I am a sucker for pop 70's music. Perhaps it is because of childhood, remembering when we heard most of the hits on AM not FM, or maybe it's a reminder of blasting my radio in a parking lot practicing my roller skating moves.

Never the less, should you feel a hankerin for those good old innocent, and mostly cheeky 70's pop hits, this is the best compliation I have seen for a very reasonable price.

I liked this set in particular because it really runs the gambit on 70's pop, good and bad. There are about 3 "filler tracks" on here, but for three CD's, that's not bad at all. Most of the compliations have 2 or 3 songs on the disc that you adore and the rest...throw away.

There's a little something for everyone here, you have your cheesy soft rock hits like "Magnet and Steel" and "Wildfire" (go ahead, admit, you love it) as well as some hard rockin "Free Ride" and the ever popular "More than a Feeling", but for good measure they thre in some disco and some funk.

Dust off them skates and get our your rainbow suspenders..it's time to roll!

I think that was the whole idea behind this collection. Country, folk, stadium rock, R & B, pop, Motown, funk, disco, and a little jazz; it's all there. Sure you could argue that some really great songs from the 70's have not been included, but this is a compilation of Sony owned music; some of these records I remember as being on ABC Records and Epic. I grew up in the 70's and I would recommend this collection just for the cheap trip down memory lane!

so many Great songs here.this really captures the 70's&it's full range of styles&Artists that represented the time period.this was the Era of Songwriters&story-telling.I have all of these songs be it on the Artists Albums or on other sets this 3 Disc Set is a Must have.

I must admit. Before I purchased this collection I DID check the reviews of this disc set,and I am glad I did. This disc set is everything the other reviewers said it was. It was well recorded, the cuts on the disc were most enjoyable. This is my opinion. If you are looking for the music you remember, done the way you remember it, look for the Sony or other recognizable labels. I have purchased other labels and despite what the record company says, the disc sets are first, second, or re-records. Not always done well. I believe this set will please just about everybody who is a 70's fan.

It's too bad this is in the "Shame It's Out-of-Print" File, because it's an excellent and diverse collection, and the sound quality is strong. If you find it at a CD exchange or in the remainders somewhere, nab it. It spans the entire decade of the 70's and the entire range of sounds, from classic rock to pop to funk to disco and even a few country songs. It's a heck of a lot of fun to just load all three discs into your machine and let 'em play through. There are plenty of big hits among the 40 selections--"Dust In the Wind," "More Than A Feeling," "Free Ride," etc--but there are also a wealth of songs I had completely forgotten, such as "We Just Disagree," "Third Rate Romance," and "Arizona." A great mix, and a fun trip down Memory Lane.

FYI: The use of the term "box set" is a bit of a misnomer; it comes in a standard-size double jewel case.

I think the seventies have many more representative hits than the offered in this compilation. A good compilation needs at least 10 cd's to bring together the highlights of "golden era of music production" This is not a good stuff to buy. I recomend AM Gold Collection, Superhits of the 70's (have a nice day) - rated by myself as the best - , a year of your life, and others.

Sony Music's 3-CD boxed set on 70's pop music certainly lives up to its name. The collection is phenomenal and quite comprehenseive. Each genre of music from the underappreciated decade of broad musical tastes is presented. A few songs here ("I Can See Clearly" and "Wildfire") make their way onto too many collections, but beyond that, there really is something here to please your ear regardless of your tastes. Come on. Boston or Willie Nelson? Meat Loaf or The Three Degrees? Boz Scaggs or ELO? All of them are are here and the technical quality of each track is superb. Come on, now, where else would you find so many treasures from the 70s in one boxed set for less ... This is a real steal, so order it!

I'm 52 years old and I love the oldies. This CD brought back some fond memories of my younger days. I enjoy listening to them almost every day.

The discs and packaging were like new. I was very pleased and would defintely order from this company again.

This product just had the right amount of the songs I was looking for.
