Comment:

All songs used on prior mixes, but worth hearing over and over again on a deserted island (till the last battery goes dead on my CD player). The average year for these songs comes out to 1967.5 and the mean value is 1966.5 (midpoint of the range of years used or 1960-1973).

I'd figure Gimme Shelter and Are You Lonesome Tonight would ring true ((as the Beach Boys) Nice picks!

A very likable compilation - nice to see a lot of Motown. The Hurley visual is a hoot!
