Various 1964 Rock, Rhythm & Pop (CD)

When you recall what was happening in popular music in 1964, what’s the first thing that comes to mind? No matter how you answer that question, Hard To Find Jukebox Classics: 1964 has something for you.

Did you immediately think of the British Invasion? Treat yourself to the worldwide stereo debuts of The Animals’ “The House Of The Rising Sun” and Chad & Jeremy’s “Yesterday’s Gone.” Also, the definitive stereo mix of Dusty Springfield’s “I Only Want To Be With You” and hits by The Kinks, Herman’s Hermits (new stereo), and faux-British rockers The Chartbusters (“She’s The One”).

Maybe you thought of the girl-group sound? In that case, check out the stereo debuts of The Ronettes’ “Walking In The Rain” and Diane Renay’s “Navy Blue” alongside hits by Lesley Gore and The Paris Sisters.

Teen pop? Terry Stafford’s Top 3 hit “Suspicion” makes its stereo debut here. Rockabilly? Gene Simmons’ “Haunted House” also appears in first-time stereo. Soul music? How about Alvin Cash & The Crawlers’ “Twine Time” in brand-new stereo? Folk revival? Traditional pop? Blues? Doo-wop? You name it – it’s all here.

Or did you think of surf and hot-rod groups? If that’s your bag, enjoy the stereo debut of The Pyramids’ “Penetration” – as well as Ronny & The Daytona’s “G.T.O.” and The Ventures’ “Walk—Don’t Run ’64.”

For the dedicated singles collector, here are the CD debuts of the much-sought-after “Across The Street (Is A Million Miles Away)” by Ray Peterson and “High On A Hill” by Scott English.

There was a whole lot going on in 1964, and it’s all packed into Hard To Find Jukebox Classics: 1964.
