VA - Hard To Find 45s On CD, Vol. 5: Sixties Pop Classics (2000)

You don't think of these 20 songs as being missing in action until you realize that most -- if not all of them -- just don't pop up on oldies anthologies very often. A wide-net approach like this that pairs "I Got You Babe" next to Bill Cosby's "Little Ole Man," with stops along the way to great one-offs from Joannie Sommers, Bob Luman, the Cookies, Nino Tempo and April Stevens, R.B. Greaves, Connie Stevens, the Marketts, Carla Thomas, the Cookies, and the Everly Brothers. A great little collection of sides that usually don't make the rounds, all in crystal-clear stereo except for five tracks presented in the original mono mixes.
