The Cameo Parkway Box Set
If you could time travel back to the late 1950s and the '60s and happened to check out the record collection of just about any American teenager, youd likely find a stash of hits on the CAMEO and PARKWAY labels. None of these recordings have been available in their original form for many years, making the Cameo-Parkway catalog something of a holy grail for collectors. At long last, ABKCO Records has mined the C-P vaults and painstakingly compiled a stunning, historical 4-CD BOXED SET that places back into circulation all of the original legendary and never forgotten Cameo-Parkway hits and dozens more. The Cameo-Parkway Story fills one of the most sizable gaps in many a collection and restores this innovative label to its iconic place in the pantheon of American popular music.

The Best of The Tymes
They were, arguably, the most romantic sounding vocal group of the era. "So Much In Love," a huge hit in 1963, is certainly one of those 'our song" songs but so, too, was their hit version of 'Wonderful! Wonderful!" and 'Somwhere," another Top 20 hit for the group. Their inspired harmonies are heard on this 22 track collection.

The Best of The Dovells

The Best of ? & the Mysterians
The impact of this proto-punk garage band reverberates through the decades. They blasted out of Saginaw, Michigan in 1966 with "96 Tears," the song that was propelled by their enigmatic lead singers snarling vocals and the signature sound of the Vox Continental organ. The later hit 'Cant Get Enough of You Baby" is also part of the package as well as the frantic 'I Need Somebody'." In all, there are 27 nuggets of rocking, soul-driven ravers on this collection.
