Customer Reviews

raves from the grave
I have most of these songs on 45rpm and as such I wanted to bring my collection up to date media-wise. It is a great mix of songs but my biggest disappointment is one which seems to be common with these compilations. The producers try to improve the quality of the original disc to appeal to modern tastes. I have yet to find one instance where this has worked. In this case "Treat her right" and "Baby scratch my back" in my opinion have had the treatment. Whatever has happened to the raucous horn riff? And why is Slim now sounding as if he is singing in the bathroom?
That aside if you are interested in 60's soul, rnb or rock n roll crossover you should buy this.

The follow up to the near faultless "In Crowd - The Ultimate Collection" from the original style movement 1958-1967
The "In Crowd - The Ultimate Collection" from the original style movement 1958-1967 was a monumental music collection, and the fact that it managed to collect such a wide and eclectic movement made the album essential. What stood out was the fact that the album for the most part stayed away from the obvious tracks and wasn't simply a greatest hits of the sixties album. This collection is a true follow up and cd 1 and two are in fact titled cd 5 and 6. Thankfully the cd cases are digipack, not the flimsy card that came with the previous set. This collection also sets the net slightly wider, covering 1954 (though these earlier records would only be released in the Uk in the 1960's) up until 1968. Unlike the previous collection some blues legends are included such as Muddy Waters, Bo Diddley and Howlin Wolf. Once again several Motown artists show up represented by some more obvious tracks (please Mr postman, its the same old song, needle in a haystack, uptight) and some essential classics that are less well-known (Heaven must have sent you, just walk in my shoes and i'll keep holding on, as covered by true-mods the Action.) Noticeable is the fact that there are few UK artists here; John Mayall and Chris Farlowe, Small Faces and Spencer Davis Group. The John Mayall songs are always top notch however I still can't see why Chris Farlowe has once again been included while important artists such as Pretty things, PP Arnold, Sorrows, Creation or the (underrated) Birds have this time been ommitted. Neither does there seem much point in the Spencer Davis Group song as the original (and superior) version is on the previous collection, and there are several more noteworthy Spencer Davis songs. As far as I can tell there are no Atlantic records represented here either. I suppose that this is not really a bad thing as the point about buying an album such as this is to discover artists and songs that may have passed by your radar. For example the Timebox song is something that I was well impressed by despite the fact that I would usually avoid the band like the plague (they did a dreadful version of The Detroit Spinner's "i'll always love you".) Bobby McClure's Peak of Love has also stood out, reminding me of Otis Redding's "love man". Like its predecessor this album is an eclectic mix of rare and well-know hits and some hit and miss tracks. Overall it's a great sixties album (which in itself is quite a rarity) without any Beatles, Kinks, Rolling Stone, Byrds, Dylan, Animals, Hollies or Beach Boys tracks in sight. No psychedelic or introspective music either, just great songs that would have filled the dancehalls of any self-respectign sixties club. A top collection, and an essential addition to the previous collection.
