1960: 20 Original Chart Hits' songs are an appealing mix of lightweight rockers, pop crooners, orchestral themes, and novelties that give a good feel for the year's music. A Time to Remember is a British label, so the tracks are derived from that country's charts, making it slightly different than a collection from the U.S. charts. Artists like the great Johnny Kidd & the Pirates and Peter Sellers wouldn't be included on the latter, for sure. There are many classic tracks to be found here, like Eddie Cochran's "Three Steps to Heaven," Fats Domino's "Walkin' to New Orleans," the Shadows' "Apache," and Rolf Harris' "Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport," along with some songs that are less well-known but still great, like Gene Vincent's "Pistol Packin' Mama," Marv Johnson's "You've Got What It Takes," and Johnny & the Hurricanes' "Beatnik Fly." There are relatively few weak tracks, and the collection, while not essential, is a fun and frothy listen bathed in nostalgia. ~ Tim Sendra, Rovi
