Album Review Time-Life's AM Gold '60s series provides a highly enjoyable history lesson. Each year is represented by 22 songs drawn from a wide range of sources, features all very big hits all the time, and plays like an hour of true golden oldies radio. The entry from 1964 collects the sounds of the British Invasion (the Zombies' "She's Not There," Billy J. Kramer's "Little Children"), the American resistance (the Four Seasons' "Rag Doll," the Beach Boys' "When I Grow Up to Be a Man"), girl groups (Lesley Gore's awesome "You Don't Own Me"), and sophisticated R&B (Little Anthony & the Imperials' "Goin' out of My Head") and picks up lots of one-off hits like Stan Getz's "The Girl from Ipanema" and Terry Stafford's "Suspicion." You won't find the actual Beatles here, but you can definitely feel the aftereffects of the explosion as the number of British acts has blossomed (Dusty Springfield, Gerry & the Pacemakers, etc.). As usual with the series, you'll get a pretty good idea of what was going on in the charts from this disc, and you'd be hard-pressed to find a better single-disc collection of hits from the year. by Tim Sendra
