HIT ACTION - 20 ORIGINAL HITS 20 ORIGINAL STARS NE 993 (-77) UK

 Another one of those K-Tel seventies hit collections where many of the tracks escaped me back then, so most of this is more about learning than reminiscing. Apart from ABBA "Fernando", Suzy Quattro "Tear Me Apart" and, Gladys Night & The Pips "So Sad The Song" and Heatwave "Boogie Nights" all sounds new to me, but I'm getting lots of positive vibes from some of the other songs. Drifters "You're More Than A Number", Silver Convention "Everybody's "Talkin' Bout Love" and Real Thing "You'll Never Know What You're Missing" good heartfelt soul, The Brothers "Sing Me" ska pop, Showadaddywaddy "Under The Moon Of Love" classic rock and Dana "Fairytale" sweet pop. Audio shifts a little between songs, though most sounds very good and non bad. Picking these K-Tel compilations  is something I started to do just the last couple of years, but I always find them rewarding and I will certainly continue till I've heard them all. To my knowledge this was UK only, also as cassette (CE 994). Vinyl came with label as shown here in a laminated cover with ad inner. (SÄM*)  (KÄJT*)
