Sixth in the series, with no sign of slowing down. (Volume 1 is here.) Not only did we resort to a B&W photo, but it’s derived from a Woolworth’s ad. Besides, we like black and white.

Back in my days as the King of Mix Tapes, I put together a series of sixteen C-90s (24 hours!) devoted to the period known as the “Mid-60s,” which I defined arbitrarily as November 1963 to May 1969 for purely personal reasons. Problems set in almost immediately, mostly because CD-Rs don’t hold the full capacity of a C-90, so the first order of business was to toss out ten minutes worth of tracks. Eventually, I suppose, I’ll have to put out eighteen of these to equal 24 hours. The cover art comes from a vintage Hanes ad.
