Summer Of Love: The Hits of 1967

It was forty years ago today Thousands of young people from across the United States descended on the Haight- Ashbury district of San Francisco, igniting a cultural revolution. They were drawn by the promise of a new social order and by the music. The Sixties began before the Summer of Love and continued long afterward, but the Summer of 1967 was the moment that it all coalesced. The Summer of Love had a special look and a special feel, but above all it had a special sound. Now Time Life has re-created that summer with forty songs and a full length DVD. Almost every major artist is represented. The two CDs include the Turtles, the Mamas & Papas, Strawberry Alarm Clock, Harpers Bizarre, the Beach Boys, the Lovin' Spoonful, Procol Harum, the Byrds, Jefferson Airplane, the Electric Prunes, Vanilla Fudge Cream, Janis Joplin and the Yardbirds. In all, forty songs including twenty-eight Top 20 hits, all original versions. The DVD includes performances by Jefferson Airplane, the Doors, the Rolling Stones, Cream, The Who, CSN&Y, Joni Mitchell, the Grateful Dead and many more. Plus exclusive interviews with those who were there!
