K-TEL'S 40 SUPERGREATS NE 708 (-75) US

 Thought I was done with picking and posting K-Tel compilations for a while now, but after finding this feel I must add add it to the page as well. A 2-LP set counting forty UK hits, whereof sixteen topped the list. For a guy like me who already was a big music lover back then and listened to about everything this set offers a plethora of wealth, trigging many memories along the way - like Alice Cooper "Schools Out", Rubettes "Sugar baby Love, Sweet "Fox On The Run", Wizzard "See My Baby Jive", Elton John "Rocket Man", Faces "Pool Hall Richard" and many more. I also get stuff that for some reason passed me by unnoticed in those days by acts as Hues Corporation, Ken Boothe, Stephanie De Sykes and John Holt. So listening through set off a jouney where I both can reminisce and learn new things. For this retiree since eight years listening to music has become a way to enjoy my days as much as I can and this is a welcome contribution. Audio shifts a little between tracks. As they crammed in ten cuts on each side not all top of the line, but even if some may not do it very close to the ears it's good as background to about anything, creating a snug seventies mood in my home. This copy, still as new when I picked it, has US vinyls in a UK sleeve, so either the records was imported to UK or the sleeve was imported to US. Not sure which. Originally released in UK and Germany, also on cassette. This US came with label as shown here in a UK laminated fold/out cover. (SÄM*) (KÄJT*)
