As most people do, we bought this "greatest hits" collection so that we'd have a CD version of one song. But when we played the entire CD, we were transported back to the early 60's in the mid-Atlantic United States. In our hometown, WAMS-1380 ruled the Top 40 airwaves, and the most-requested songs were often regional hits which never made the national charts. This CD brings together a wide variety of regional and novelty songs from that time period. From the haunting "Witchi-Tai-To" to the regional hit "My Boy Lollipop" (which will always remind me of Girl Scout camp in Maryland), this was a genuine blast from the past. Enjoy this CD as a reminder of a time when music was more personal and less "programmed".
I've purchased a few in this series and this Volume 6 compares favorably with the others. It doesn't rate 5 stars due to the fact that I only liked 8 of the 21 tracks. However, considering the price I paid, about $12.00, it was money well spent. My favorites include Lou Christie's Lighting Strikes, The Sandpipers Guantanamera and Millie Smalls My Boy Lollipop with honorable mention going to Tobacco Road by Nashville Teens, The More I see You by Chris Montez and Walk Away Renee by The Left Bank. As usual quality of the track recordings are pristine.

Well packaged and brand new. I was looking for a particular song from the 60's and was pleased to have found it on Ebay. The other songs on the same CD brought back some unexpected memories which was also fun.
l purchased this book primarily for 'Sailor' by Lolita, for myself and a special friend, although there are other tracks on it that l will enjoy. Thank you.
GREAT CD, ORIGINAL RECORDINGS, SOUND BETTER THAN ON THE OLD AM RADIO, MANY SELECTIONS ARE HARD TO FIND ANYWHERE. ED
