Classics IV - Atmospherics 1966-1975 Collection [2002]

Between 1966 and 1975, the distinctive soul/pop sound of Dennis Yost and Classic IV was a consistent presence on the US charts. With major hits like 'Spooky', 'Every Day With You Girl' and 'Stormy', there was seldom a Top 40 in the late '60's when they were not present. This deluxe 29 track anthology was prepared in co-operation with vocalist Dennis Yost and is the only multi-label CD collection covering the group's entire career, featuring detailed liner notes and rare photographs from band archives.  This compilation includes their Capitol, Imperial, Liberty, UA, and MGM hits in one place. This group deserves a box set!! Their other compilation from EMI's Legendary Masters Series has some unreleased Capitol sides and numerous different tracks. Buy both sets...the duplication is worth it! quality vintage pop that is far more honest than most anything that's out today. I miss groups like this, and it is a pleasure to newly discover some of the great songs I was too young to have heard before. Recommended highly! (Amazon)
