5.0 out of 5 stars Sexy and Fun, March 6, 2005

By	Charles Hardin Holley - See all my reviews

This is one of those CD's where you will scratch your head remembering tunes and commercials from the 60's. Some you will never have heard before, as they were never released in the states, others were minor hits, and then there are the blockbusters, such as "Goldfinger." "Girl Don't Tell Me," by Sandy Shaw, "Come and Stay With Me," by Jacke DeShannon, and the Bob Crewe stuff are particular standouts. Add to this mix these zany, sorta sexy commercials and voila, instant party classic for swingers of all age. I got a big kick out of this record. It is fun and amusing, and kinda sexy.

3.0 out of 5 stars + 1/2 stars...A Delightful Collection, February 1, 2005

By	Steve Vrana (Aurora, NE) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

With a wink to HBO's popular series "Sex and the City," Varese Sarabande has compiled nearly an hour's worth of terrific songs and guilty pleasures. While few of these songs were bona fide hits ("Music to Watch Girls By," "Remember (Walkin' In the Sand)," "How Does That Grab You, Darlin'?" and "Goldfinger" charted in the US; "Alfie" and "Girl Don't Come" were UK top ten hits), what Baby Boomer won't recognize the theme music from The Avengers or The Girl From U.N.C.L.E.?

But the real treats are the TV commercial songs like Edie Adams' "Hey Big Spender" (for Muriel Cigars) and "Take It off! Take It All Off!" (for Noxema Shaving Cream). Also, several of these songs are making their CD debut, like Twiggy's 1967 rare debut single "Over and Over" and Donna Loren's "Love's a Secret Weapon" from the 1964 film Bikini Beach. This could quite possibly be the party album of the year! RECOMMENDED

5.0 out of 5 stars Thanks for the SEX, March 29, 2005

By	Wayne Schulman (WOODLAND HILLS, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Hal Lifson has done it again. This is a great trip down memory lane. I have so many visuals to the songs. Fran Jeffries singing Sex and the Single Girl....Edie Adams doing Big Spender with a cigar. Noxema and Take It All Off made me want to shave at the age of nine. And then there is Ann-Margret....is there anyone better? I say NO!!! Hal - this might sound corny - but Thanks For The Memories
