 Re Issue

In 2006 RD reissued the series as a 12 volume set. The running order was reworked, which made the set more 'generic' and less themed by disc. Several tracks were dropped, and others added * utilising tracks that I was unable to use originally due to there usage on other RD releases (a silly rule that existed at the time). Ironically the series was renamed 'Remembering The Sixties' but the dropped tracks were those that were more 'memories' than actual hits.

Dropped tracks;-

Dave Brubeck Quartet - Unsquare Dance

Del Shannon - Hey Little Girl

Doug Sheldon - Your Ma Said You Cried In Your Sleep Last Night

Jerry Lee Lewis - I've Been Twistin'

Jimmy Saville - Ahab The Arab

Nat King Cole - Ramblin' Rose

Pat Boone - Speedy Gonzales

Paul Anka - A Steel Guitar And A Glass Of

Ricky Nelson - Teenage Idol

Rolf Harris - Someone's Pinched My Winkles

Sandy Nelson - Drums Are My Beat
