I want to write a manifesto on how great the 2005 Girl Group Sounds: Lost And
Found Rhino (hat) boxed set is. I got it yesterday as a suprise present and
it is UNREAL. I am stunned. It's pop from the gods.
Most of my record collection is 60s music. I typically expect a compilation
to have about 3 decent songs, if I'm lucky. I have already listened to 70
songs and it's all FANTASTIC. It matches the Nuggets and Acid Drops boxed
sets for quality / packaging, and might surpass them for killer pop songwriting
craft. There are heaps of songs that I have never heard from the Brill
Building writing staff and great Brit songwriters like Graham Gouldman.
Fans of femme pop (Dolly Mixture, Go-Go's, Mo-Dettes, Blondie), 60s psych,
international and British Invasion rock will flip a wig over this. It's
amazing and worth every dime. This is totally worth freaking out over.
