Description
Vintage Collectibles 1954-1969 Volume 5 is a richly varied CD spanning rock and roll, soul, and R&B across one of popular music’s most fertile periods. The disc opens with Strawberry Alarm Clock’s psychedelic smash ‘Incense And Peppermints’ and includes Steppenwolf’s raw early reading of ‘Sookie Sookie,’ showcasing the band’s proto-hard-rock energy before their commercial breakthrough. Chuck Berry’s ‘Reelin’ & Rockin” is a reminder of rock and roll’s irresistible foundations, while The Impressions’ ‘Talking About My Baby’ brings the smooth, gospel-inflected Chicago soul of Curtis Mayfield’s landmark group. With further contributions from Ramsey Lewis, The Grass Roots, and Three Dog Night, this CD captures the remarkable stylistic breadth of mid-century American popular music in a single collection…
