Jon Savage follows up last year’s “1966” set with a similarly packaged 2CD anthology of hits and rarities from 1967. There is no accompanying book this time – so you’ll have to buy this to read all about it in his sleeve notes. In a nutshell: Now typified as the year of flower power, 1967 was the year the 60s divided. During those 12 months, the revenues from LP sales in Britain finally overtook those from 45s. It’s also the year when the British singles charts suddenly revealed a vacuum that, in March 1967, was filled by a Top 10 that included Englebert Humperdinck, Petula Clark, Harry Secombe, Vince Hill, the Seekers and other mums and dads records that you will not be hearing on this compilation.

The "forgotten" series from NOW has been great. We have now reached the 1960s and there are many forgotten gems on here. But they do say that if you can remember the 60's you weren't there. There are some, I must admit, I have never heard of and most of this seems a bit middle of the road and listening today it is clean quite how and why The Beatles had such a massive impact.
