• Track Listing

Volumes one and two were big hits—and we weren’t surprised. This series doesn’t pick and choose; it brings you every instrumental hit from the golden decade of the instrumental, from rock ’n’ roll to orchestral pop, from lounge to surf, from soul and jazz to country. The year 1962 was the biggest ever for the instrumental hit, and that’s borne out by these 227 minutes of music on 3 CDs. Of these 92 hits, many are classics, 14 have never been on CD and the first 3 songs here appear in STEREO for the first time EVER!
