Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Great music from a great Chicago band.......2006-04-10

This music takes you right back to the Chicago of the 1960's. With an eerie-sounding organ playing in the background, the album starts out with a hypnotic tune that was a big hit locally, "I Confess," followed soon by a another hit track with a similar sound, "I Lie Awake." Other well-known songs, that were also national hits, were the dreamy ballads "I Will Always Think About You" and "Things I'd Like to Say." Like many listeners of that time, I too heard many of these songs for the first time on the Windy City radio station WLS. Whenever I hear these songs I always think of the sights and sounds of Chicago.

5 out of 5 stars there was only 1 WLS.......2005-11-04

was just reading the reviews of this cd and it made me feel so nostalgic that i have to add my own to the list.

i never cease to be surprised how many other people throughout the country waited for the sun to go down and WLS to come on at '89. it was like a miracle--one minute there was nothing but static and noise--and the next there was the greatest radio ever. i started with ron riley and art roberts and was still hanging around at the end of 1989 with john landecker.

those were the days of real radio--not programming companies in seattle that make every station play the same playlist and not dj's who get to read a liner and then aren't allowed to talk.

radio stations had their own personality and their own playlists and broke their own records in their market.

which leads to this wonderful cd and the joy of hearing all the new colony six records on WLS.

growing up in rural western kentucky we knew the chicago bands as well as anyone in chicagoland. american breed--buckinghams--shadows of knight--cryan shames and of course new colony 6. i remember the early stuff--"I confess"--"let me love you" and it was fine. but the ballads--oh my! they were simple and yet beautiful. delicious tennage angst! in a parked car under the stars these songs were the soundtrack of many a french kiss and decent grope. on the dance floor if you had pitch you could softly sing along to "i will always think about you" close to your date's ear and become a romantic.

in 1968--age 16--i was hired as a dj at a local radio station that played top 40--and they let me pick my music--heaven on earth. amazingly our playlist included all the chicago bands that we heard after dark on WLS. we didn't care what billboard magazine said was no. 1.

my greatest dream at that time was to live in chicago--visit WLS and go to all these great "battle of the band" shows. this cd takes me back to that time and reading these other reviews lets me know that there were a lot of us that knew we were living in a special time. no--you can't go back there--but you can turn the lights down and turn up the stereo with this cd on--and for a few minutes smell "heaven scent" perfume and think about getting your tux at "carole's red hanger shoppes" and your new stereo at "playback--the electronic playground".

5 out of 5 stars Good but not worth the price!.......2005-07-31

This cd is a no doubt good but it's not worth paying $ 96.00 for it. After all this band it's not from out of space or another galaxy!

5 out of 5 stars Nice to see and hear this collection.......2005-07-25

As a member of the forgotten group that opened for the NC6 during the summer of 1967, I was so pleased to see that Rhino has done a mostly outstanding job of capturing their magic.

If you like their recordings, you would have been completely blown away by their live performances. Truly superb showmanship and amazing to watch! Too bad nobody was recording their stage magic.
