VA - De Pre Historie 200 Original Hits 1960-1969 [1998] (10 x CDs)

The box set “De Pre Historie 200 Original Hits 1960-1969” is a fantastic collection that truly captures the spirit of the 1960s. Released in Belgium, this 10-CD set was brought to you by BMG Ariola and marketed by EVA Belgium. The project involved some big names in the music industry, including EMI, Virgin, BMG, and PolyGram.

These are based on the BRT TV- and radio shows "De Pre Historie" hosted by Guy De Pré.

The 1960s was a time of incredible musical diversity and innovation, and this box set showcases that beautifully. You’ll find a wide range of genres here, reflecting the evolution of music during this vibrant decade. Rock and roll, which had already gained popularity in the late 1950s, continued to rule the charts. The raw energy and rebellious spirit of rock and roll are evident in many tracks, with their driving rhythms, electric guitars, and catchy melodies.

Soul and rhythm & blues also shine in this compilation. These genres, rooted in African American musical traditions, brought a new level of emotional depth and vocal talent to popular music. The powerful voices and heartfelt lyrics of soul music resonated with listeners, while the infectious grooves of rhythm & blues kept everyone dancing.

Pop music, with its broad appeal and catchy hooks, is well-represented in the box set. The 1960s saw the rise of pop idols and girl groups, whose polished performances and memorable tunes captured the hearts of fans worldwide. The influence of folk music is also present, with its emphasis on storytelling and acoustic instrumentation.

Psychedelic rock emerged as a significant genre in the latter half of the decade, reflecting the countercultural movement and experimentation with new sounds and recording techniques. The use of unconventional instruments, studio effects, and surreal lyrics created a unique and mind-bending musical experience.

Overall, “De Pre Historie 200 Original Hits 1960-1969” offers a wonderful overview of the diverse musical styles that defined the 1960s. It’s a testament to the creativity and innovation of the era, making it a must-have for any music lover’s collection. (B)
