This album is definately one of a kind and Ray Conniff never bettered this, albeit short era in his long career. The production sound is utterly unique to the era and can never be repeated.

This double-CD set lives up to its title, at least as a representative compilation of the period it covers -- no vinyl compilation ever aspired to offer anything like the 64 tracks presented here, all dug out of the EMI vaults. Conceptually this is a killer collection, representing early dawning years of British rock, when acts like Vince Taylor & the Playboys, jazz trombonist Don Lang, and be-bop drummer Tony Crombie and his group the Rockets all competed for the public's attention, and the book was still being written on how to make (or succeed in) Rock & Roll.

This 2010 Verve compilation features Ramsey Lewis playing gems from the Lennon/McCartney songbook. This release resurrects vintage renditions from 1966 ("Wade in the Water") and 1968 ("Mother Nature's Son"). If you like straight-up piano jazz, you'll enjoy this album.
