 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;-

  Amen Corner - Hello Suzie
 Blue Mink - Melting Pot
 Checkmates Ltd - Proud Mary
 Consortium - All The Love In The World
 Desmond Dekker And The Aces - Israelites
 Fleetwood Mac - Man Of The World
 Hylda Baker - Nearest And Dearest
 Inez And Charlie Foxx - Mockingbird
 Jane Birkin & Serge Gainsbourg - Je T'aime.Moi Non Plus
 Jimmy Cliff - Wonderful World, Beautiful People
 Kenny Ball And His Jazzmen - The Night They Raided Minskys
 Leonard Cohen - Bird On The Wire
 Robin Gibb - Saved By The Bell
 Rolf Harris - Two Little Boys
 The Pioneers - Long Shot Kick De Bucket
 Tommy Roe - Dizzy
