Synopsis

Album Description
59 hits from the decade that put the message in music! The ?60s were the most turbulent decade of the 20th century, with the civil rights movement, the Vietnam War, and the sexual revolution all upsetting the status quo that had settled in during the Eisenhower era. Luckily, turmoil makes for great music, and the artists of the ?60s rose to the challenge by putting messages?of anger and fear, happiness and peace?into their music. The ?60s Rock Explosion, a companion piece to the hit PBS special, collects some of the most memorable songs from that magical era into a blast from the past that still has the power to move us today.

CD Reviews

Not full length songs
B. Campbell | Encino, CA United States | 03/23/2005
(2 out of 5 stars)

"Just got this 3 set (CDs). (March 2005). Rip off if you are expecting full length songs....

Superb Collection
Stephen R. Winham | Saint Francisville, LA USA | 04/20/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Nobody who lived through the 60s could fail to be moved and taken back by this collection!! It seriously kicks. Both the selections and the order of presentation are excellent. I would highly recommend this set to anybody who was of high school and/or college age during the period and particularly if you were both like me. The 60s was a seriously unique time that deserves the reflection this wonderful collection evokes."
Do You REALLY Need the Side-Long Version of "In-A-Gadda-Da-V
Steve Vrana | Aurora, NE | 01/01/2010
(4 out of 5 stars)

"WHO is voting helpful for the two-star review?!! The gist of that review consists of nine words:



"Rip off if you are expecting full length songs...."



And the truth is these ARE full length songs. There are only three songs (out of the 59 included in this set) that are not the full album versions. They are "Signs," "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" and "Sky Pilot." And all three of these songs are included in their single-edit versions. Sure, FM radio might have played the album track, but in the sixties AM radio still ruled the airwaves. So if you had these tunes cranked up on your car radio while cruising main street on a Saturday night, these are the versions you heard. So it's wrong to think of these as not being full length. (Besides, did you REALLY want to hear the 17:05 side-long version of "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida"?)



Bottom line? Working with licensing restrictions, Shout! Factory has done a nice job of presenting a glimpse of THE '60s ROCK EXPERIENCE. Enjoy! RECOMMENDED"
