"Don't let the budget price fool you. Excellent sound, actual liner notes (and good ones); a first class compilation. Why is it so cheap? You're probably better off not knowing.If you like this collection of songs, don't hesitate. I've been looking for several of these for quite some time, and I'm so pleased to get them in excellent sound and for this unbelievable price!"

Fine, nostalgic album filled with great tunes

"Feelin' Groovy is an awesome CD that, even though it's out of print, deserves recognition--more recognition than it gets. These songs are mostly, if not all, from the 1960s. The sound quality is pretty good and I love that artwork!



Gary Lewis & The Playboys start things off right with their upbeat, catchy tune entitled "Green Grass." "Green Grass" features great harmonizing and the guitar arrangement is very well done. I really like "Green Grass" and I think that you will, too. The Association also scores a hit with their number "Windy;" "Windy" is classic mid to late `60s rock with just a touch of psychedelic flavoring to spice it up nicely. "Windy" also features some great harmonizing and the tempo changes work to enhance the beauty of this song.



Listen also for The Turtles on "She'd Rather Be With Me." The tune has a catchy beat and The Turtles shine on this number. "She'd Rather Be With Me" is a rather strong number and the music sounds great. The Lovin' Spoonful performs "Daydream" really nicely; this number has a relaxed feeling to it with the guitar arrangement and a tempo that perfectly captures the right mood for this ballad. "Daydream" is easily a major highlight of this album.



Harpers Bizarre also weighs in with their rendition of "The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy);" this sounds a bit like bubblegum in retrospect but Harpers Bizarre still holds their own very well. Spanky And Our Gang also give a great tune with "Lazy Day;" this light rock mixes in just a twist of that folk rock flavoring to make a solid hit for Spanky and Our Gang.



Sopwith Camel does a great job on "Hello, Hello;" they never sing a superfluous note and this impresses me. The album then ends with The Kinks on "Sunny Afternoon." "Sunny Afternoon" is a timeless number that stuns me with its beauty; and The Kinks deliver this flawlessly.



Overall, this is one CD that lovers of `60s soft rock and groovy tunes in general are bound to love. I think highly of this album and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Makes me feel really "groovy" baby!

"A great compilation of 60's pop. Not a bad song on it and some songs, like "Green Grass", 98.6, and Younger Girl are pretty hard to find on compilations. The sound is great and so is the price."
