What you are about to see is a list of oldies songs from my record collection (LP's, 45's, demo's, promo's and a couple of CD's).You'll find songs from three decades here, but the focus is on sixties music. In percentage this comes down to 1950s (4%), 1960s(90%) and 1970s (6%).
What's the purpose of posting a music collection on the www ? Well...I've been collecting sixties music for over 20 years and people kept asking me "what do you have?" or "did he/she sang that?", "What year was that song recorded?" etc... That's the reason this website was created.
See cool java-based intro with lots of obscure sixties LP covers...
male/female vocal - girl groups - straightforward
melodic pop - psychedelic - pop/psyche stuff (obscurities)
-
rock - instrumental groups
In the first version of the database, only Anglo-Saxon artists were
included. Upon request I've included 60s artists from
all over the globe (South America, Scandinavia, Japan,...).
Being a record collector of sixties music, I have a wide variety of
musical styles, but my personal focus (read "devotion") is
on obscure late 60s groups. Artists who only made one or two 45rpm's
and never had any airplay. I'm talking about straightforward, catchy melodical
stuff and/or pleasent pop/psyche. Some may refer to this genre as "feel-good"
pop.
Some examples: The Glory Rhodes: "I'm so happy" (1968), This
Side Up: "Book a trip" (1968), The Carnival Connection: "Poster
man" (1968), The Sidewalk Sounds: "Make the music pretty" (1967),
etc etc etc.
Therefore browse with care not to overlook those gems...
Both the artists and their songs are listed in alphabetical order to make it easy to look up a name or a title. . I've chosen to use the first letter of the last name for a solo artist. Some examples:
A - B - C - D - E - F - G - H - I - J - K - L - M - N - O - P - Q - R - S - T - U - V - W - Y - Z
Please
note that none of the records in this section are for sale ! If you want

Use
the search engine
If you don't want to see an entire list, you can use a search engine.
Just type in an artist (for ex. avalon frankie) or a songtitle.
For obvious reasons the word "the" in the beginning of a songtitle
is not included.
