Casey Kasem Presents: America's Top Ten - The 60's Motown's Greatest Hits by Various Artists (CD - 0
"Casey Kasem Presents: America's Top Ten - The 60's Motown's Greatest Hits" (05/20/2003) Oldies Various Artists, Top Sail ProductionsIncludes liner notes by Bill Dahl. Liner Note Author: Bill Dahl. Unknown Contributor Roles: The Contours; Gladys Knight & the Pips; Martha & the Vandellas; Junior Walker & the All-Stars; The Marvelettes; Marvin Gaye; Mary Wells; The Miracles; Smokey Robinson & the Miracles; Tammi Terrell; The Four Tops; The Supremes; The Temptations . This is, at best, an average collection of Motown hits. The only difference between this and a host of similar Motown compilations is Casey Kasem's name attached to it. Among the 20 tracks are the same tried and true bunch: "My Guy," "I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie Honey Bunch)," "Stop in the Name of Love," "I Heard It Through the Grapevine." The CD booklet includes photos and quality liner notes by Bill Dahl, but other than that, this is real basic. ~ Al Campbell

"Rock & Roll: The First 50 Years/The Late '60s: 25 Top 10 Hits" (03/01/2005) Oldies Various Artists, Varese Sarabande (USA)Liner Note Author: Bill Dahl. To most observers, the title of Varese's The Late '60s: 25 Top 10 Hits installment of their ongoing Rock & Roll: The First 50 Years series would suggest that the 2005 collection would be filled with trippy psychedelia and acid rock. After all, the late '60s were when rock got heavy and serious, both in sound and sentiment, so it would only make sense that a compilation chronicling that time would also be heavy and serious. However, the late '60s were also the time of light, swinging, cheerfully trippy sunshine pop, bubblegum, pop-soul, and folk-pop, and those are the sounds that hit the charts, so it makes sense that this disc concentrates on this area. The closest this comes to psychedelia is the Youngbloods' "Get Together," the Turtles' "Happy Together" and the Zombies' "Time of the Season," with most of this concentrating on mainstream pop from the likes of Tommy James, Bobby Darin, Blood, Sweat & Tears, Bobby Sherman, and the Buckinghams. There's a surprisingly heavy dose of soul -- including Joe Tex's funky "Skinny Legs and All," the Soul Survivors' hard-hitting "Expressway to Your Heart," and Brenton Wood's "Gimme Little Sign," which is as perfect as music gets -- and is not only a welcome balance to the breezy sunshine pop and lite MOR here, but it helps draw a greater picture of the era. Most of the songs here are quite familiar and easy to find on other collections -- the exceptions are Mercy's "Love (Can Make You Happy)," which rarely shows up anywhere, and "Gimme Little Sign," which isn't on nearly as many comps as it should be -- but this is a well-selected, highly enjoyable set regardless. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Casey Kasem: America's Top 10 Through Years - The 60's by Various Artists (CD - 04/24/2001)
"Casey Kasem: America's Top 10 Through Years - The 60's" (04/24/2001) Oldies Various Artists, Top Sail ProductionsIncludes liner notes by Merrill Shindler. Casey Kasem's America's Top 10 series often has a step or two on its competing retrospectives, and this 1960s volume is no different. It digs no deeper than the play list of your local oldies station, but packs in the hits and varies the styles with little filler. There are fuzzy rock classics from the Troggs, the Yardbirds, and Shadows of Knight, girl group harmony from the Angels ("My Boyfriend's Back"), the Supremes ("Baby Love"), and the smooth R&B of the Rascals ("Groovin'") and Otis Redding ("[Sittin' On] the Dock of the Bay"), not to mention "Bus Stop" by the Hollies, and the Beach Boys' "I Get Around." Casey Kasem: America's Top 10 is a great buy for the casual fan. It even includes liners and artist photos in the CD booklet. ~ Johnny Loftus

Casey Kasem: The 60's #1 Pop Hits by Various Artists (CD - 06/22/2004)
"Casey Kasem: The 60's #1 Pop Hits" (06/22/2004) Oldies Various Artists, Top Sail ProductionsLiner Note Authors: Casey Kasem; Paul Grein. Casey Kasem: The 60's #1 Pop Hits gathers 20 of the most popular singles from that decade including the original versions of "Good Vibrations" (the Beach Boys), "Runaround Sue" (Dion), "Daydream Believer" (the Monkees), "Come See About Me" (the Supremes), "Travelin' Man" (Ricky Nelson) and "The Loco-Motion" (Little Eva). This set is recommended to those who are only in the market for the tried and true hits by these artists. ~ Al Campbell

Top Hits of the Sixties: Coolest Hits by Various Artists (CD - 03/14/2006)
"Top Hits of the Sixties: Coolest Hits" (03/14/2006) Oldies Various Artists, Collectables RecordsTop Hits of the Sixties: Coolest Hits is a solid collection of '60s pop that crosses from bubblegum to more rock-oriented hits. Nicely built around well-known classics such as the Lovin' Spoonful's "Summer in the City" and Ohio Express' "Yummy Yummy Yummy," it also features lesser-known gems like Lorne Greene's "Ringo." While perhaps not as pointed as the Bubblegum Classics collection or as esoteric as the Nuggets boxes, Coolest Hits is a great collection for the casual fan of groovy '60s radio hits. ~ Matt Collar

Top Hits of the Sixties: Groovy Hits by Various Artists (CD - 03/14/2006)
"Top Hits of the Sixties: Groovy Hits" (03/14/2006) Oldies Various Artists, Collectables RecordsTop Hits of the Sixties: Groovy Hits is one of several releases in Collectables' Top Hits of the Sixties series. This eclectic collection of rock, bubblegum pop, soul, and skiffle surveys the wonderful eclecticism that was prevalent throughout the decade. However, the one major flaw in the series seems to be the erratic track sequencing from start to finish. Having employed a sense of chronological progression or theme would have made this CD a lot stronger, as Lonnie Donegan's wonderful "Does Your Chewing Gum Lose Its Flavor (On the Bedpost Overnight)" seems to make a jarring transition and horrifying juxtaposition when placed next to the soulful rendition of "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" performed by Gladys Knight & the Pips. Overall, it's a wonderful compilation filled with top-notch songs. But having a custom program function on your CD player will make listening to this even more enjoyable. ~ Rob Theakston

Top Hits of the Sixties: Amazing Hits by Various Artists (CD - 03/14/2006)
"Top Hits of the Sixties: Amazing Hits" (03/14/2006) Oldies Various Artists, Collectables RecordsCollectables' Top Hits of the Sixties: Amazing Hits does indeed provide original recordings of some of that decade's biggest hits, including James Brown's "I Got You (I Feel Good)," Steam's "Na Na Hey Hey (Kiss Him Goodbye)," the Supremes' "Baby Love," and Roger Miller's "King of the Road." However, the collection's selections and track sequencing are somewhat random, bouncing from songs like Patsy Cline's "Crazy" to Len Barry's "1-2-3" with little rhyme or reason. Aside from featuring lots of '60s hits, the album doesn't really offer a cohesive listening experience, although it does feature hits like the Mamas & the Papas' "Monday Monday," Sam the Sham & the Pharaohs' "Woolly Bully," and Hugh Masekala's "Grazing in the Grass." While it's too scattered to work as a proper collection, Top Hits of the Sixties: Amazing Hits has enough classic singles to make it worthwhile if you've been looking for some of the songs it features. ~ Heather Phares

Top Hits of the Sixties: Chart Toppers by Various Artists (CD - 03/14/2006)
"Top Hits of the Sixties: Chart Toppers" (03/14/2006) Oldies Various Artists, Collectables RecordsCollectables' Top Hits of the Sixties: Chart Toppers does indeed provide original recordings of some of that decade's biggest hits, including Roy Orbison's "Oh Pretty Woman," the Byrds' "Mr. Tambourine Man," the Statler Brothers' "Flowers on the Wall," and Paul Revere & the Raiders' "Kicks." However, the collection's selections and track sequencing are somewhat random, bouncing from songs like the Isley Brothers' "It's Your Thing" to the Cyrkle's "Red Rubber Ball" with little rhyme or reason. Aside from featuring chart-topping hits, the album doesn't really offer a cohesive listening experience, although it comes close toward the end, where a string of folk and country singles -- including the Brothers Four's "Greenfields," Marty Robbins' "Don't Worry," and Johnny Horton's "Sink the Bismarck" -- work well together. While it's too scattered to work as a proper collection, Top Hits of the Sixties: Chart Toppers has enough classic singles to make it worthwhile if you've been looking for some of the songs it features. ~ Heather Phares

Top Hits of the Sixties: Absolute Hits by Various Artists (CD - 03/14/2006)
"Top Hits of the Sixties: Absolute Hits" (03/14/2006) Oldies Various Artists, Collectables RecordsTop Hits of the Sixties: Absolute Hits is a better-than-average single disc highlighting 20 pop singles released in the early to middle part of that decade. Along with a few of the tried-and-true radio classics by Dion, Chiffons, and the Beach Boys are less-than-obvious inclusions by Oliver ("Jean"), Cher ("Bang Bang [My Baby Shot Me Down]"), Vikki Carr ("It Must Be Him"), and Ferrante & Teicher ("Exodus"). These are the original recordings and, with the exception of substandard packaging, this disc is recommended. ~ Al Campbell The Collectables series Extreme Hits of the Sixties showcases an interesting hodgepodge of classic songs on each disc that range from the na?ve pop of the early part of the decade to the more socially conscious work of the latter part. As such, the discs cut a wide stylistic swath from surf music and rock & roll to soul and country. Extreme Hits of the Sixties, Vol. 2 is no exception, featuring such varied hits as the Beach Boys' "Good Vibrations," Oliver's 1969 version of Rod McKuen's "Jean," and Nat King Cole's "Ramblin' Rose." Despite the lack of any liner-note information, save for a track listing, these discs make for great aural time capsules. ~ Matt Collar
