Het is in 2017 precies 50 jaar geleden dat de summer of love plaatsvond, het hoogtepunt van de hippiebeweging en het startschot van een bloeiperiode voor de popmuziek. Deze zogeheten summer of love behoort tot de belangrijkste popculturele gebeurtenissen van de vorige eeuw. Tegen een achtergrond van politieke en maatschappelijke onrust kwam de jeugd in opstand tegen de gevestigde orde. Niet met geweld, maar met kunst, literatuur en muziek. De soundtrack van die onvergetelijke zomer is nu samengevat op deze fraaie 3CD-set, met maar liefst 69 onvergetelijke songs van artiesten als The Kinks, Donovan, Jefferson Airplane, The Beach Boys, Sonny & Cher, The Mamas & The Papas, The Lovin Spoonful en The Monkees. Naast de hits van toen staat er ook een reeks vergeten parels op deze met zorg samengestelde collectie, zoals "The Rain The Park And Other Things" van The Cowsills, "I Had Too Much To Dream (Last Night)" van The Electric Prunes en "Get Together" van The Youngbloods.
