5 out of 5 stars A seminal year in pop history.......2005-04-13

In 1967, so many things happened in pop music, some ephemeral (like flower power) and some that had a profound effect on the music industry like the release of the Sergeant Pepper album by the Beatles. It is impossible to do more than provide a taste of 1967's music in just twenty tracks (especially as Beatles tracks are never licensed for compilations like this) but this collection provides a good sample.

In the UK, only fifteen records occupied the UK number one spot in 1967 (that includes Green green grass of home, which reached number one in 1966 but stayed there until mid-January of 1967). All of them are easy to find on CD but only one of them (Whiter shade of pale) is actually included here. Standing in the shadows of love, Zabadak, Ha ha said the clown, I was made to love her, Hole in my shoe, Reflections and Dedicated to the one I love all made at the top five in the UK.

Every track here made the top thirty or better. Some tracks (like Pamela Pamela, which just missed the UK top ten) don't come round very often on various artists compilations and it's nice to see them here.

This is not the definitive album of 1967 - flower power is un-represented and only one UK number one hit is included. Nevertheless, the music here is of a high quality and well worth the price.
