About
For songs that are so old that their first release was on vinyl, finding CDs and other digital recordings can be a challenge, especially for lesser known bands and artists. For really obscure songs, even finding an old vinyl recording (much less a new or used CD or MP3) can seem next to impossible.
This website provides information to help you locate high quality oldies music CDs and other recordings by song title. To assist you in your search, we maintain an ever-expanding database of links to song clips from 1960-1975. Browsing through our extensive song lists can be especially helpful if you are not quite sure what you are looking for and need something to jog your memory. This website also has many tips and resources of interest to oldies music collectors and other music hobbyists which we created in response to visitor feedback.
Allbutforgottenoldies.net has been dubbed by deejay Mike Sain of WPON-AM 1460 Detroit as "the music website used most by radio people and radio listeners in the know." Since we first went online, we have helped thousands of people in all aspects of oldies music collecting - everything from locating out-of-print CDs to finding sheet music to naming some long-forgotten tune from half-remembered song fragments (the latter being, by far, our #1 FAQ.) We hope our website will assist you in finally tracking down that long-lost tune you have been seeking for so long.
