Various Artists - Hard To Find 45s On Cd V17: Late Sixties / Var (CD)

Details: Eric Records' famous "Hard to Find on 45s" series revisits the trippy late '60s for the first time in a decade with stunning results. No fewer than 8 SPECTACULAR STEREO DEBUTS, including the #1 hit "Incense & Peppermints" (Strawberry Alarm Clock) and garage-rock faves "Psychotic Reaction" (The Count Five) and "You're Gonna Miss Me" (13th Floor Elevators). More new stereo from the British invasion includes "A Groovy Kind of Love" (Mindbenders), "Gimme Some Lovin'" (Spencer Davis Group), "The Mighty Quinn" (Manfred Mann), and the novelty "Winchester Cathedral" (The New Vaudeville Band). But the star of the show is the brilliantly restored "MacArthur Park" by Richard Harris, which has never sounded anywhere near this good on CD. No other label spends as much time on meticulous sound mastering as Eric's engineers to ensure that every track matches or exceeds the quality of the original hit single. 21 carefully selected songs. Eric.
