Why you know every single one of these songs
Pop Sixties – Boomer 103
1. Carrie-Anne – The Hollies
The one with the irresistible “ba-ba-ba” chorus that seems to live permanently on British radio.
2. Young Girl – Gary Puckett
Famously makes modern listeners wince slightly, then sing along anyway. You definitely know it.
3. Mama Told Me Not to Come – Three Dog Night
Later a huge Tom Jones hit, which is how a lot of people recognise it now.
4. Dedicated Follower of Fashion – The Kinks
That sarcastic, very British song about trend-chasing that still feels painfully accurate.
5. Lightnin’ Strikes – Lou Christie
The dramatic one with the big emotional build and falsetto vocal everyone waits for.
6. Concrete and Clay – Unit 4+2
Sounds instantly Mediterranean, even if you can’t place why.
7. The Boat That I Row – Lulu
A proper feel-good singalong written by Neil Diamond.

One of those love songs you’ve heard covered a hundred times without realising it.

Hugely famous in the US, especially at sports events, but instantly familiar everywhere.

That haunting keyboard solo that sounds oddly futuristic.

A Carole King-written pop classic that feels warm and reassuring.

The song that permanently ruined Mondays for everyone.
15. Bang Bang – Cher
Later revived by Quentin Tarantino, but already iconic long before that.
16. All I Really Want to Do – The Byrds
The jangly Dylan song that sounds like sunshine on a guitar.
⸻
Rocking Sixties – Boomer 104
17. My Generation – The Who
The stuttering vocal, the sneer, the attitude. Absolute teenage rebellion in sound form.

Still shouted at football matches by people who don’t know any other lyrics.

What makes this set extra special is not just the music, but the story written quietly into the vinyl itself. The lack of spindle marks .. except one 👇
There are record collections… and then there are records that clearly lived with someone.
The four LPs included (complete Sixties set)
• Pop Sixties – Boomer 103 (grey sleeve)
• Rocking Sixties – Boomer 104 (green sleeve)
• Electric Sixties – Boomer 105 (yellow sleeve)
• Loving Sixties – Boomer 106 (orange sleeve)
All four share identical branding, typography and the Baby Boomer Classics logo, confirming they were designed and sold as a coordinated series. The rear sleeves even show the full range, with two Fifties titles and four Sixties titles. This listing includes all four Sixties releases, exactly as intended.
A note on provenance and use
Based on spindle marks and vinyl condition, there is a high probability these LPs were originally purchased together.
What’s fascinating is how differently they were used:
• Loving Sixties (Boomer 106) shows the most spindle wear and was clearly the most played. This was someone’s favourite.
• Rocking Sixties (Boomer 104) shows minimal spindle wear, suggesting it was sampled rather than heavily rotated.
• Pop Sixties (Boomer 103) and Electric Sixties (Boomer 105) show little to no spindle wear at all.
This points to selective listening rather than neglect. One record became a soundtrack. The others waited patiently on the shelf.
Collectors will understand exactly what that means.
Vinyl condition (honest and experienced grading)
I’m a long-time vinyl DJ and collector, and I grade conservatively. View my 4,000+ feedback from 2005. Trust and confidence.
• Loving Sixties (Boomer 106)
• Vinyl: VG / VG+
• One light surface mark plus storage scuffs consistent with use
• No deep scratches
• Housed in its original inner sleeve
• In my experience, this should play through without skipping. There may be the occasional light surface pop, but nothing that would trouble normal home listening.
• Rocking Sixties (Boomer 104)
• Vinyl: Excellent+
• Only one spindle mark
• Very clean playing surface
• Pop Sixties (Boomer 103)
• Vinyl: VG+
• No visible spindle wear
• Light storage marks only
• Electric Sixties (Boomer 105)
• Vinyl: VG+
• No visible spindle wear
• Clean, glossy surface
Sleeves across the set are clean, bright and well-preserved, with no heavy creasing, no writing and no significant wear.
Records have not been play-tested by me, but have clearly been played historically. Based on condition and experience, they are entirely suitable for home listening and collection.
