Mixed Blessings
Rating: 4/5
There are a lot of great ole songs on this album that give me great joy to play. I didn't give this five stars because of the song slection in total analysis. Considering the bountiful number of treasured songs that came in the British invasion, I was shocked to hear some duds on this album. They could have replaced those with some much better samples of the invasion. They could also have expanded the invasion another year or two in the timeline to say 68. The songs by Gerry & the Pacemakers alone, make this worth the purchase, and actually 80% of the songs are great. You'll enjoy it, but it could have been even better.

OLDIES that never fade
Rating: 5/5
I have enjoyed so many different types of music throughout the years and the older songs still have a fond place in my heart. Some of the songs will forever put a smile on my face, no matter how old I get. This CD contains so many of those good songs.
Troggs, Hollies, Searchers, Donovan, Seekers, The Who, Eric Burdon and the Animals...all great artists!

cool tunes
Rating: 4/5
This album has really hip sounds and the lyrics are far out. It has a groovy beat and it's easy to dance to....
Seriously, I really dig John Lennon's vocal on "Ain't She Sweet." This is very classic ultra-Early Beatles. This track was the first thing about this disc that got my attention, but there are also many other great hits, absolute staples of the British Invasion era music:
Freddie and the Dreamers' "I'm Telling You Now", The Hollies' "Bus Stop" and "Game of Love", "Groovy Kind of Love," "Ferry Cross the Mersey"....This CD has many of the most important recordings of that magical era. Essential
And the CD quality of the music means this is the best I've ever heard some of these songs sound. It's also interesting to hear Cat Stevens doing his own version of his "First Cut Is the Deepest" hit.

Great compilation including some hard-to-find tracks
Rating: 5/5
I originally ordered this as a gift for a friend, but after listening to her copy, bought it for myself. The 2 disc collection offers an excellent compilation, including some that are indispensible and others that are very hard to find without buying an entire album by the artist. Most of the tracks sound as good as you're likely to ever hear them, considering their age and the technological limitations of the time. As always with such compilations, one can quibble over the inclusion or exclusion of certain songs, but this collection is essential for any fan of British rock of the 60's and 70's.
