has Billy Stewart's "Summertime" in it is a collection that is WELL WORTH PURCHASING! And for an gal like me who LOVES her oldies and LOVES them with a summer "flava", this is a WINNER!!

The original hits by the original stars, this 18 track CD provides a solid collection of summer songs from Eddie Cochran's 50's hit "Summertime Blues" to the Beach Boys, War, Sly, and Lesley Gore.
A good package of summer tunes perhaps only superseded by "25 All-Time Greatest Summer Songs" on the Varese Sarabande label with its original
hits and artists.

This CD is a lot of fun. It features "summer" themed songs from many different genres. There is not a bad song in the bunch here. Many of the songs here are acknowledged classics, like "California Sun", "Summer in the City" and "Summertime Blues". But it also includes some lesser know gems, like "I Live For the Sun", "Beach Party" and "California Nights". This CD is perfect for your summer beach party.

This is a really fun compilation of some of the best summer-themed songs around. However, I can think of plenty more that would be great on other volumes-for example; Sealed With A Kiss(preferably the Brian Hyland version), See You In September-The Happenings, Lazy Day-Spanky & Our Gang, Vacation-The Go-Gos, One Summer Night-The Danleers, Summertime USA-The Pixies, Short Shorts-The Royal Teens, Under The Boardwalk-The Drifters-and ON & ON...I have enough songs in mind for at least 2 more volumes-so how's about it, RHINO? Anyway, this is definitely a worthwhile collection to enjoy whether at the beach, lake, pool or just hanging out on your deck or front porch. Let's hope this is re-issued soon. Highly recommended.
