VA Hard To Find 45s On CD Volume 2

In early 2018, Eric Records revisited one of our most popular early collections to improve the overall sound and upgrade specific tracks. Originally released in 1996, this collection offers 21 hard-to-find pop hits from the early sixties, 12 in full stereo. This newly re-mastered CD contains the ORIGINAL HIT SINGLE versions of #1 hits like “Sugar Shack” by Jimmy Gilmer & The Fireballs, “Wooden Heart” by Joe Dowell, “I Will Follow Him” by Little Peggy March and “Dominique” by The Singing Nun. Every song has been lovingly re-mastered from the original master tapes for brilliant clarity and full, rich sound.

Here's a real grab bag of Top 40 hits from 1960 to 1966, some of them indeed very hard to find on CD or even hear on the radio. Some of them are not really not that hard to find on CD, though this disc (like every one in this series) takes pains to present original 45 RPM single versions, often in stereo.

Twenty-one more really-hard-to-find high-charting Sixties Classics, most in stereo, all superbly mastered from the absolute best sources available! These have never sounded better!

Fans of this critically acclaimed series have been waiting a decade for Eric Records to deliver more sonic sensations and stereo rarities from the late 1960s. Now it’s here – Hard to Find 45s on CD, Vol. 17: Late Sixties Classics – and it’s spectacular! You’ll hear 21 beautifully remastered songs, 16 of which were Top 10 hits and 8 that appear in stereo for the first time ever!

Here’s another ultra-high quality collection from Eric, the first one to venture into the SEVENTIES. Seventeen of these songs made the Billboard Top 20! As usual, all recordings have been digitally remastered from the best available sources in true stereo.

The 1950s were fun, the 1960s were wild, and the 1970s were decadent. But the 1980s? The ’80s were big: Big hair; big shoulder pads; big, booming music; and big changes. MTV, compact discs, and digital sampling were brand new, and FM radio blasted the hits of the day to nerds, preppies, and punks alike.

Do you ever feel like those standard hits-of-the-70s compilations don’t quite capture the 1970s that you remember? Do you feel like many of your personal favorites, even when they were big hits, are rarely if ever included? That’s why we created Hard To Find 45s On CD, Volume 18: 70s Essentials – to bring back all those seldom-heard classics that other collections seem to have forgotten. And we make them sound better than ever!
