This 1960’s pop star trading card set, issued by ice cream retailer Mister Softee, features many legendary bands, such as The Beatles, seen holding the Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Band album; Rolling Stones, including the late Brian Jones; Procol Harum, best remembered for their timeless classic Whiter Shade of Pale; and Traffic, founded by the multi talented Stevie Winwood. This set also includes The Flowerpot Men, who scored chart success with their single Let's Go To San Francisco. One card also features a band whose name is derived from those of the band members: Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Tich. At their peak, they even spent more weeks in the UK singles chart than the Beatles.

British female singers from the swinging sixties are well represented in this set, including international superstar Dusty Springfield, Sandie Shaw with her shoes swung over her shoulder, the loud mouthed Glaswegian pop star Lulu and Cilla Black, who went from a singing icon to one of British televisions highest paid presenters.

This set also includes a number of American superstars, including Jimi Hendrix, considered by many to be the greatest electric guitarist in the world; John and Scott from the Walker Brothers; the singer-song writer Gene Pitney; the all American Beach Boys group and a card devoted to each of the members of the Monkees, who had their own television show.

Also featured is the perennial favourite Tom Jones; the multi talented Georgie Fame; folk singer Donovan and Engelbert Humperdinck, whose career changed for the better when he changed his name. This set devotes two cards to stars that bravely left popular groups and opted for solo careers: Alan Price, a talented musician who split from the Animals and Paul Jones, who was originally from the chart topping band Manfred Mann.
