Sixties Hits - The Ultimate Collection - Various Artists - Vinyl Record 180g Import
Sony's Dutch division built this one for the European market, and the track list gives it away — alongside the expected American hits sit records that meant far more on the continent than they ever did in the States. The Shuffles' "Cha-La-La I Need You" was a Dutch chart fixture; Roger Whittaker's reading of "If I Were a Rich Man" belongs to a very European kind of easy listening.
Around them, the decade's bigger moments: The Byrds turning Dylan electric on "Mr. Tambourine Man," a sixteen-year-old Alex Chilton growling through "The Letter" with The Box Tops, Nina Simone claiming "Ain't Got No, I Got Life" from the Hair songbook, and Zager & Evans staring down the apocalypse on "In the Year 2525."
It moves from Drifters doo-wop to Ohio Express bubblegum without much concern for chronology, which is rather the point — twenty singles, no filler, the sixties as a jukebox rather than a history lesson.

Shipping
Orders typically ship within two business days. Media Mail might be budget-friendly, but it travels at a glacial pace and gets little love from the postal service. For faster, smoother delivery, choose USPS Priority or UPS/USPS Ground.
Returns
Unopened returns accepted within 30 days — you cover shipping.
If your record arrives damaged or folded (thanks, postal service), reach out ASAP so we can fix it.
After 30 days, it’s yours to keep forever.
Avoid extreme heat or sunlight. Definitely don’t let it mingle with any Justin Bieber records. Treat it like your grandma — gentle, respectful, and quiet during Murder, She Wrote.
