Vinyl LP pressing. The legendary Sonny & Cher set the music world on fire in the '60s and beyond with their superstar brand of classic Rock and Pop music. Their music transcended into all boundaries of popular music with their brand of Folk-Rock, Phil Spector wall of sound like productions, and two and a half minute symphonies to the ears of millions of people who wanted to hear Rock 'n' Roll love songs. Includes 'The Beat Goes On', 'I Got You Babe' and more.

Sonny and Cher finally get the 180 gram treatment and its GREAT!
For years Sonny and Cher have been getting the shaft in the digital age. Lots of excuses blamed on tape condition and lots of mono versions used because of the "tapes could not be found" excuse. It has only been recently that you could get a real Stereo version of "I Got You Babe" on compact disc. Before that you had to track down a German-only CD pressing of a 1975 compilation album: "The Beat Goes On". When One Way Records released the soundtrack to "Good Times" on compact disc, they had a version of "It's the Little Things" where the tape sounds like it fell right off of the head! Again, another tape condition excuse.Well there are no more excuses thanks to Friday Music. Their excellent reissue of the 1967 Sonny and Cher's greatest hits album sounds great. This record never went out of print until compact discs took over. Each subsequent pressing sounded worse and worse: Unbelievable treatment for a group that made ATCO records millions of dollars. All of that is now fixed. The record sounds amazingly clean with lots of bass. Yes, "The Beat Goes On" and "I Got You Babe" are in Stereo and sound excellent. The biggest surprise to me was how clean the intro to "Little Man" sounds. The thump of the hollow box and tamborines just jump out of your speakers.Even the notoriously noisy "It's The Little Things" gets a nice upgrade. They also fixed the bad tape splce where Cher comes in with "You're not the smartest man..." No more previews of the next groove too which happened a lot on their records.Ten of the twelve songs were written by Sonny Bono. Forget all the revisionist history you have heard about Sonny and Cher and listen to these great teen anthems with fresh ears. A desert island disc!!

Truly creative pop music by legendary couple.
Goog mastering and colored vinyl for the Sonny & Cher collection. The hits are still played regularly on radio. Beautiful reissue with true stereo.

Recommend to any fan!
My partner was singing "Babe" for weeks after he saw Cher in Vegas. I got this for him and EVERYTIME I walk near his office this Vinyl is playing. He couldn't be happier. If he's happy so am I. Not a giver of 5 stars often but this deserves it and I recommend it to any Fan. The quality of the sound is as good as one could expect from a Vinyl and a new player.

A 60's favorite
I originally bought this album in 1967 and foolishly like many got rid of my vinyl with the advent of the CD. So glad to see it back on vinyl and bought it straight away. The disc is of good qaulity and weight and the cover exactly as the 60's issue. The track selection is superb with nearly all of the hits plus great extras. Recommend for any fan of 60'S music.
