Comment:

The link on the first song title is to a 160kbps mp3 of this mix (91megs in size). This is a result of listening to songs from the last 3 months of '64 and the first 3 months of '65 (centered right in the middle of the '60s). Surprising that track 14 didn't do better on the charts. Track 5 is a cover and track 6 isn't. Track 5 also peaked right on the edge between the two years.

Takes me back to High School and AM radio in the car. And I even had a Radio Shack Realtone Transistor Radio. Great Grandfather of the iPod. Very nice. Thanks.
