Synopsis

The original Library albums & commercial releases now highly sought after & these are Club friendly grooves. It is the first time on CD for two-thirds of the collection. 20 tracks. 2003.

CD Reviews

The Swing'n-est Cd In A Long Time....................

Robert S. Neill | Pittsburgh, PA United States | 05/01/2004

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This CD caught my eye originally for the inclusion of the Dave Allen At Large theme......(ahhh,I miss that show).....,which is undoubtedly one of the "Swinging-est TV theme tracks" ever.After listening to the entire rest of the CD,I was putting it on heavy rotation.It is flat out great! Every track pulls you in and you won't be able to keep still.Throw away your "wet blankets",put this disc in your convertible MG,put the top down and go cruise for mod girls(or guys)!......Buy this CD.......you won't regret it"

Hot. just hot!!

"All I can say is get this. Funky, stylish, mod, now. Our 3 and 6 year-old girls love it and dance around joyfully when it's on, great for lifting your spirits or even just cleaning the house."

One of the Best of its Kind

"Alan Hawkshaw is one of those unheralded heroes of popular music history. He's had his hands in a lot of places without anyone knowing who he is. He played with Donovan during the Hurdy Gurdy Man's heyday, collaborated with Serge Gainsbourg on several of Serge's 70s albums, and he did soundtrack work on countless cool movies. This collection is an excellent selection of some of Hawkshaw's best soundtrack work. If you're into 60s/70s groovy soundtracks, this one will hit your sweet spot. Heavy B-3 dominates the sound, which also features some cool fuzz guitar work. If the Ventures had Jimmy Smith as their organist, and if that band performed soundtrack scores composed by Ennio Morricone that were to be used in European crime and softcore sex movies from the 60s and 70s, what would come out of all of that is similar to the effect of Hawkshaw's work."
