Editorial Reviews

The Summer of Love had a special look and a special feel, but above all it had a special sound. This collection of 40 hits on 2 CDs recaptures that sound and the DVD features performances by some of your favorites like Jefferson Airplane, the Doors, the Rolling Stones and more.

5.0 out of 5 stars A look at this cool set in video, September 29, 2007

This review is from: Summer Of Love: The Hits of 1967 (Audio CD)

Length:: 0:30 Mins

This is a video of this Summer of Love set. The music is great and the attached booklet has a slice of history. This video just shows me flipping through the set. It has no music or video samples due to copyrighted content.

In my opinion, this set is worth buying just for watching the documentary on the Rock and Roll through the 60s. Watching Jim Morrison's "When the Music's Over" (Doors) and Jimi Hendrix in action is hypnotizing. Also included in the DVD is Janis Joplin's rendering of Ball and Chain and Santana, the Who, Rolling Stones. This documentary really brings home the freedom of expression that was unique to that time in the 60s. 40 years later most of songs are still as popular as ever.

The AM and FM CD each have 20 songs, which played on the airwaves in 1967. The last 3 pages of the attached 40 page book has the discography with the highest billboard chart position for each song.

This is a great compilation. Even if you have some of the songs already, the versions here are crystal clear sounding. Someone obviously took great care in the remastering. It even has the "original" version of "Brown Eyed Girl", something that you can't even get on Van Morrison CDs.
