Review

Rhino Flashback's '60s Rock: It's a Beautiful Morning is a budget-priced slice of oldies radio goodness that relies heavily on Mitch Ryder & the Detroit Wheels ("Devil with a Blue Dress On/Good Golly Miss Molly" and "Sock It to Me, Baby!"), Tommy James & the Shondells ("Hanky Panky" and "Crystal Blue Persuasion"), and the Rascals ("Groovin''" and "A Beautiful Morning"). At a mere ten tracks, it's far from encyclopedic, but there's hardly a bad seed to be found. ~ James Christopher Monger, All Music Guide
