Album Description
Dick Bartley, the best-loved oldies DJ in America, presents 18 tracks from the Golden Age of Top 40, a wide open era when bubblegum pop like Boyce & Hart's "I Wonder What She's Doing Tonight" could play alongside crazed psychedelic rock like Arthur Brown's "Fire." In these days of narrow-casting and micro-formatting, Dick Bartley helps us remember what made 60's radio so great. But the fun doesn't stop there! Dick throws in Janis Ian's controversial protest classic, "Society's Child," the Silkie's Top 10 Beatles cover, "You've Got To Hide Your Love Away," Sir Douglas' stoner travelogue, "Mendocino," and Desmond Dekker's 1969 freak reggae smash, "Israelites." Classic Oldies 1965-1969 collects the wildest, best music possible, mirroring the great Top 40 stations of the late 60's. Classic Oldies 1965-1969 has been digitally mastered in true stereo wherever possible. Many songs, such as the I'des Of March's "You Wouldn't Listen" (released years before their best-known hit, "Vehicle") are sought-after rarities, and one track, "Peter Rabbit" by Dee Jay & The Runaways, makes it's CD debut. Two other tracks, Procol Harum's "Whiter Shade Of Pale" and the Troggs' "Love Is all Around" although widely released, have never been available in STEREO in the original versions - until now!

 Great Collection November 13, 2008
Now how can you go wrong with a CD that gives you "The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore" by the Walker Brothers? What a great rendition of a great song.
Like most compilations, you'll get some songs that probably won't overwhelm your interest (Peter Rabbit?), but overall it's a wonderful collection. The Righteous Brothers, The Walker Brothers...and fused well with other era songs. You even get "Fire" from the Crazy World of Arthur Brown.
A very enjoyable CD.
Dick Bartley stands for quality January 17, 2008
The sound quality on this disc is so clean, it will re-introduce you to some classic songs that are a whole lot different without the tape hiss. Nothing short of amazing, and worth every penny since a lot of work was obviously put into this. Forget those sloppy "oldies" collections where the tracks don't keep up with technology. Every track on this disc replaces a now unlistenable version I have on another compilation.
 some good some not so good November 5, 2007
I thought this was an average cd for various artists. I really liked to ones I purchased this for but was a little let down by the ones I did not know very well or at all. Overall its alright for a collection.
Hard To Find 45s on CD Vol 9 1957-1959 October 28, 2007
I have been looking for the song Sandy since 1960. I met my future wife just after the song went off the air-waves and her name was Sandy. I have been serching for that song ever since. The rest of the songs were great from that era.
A great collection of classic oldies July 30, 2007
I first began to listen to Dick Bartley's syndicated radio show, "Solid Gold Saturday Night" over 20 years ago while in college. I had always been impressed by his presentation and knowledge of musical trivia. Now he has compiled these classics into a CD. While I think the music speaks for itself: The included CD liner also has nice tid bits of information. For those of us who enjoy the Golden Age of Top 40 music, this is a great collection, with some rather difficult to find tracks. I bought it specifically for the tracks from New Colony Six, which are hard to find.
