"It's a wonderful crystallisation of how the music of the time reflected seismic changes in the wider world.It may be one man's personal stroll down Memory Lane, but it's a richly evocative journey; from the working class defiance of The Who's Anyway Anyhow Anywhere to the keenly observed isolation of Del Shannon's Stranger In Town, from the slick soulful shapes of Marvin Gaye's Ain't That Peculiar and Martha & The Vandellas' Nowhere To Run to the pop-as-soap-opera of The Shangri-Las' Train From Kansas City. It's to Savage's credit, and the listeners' delight, that the themes and criteria for inclusion are set so broad".

"The perfect companion to Jon Savage's 1966 The Year The Decade Exploded and Jon Savage's 1967 The Year Pop Divided. These three compilations chart how music changed between 1965 and 1967, and are a fascinating insight into how music and wider popular culture evolved. This lovingly curated triumvirate of compilations, especially Jon Savage's 1965: The Year The Sixties Ignited are a perfect primer or reminder of what were three hugely important years for music.This change began in 1965, and is documented on Jon Savage's 1965: The Year The Sixties Ignited which like the two previous volumes, oozes quality. It's a truly eclectic compilation that features classics, hit singles, slow burners and of-overlooked hidden gems. There's folk, garage rock, pop, psychedelia and rock n roll, plus funk and soul. The songs on Jon Savage's 1965: The Year The Sixties Ignited defined 1965, and captured the mood of a nation".
