The 60s story continues with NOW Yearbook Presents The 60s Volume 2, the next essential chapter in the Yearbook Presents series. Celebrating the explosion in pop music during 1963 and 1964, this collection brings together 88 iconic recordings across 4 CDs, showcasing a golden age of chart-topping pop alongside timeless soul, rock n roll energy and unforgettable ballads.

CD1 kicks off with The Kinks groundbreaking UK No.1 You Really Got Me, a track that helped define the British Invasion era, followed by equally unforgettable tracks House Of The Rising Sun from The Animals, Shout from Lulu And The Luvvers, and Dusty Springfield with I Only Want To Be With You. The disc is packed with instantly recognisable chart gold, from Roy Orbisons signature Oh, Pretty Woman to Elvis Presleys Viva Las Vegas, alongside timeless pop classics including, from the U.S., The Beach Boys and Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons, plus British favourites The Hollies, The Searchers, Gerry & The Pacemakers and Cilla Black.

Disc 2 showcases the unstoppable rise of soul and sophisticated pop, led by Petula Clarks international smash Downtown, a record that conquered charts on both sides of the Atlantic, followed by Sandie Shaw and Dionne Warwick who both scored huge hits with timeless songs by Burt Bacharach and Hal David. Motown greats feature prominently with The Supremes breakthrough No.1 Where Did Our Love Go and Marvin Gayes unforgettable How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You), alongside era-defining hits from Martha & The Vandellas, Stevie Wonder and Mary Wells. Chart favourites from The Shadows, Lesley Gore and Peter And Gordon are included with Skeeter Davis closing the disc with her enduring classic The End Of The World.

CD3 opens with the legendary Be My Baby by The Ronettes and continues with The Crystals Da Doo Ron Ron and The Shangri-Las Remember (Walkin In The Sand), followed the jazz-influenced The Girl From Ipanema by Stan Getz, Joo Gilberto & Astrud Gilberto; a Grammy-winning hit that brought bossa nova to the mainstream. The CD closes with a run of easy-pop from Andy Williams, Tony Bennett, Doris Day and Dean Martin and finishes in unforgettable style with Louis Armstrongs Hello, Dolly!, No.1 in the US.

The final disc delivers wall-to-wall classics, opening with Roy Orbisons In Dreams, and Bobby Vintons Blue Velvet. You Dont Own Me by Lesley Gore is as popular now as then, and The Supremes huge No.1 Baby Love, one of Motowns biggest-selling singles, still sounds fresh more than 60 years on. Second appearances from Martha Reeves & The Vandellas, Dusty Springfield, The Beach Boys, Elvis Presley and The Kinks leads to a pair of cinematic showstoppers, both from James Bond movies: Matt Monro with From Russia With Love and Shirley Basseys iconic and instantly recognisable Goldfinger. The collection closes with a timeless anthem with Gerry & The Pacemakers emotive and chart topping Youll Never Walk Alone.

NOW Yearbook Presents The 60s Volume 2 - a vibrant celebration of these years packed with the songs that shaped popular music forever. An essential companion to Volume 1 and a must-have for fans of classic hits, timeless songwriting and one of the greatest eras in music history.
