Our Take

The British Hit Parade series is back with a bang, this time taking us back to the swinging sixties with 1962 Part 1. This collection of tunes from various artists is a rollercoaster ride of nostalgia, bad haircuts, and catchy melodies that will have you dancing in your living room like no one's watching.

The album kicks off with the iconic sounds of Cliff Richard with "The Young Ones", setting the tone for a trip down memory lane that will make you want to grab your poodle skirt and do the twist. Other standout tracks include Gerry and the Pacemakers' "How Do You Do It?" and The Shadows' "Wonderful Land", showcasing the diversity and talent of British musicians during this groovy era.

But it's not all sunshine and rainbows on British Hit Parade 1962 Part 1. The album also delves into the more melancholic side of the sixties with heart-wrenching ballads like Frank Ifield's "Lovesick Blues", reminding us that even in the midst of the twist craze, there was still room for soulful reflection.

Overall, British Hit Parade 1962 Part 1 is a delightful blast from the past that will have you bopping along from start to finish. Whether you're a die-hard sixties aficionado or just looking for some feel-good tunes to brighten your day, this album is a must-listen for music lovers of all ages. So grab your lava lamp, pour yourself a cup of tea, and let the good vibes of 1962 wash over you. Cheers, darlings!
