Royalty Free 60s Music: When Guitars Started Fighting Back!
Apparently, if you can remember the 60s, you weren’t there. Luckily they managed to record music like it was going out of fashion. This collection captures that groovy, revolutionary, tape-hissy time to give your songs some flair (or was that 70s?) There may be some encroaching sounds from the surrounding decades, but don’t mind that, just listen and enjoy maaaaan.
Each piece captures that particular moment when popular music decided that convention was becoming rather tedious. You’ll find crystalline guitar sounds running through valve amplifiers that seem to purr with vintage warmth, alongside vocal harmonies that appear to have been recorded in particularly well-designed shower rooms. The drums sound precisely as though they’ve been captured in those specific wooden rooms that recording engineers still dream about.
Perfect for creators crafting:
- Period pieces requiring authentically optimistic musical DNA
- Fashion content celebrating that remarkable moment when tradition met technicolor
- Documentary segments exploring cultural revolution through careful chord progressions
- Advertising pieces seeking that particular breed of vintage authenticity
- Historical narratives where the soundtrack should feel like primary research
A Note on the Sound:
Each track embraces the particular warmth that only valve equipment seems to so generously provide, while maintaining enough modern clarity to work splendidly in contemporary content. You’ll find careful arrangements that know precisely when to deploy a twelve-string guitar or when a tambourine might solve everything.
The collection spans from sophisticated beat-group arrangements to pieces that appear to have discovered psychedelia but remained remarkably coherent about it.
The sixties brought us flower power and the birth of modern pop – a decade where optimism met revolution in three-minute bursts. These tracks harmonise naturally with the 70s collection for extended period projects, whilst sharing DNA with some rock anthems that trace their lineage to this transformative era. For broader nostalgic needs, explore my complete vintage catalogue.
