Favourite compilation album song

[Jim]

If you had to pick your #1 favourite song off of a compilation album/CD which one would it be and why? (Stereo, mastertapes, superb mono, or just plain fave song of all times etc.)

Shaynes - From My Window (numerous comps), my all time fave.

Burgundy Runn - Stop! (listened to it and his fabulous intro ∞ times)

Out of this world

The Squires, upon first listening I thought nothing could surpass this slab of vinyl....

Then along came the Jujus on the same album and I was forever lost to garage and psych 45's

That's 3 #1's! But then again, I have a similar problem. There are around 200 songs all occupying my no.1 position.

I've always thought "On a windowsil" to be a good companion to "From my window". Those two, along with "Stop!" would likely be among those 200.

Mine is you’re my girl - The coachmen

What a great "problem" to have

We are the Lucky people in this world.... Long live garage in all and any format. (If I had to choose my # 1's from the bunker my list would be endless)

Funny thing, in the mid eighties I came across a price guide for US 45's, Squires, Jujus and other top notch 45's were all priced at $1 dollar. So I thought collecting them would be a piece of cake....
That turned out to be a bit different to say the least

Bad to be born in the 2000s

Wish I was mate, getting old ain't that much fun. Have a go at Neil Young's Old Man and Pretty Things' Old Man Going....

Yep, as much as I still love '60s garage, I no longer get that powder-keg-being-detonated-under-you effect I used to get in my 20s, 30s, and even 40s, and even early 50s, while listening to one of my faves.

I've got the entire Lost Souls series, but haven't gotten around to playing it. Is there much good stuff on them like this song?

Good comps are as rare as hen's teeth. BFTG9 was the last one.

Well if that "Don't Send me No Flowers" version didn't shock you then I doubt you're on the right forum. For a comp so late in the game Lost Souls 1 is a great compilation, extremely well presented with well researched liners and some unknowns even for long time connoisseurs. Maybe not as great as "Up From the Grave" that came 2 yrs later, but that would be asking too much.
