The 1 May Night Thread of “24 Golden Greats of the 60’s” by K-Tel

We’re back to the 60’s! Unbelievably, this compilation shares no tracks with the 60 Flash-Back Greats of the 60’s that I covered back in February, and it doesn’t even repeat any artists. It’s apparent that K-Tel was on a mission to compile every single issued in the 60’s.

Marmalade– Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da
Tremeloes– Suddenly You Love Me
Gary Puckett– Lady Willpower
Love Affair– Everlasting Love
Christie– Yellow River
Searchers– When You Walk In The Room
Bobby Vinton– Roses Are Red
Billy Joe Royal– Down In The Boondocks
Donovan– Universal Soldier
Marcie Blaine– Bobby’s Girl
Chambers Bros– I Can’t Turn You Loose
Del Shannon– Runaway
Sly & The Family Stone– Dance To The Music
Equals– Baby Come Back
Shocking Blue– Venus
James Darren– Goodbye Cruel World
Coasters– Charlie Brown
Bruce Channel– Hey Baby
Tony Orlando– Bless You
Jimmy Justice– Spanish Harlem
Byrds– Turn Turn Turn
Tim Rose– Morning Dew
Blood, Sweat & Tears– Spinning Wheel
Fleetwood Mac– Albatross

So many good ones here, but my favorite is The Coasters’ “Charlie Brown” (actually released in January 1959). Which one is your favorite?
