edison Lighthouse (‘Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes)’), George McCrae (‘Rock Your Baby’) and Suzi Quatro (‘ Can The Can’) and Hot Chocolate (‘So You Win Again’).
