This is truly the Ultimate Baby Boomer Album! If you grew up on the 60's
or 70's this the one cd you will want. It's all here from the Archies to
Josie And The PussyCats (cartoon) and everything you can think of inbetween. If you enjoy Bubble Gum get this album, you won't be disappointed.

25 All-Time Greatest Bubblegum Hits: The Ultimate Bubblegum Collection has twenty-five wonderful bubblegum pop hits from the 1960s! The quality of the sound is excellent and the artwork is terrific. Sure, one could argue that one or two songs should have been replaced with another song or two; but still as a single CD compilation this album goes a long way-and it succeeds!

"Yummy, Yummy, Yummy starts the CD with a solid bubblegum hit; it may seem silly to some of us but I think it's a classic bubblegum hit with a catchy melody and lots of positive energy. "I'm a Believer" by The Monkees has a magnificent rock and roll beat mixed with a pop flavor that makes "I'm a Believer" a really strong hit. "I'm a Believer" is a major highlight of this album. "Gimme Gimme Good Lovin'" is another bubblegum hit with a heavy `60s rock flavor that really makes you want to jump up and dance practically wherever you are!

"Indian Giver" has another fine melody and this song rocks well with that `60s rock/pop flavor that makes it a great tune. Listen also for "Easy Come, Easy Go;" "Easy Come, Easy Go" was always one of my very favorite `60s hits--and it ranks high on my list of bubblegum hits, too. "Easy Come, Easy Go" is yet another major highlight of this album. "Knock Three Times" shins brighter than silver and gold combined as Tony Orlando and Dawn sing this cute love song with all their hearts and souls. "Smile a Little Smile for Me" almost sounds something like what The Beatles would have put out; but this holds its own very well regardless.

"I Think We're Alone Now" is an excellent example of bubblegum pop from the 1960s; the percussion marks the beat and "I Think We're Alone Now" is a classic hit. "Finders Keepers" also has a great tune to it that I absolutely love. "Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes)" really shines bright--and I always loved this tune. Not only is this one of the best bubblegum hits ever, it's also a classic pop hit. "Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes)" is a song I could never tire of hearing--it's all THAT good.

"My Baby Loves Lovin'" continues the hits with a strong entry on this album; this pop tune is great to hear again and I'm sure you'll like it if you haven't heard this before. There's also "Dancin' (On a Saturday Night)" with its own infectiously catchy melody; and the CD ends strong with The Archies performing "Sugar Sugar." Sugar Sugar" has a wonderful beat and the melody is again totally upbeat and infectiously catchy, too. Great!

25 All-Time Greatest Bubblegum Hits: The Ultimate Bubblegum Collection is a strong CD and I recommend it for people who like this genre of `60s music. You won't be disappointed if this genre makes you smile.
Finally...the ORIGINAL Gimme Gimme Good Lovin' - Reviewed on 2008-05-08

Back in the late 1960's I bought the 45 rpm version of Gimme Gimme Good Lovin' because the song had such a driving, powerful beat. The 45 sounded exactly like the version that was playing on the radio back then and was one of my all-time favorite songs. Life goes on and my record collection is no more. About twenty-five years ago when the oldies rage took hold and stations popped up playing nothing but 50's-70's rock, a 'different' version of the song emerged...different in that the organ track has been enhanced totally out of proportion and completely changed the character of the music. This defective version is the only one you are likely to hear on the radio nowdays and it's a real shame because it makes the song very 'unlistenable'. When I ran across this cd listing I listened to the sample and was shocked...I had found the original. I have to give this compilation 5 stars for that reason! But, wait...the mastering of all the songs is superb and the selection is great!! If you are in the market for the songs on this cd but are afraid the quality might be inferior, fear not!
