Nine tracks, no more, and the shortest is a bit over six minutes. I’m not quite sure about this cover photo, which seems to have originated with a Eurodesign house.

The third of the Remember Then series, which covers the period 1954 to 1963, with yet another Belle-Sharmeer babe from here down adorning the cover. For some reason, this set seems to have a lot of 1961 songs.

The motivation here came from Glen Campbell, who put out rather a lot of songs name-checking cities and places; I figured it wouldn’t be too hard to come up with a CD full without having to resort to, say, the Doors’ endless “L.A. Woman,” which would be a bit much. The cover is an old, out-of-date map of metropolitan Oklahoma City, overlaid with cutesy freeway signs made with Kurumi’s SignMaker. Bonus points if you can figure out the sequencing.

As with the first Major Babes disc, this is a collection of songs with titles containing girls’ names. Also as with the first disc, there are three nice pairs of gams on the cover, though these are covered in Givenchy’s finest.
