Complete Pop Instrumental Hits Of Sixties 3 / Var Complete Pop Instrumental Hits Of Sixties 3 / Var CD

Three CD set. If you're a fan of instrumental hits, Complete 60s Records' first two releases left you speechless! That's because this exciting new label's historic series Complete Pop Instrumental Hits of the Sixties doesn't just compile the biggest hits or rarest rarities. It brings together every single Billboard Top 100 instrumental hit. If it made the charts, we got it - rock, soul, jazz, country, orchestral, you name it! Now, in the wake of the first two volumes - 1960 and 1961 - comes Complete Pop Instrumental Hits of the Sixties Vol. 3 - 1962 which chronicles perhaps the biggest year ever for instrumentals. In fact, more than 13% of all Top 100 records in 1962 were instrumentals, and many were big hits. It was a magic, innocent time. America was young, bursting with promise, and literally twisting with energy on the cusp of it's most creative, tumultuous decade - and it showed in the crazy quilt of wordless wonders that climbed the charts.
