The collection is a very valuable document as a whole, sound and booklet. Song by song, the music ranges from the sublime to the ridiculous. Ironically, the best two tracks on the album are Beatles covers : "Please Please Me", by Link Wray & The Raymen (which I recently posted on another thread), and "You Can't Do That", by Nilsson, a kaleidoscopic version of the great Lennon track.
Most of the other songs are from 1964-1965, following the explosion of Beatlemania in the USA. There's even a Sonny Curtis track.
One of my favourite cuts has to be this one, from 1964, which has an irresistible Spectorian quality :
