Overview

What music would you hear on the radio if you went back to the early '60s milieu of Mad Men, the ground breaking TV series about the glamorous and ego-driven Golden Age of advertising? These songs!

Mad Men - A Musical Companion (1960-1965) - Various Artists

This two-CD set features nearly three dozen pop favourites of the era, with major hits and rediscovered tracks from a wide spectrum of artists.

From Chuck Berry, Dusty Springfield and Sonny & Cher (“I Got You Babe” is heard over the end credits of the Season Four finale) to Dean Martin, Jackie Wilson, Tom Jones, Roger Miller and Ella Fitzgerald, Mad Men: A Musical Companion exudes the romance and innocence of much of the music of the time, often used to great ironic effect in the series.

Fantastic, rediscovering this music to my generation X is like learning something new about ones tastes. Ever shiek and very mature with its sounds, no wonder I like the CD, just like the series. If you buy it you will love it.
