Had to be in they'r spirit .....  , iiiit must... be.. Can't resist.......

Can listen to it again and again ..... , will not get tired of listening, why ?

I love the 60's sound wish i could find the magic to the sound and replicate it
Guess spring Reverb was used a lot in those days, don't know the rest...

what is the characteristic's of the sound  / style
I can hear , but it is hard to replicate !

* Shakin' Stevens & the sunsets - No other baby  not even Paul McCartney, or others can compare at all...

------------------------------------------------------------------

maybe the " original ", but it's quite different.

3 other examples of 60's sound :

Sandy Posey - i Take it back 

Brian Hyland -Ginny come lately 

Duane Eddy - Raunchy

Love all ...

Happy listening ;-)

Hi,
 
They had a song that went like that, no? Surprised that Craig did not beat me to it!

I'm late because it's not the crack of noon yet, so I'll just offer some Nirvana for you. 
 
Sooo many to choose from!
 
 

I'll throw in some pre-Gentle Giant Shulman brothers '60's whimsy..
 

 
 

I think the basic thing is a certain element of  imperfection (by todays standards), that's what makes it lively. It's never(?) overproduced and sterile, it sounds like played by humans. Not compressing it flat is another thing, and that goes to individual instrument sounds, too. The guitars don't sustain like organs etc.

Spector went for big productions, a few years earlier Joe Meek went for pushing the ideas and technology and by the end of the decade Hendrix, Cream, Floyd etc, were being recorded and produced using techniques and technology not available even at the start of the 60s.

The 60s covers a huge range of styles, in production almost as much as genre, yet there is a common "feel" to the overall sound despite technological advances such as solid state consoles replacing valves, huge improvements in tape recording etc. and the production and engineering possibilities they opened up.

Which makes me wonder if an important thing they had in common was the need to produce and master material so a cutting lathe and turntable could handle it. That and the thousands of tiny distortions and changes introduced by the range of hardware audio went through before finally being released, each bit of kit adding its own "imperfection".
