4.0 out of 5 stars That's who sings that song, March 24, 2007

By	William A. Whitt (Essex IA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This 70's collaberation of pop hits is one of many in this series. This particular one just so happens to have some titles that are really hard to locate by themselves. You can also impress your friends with your uncanny ability of music knowledge when you rattle off the artist when you hear these songs on the radio. Bill Whitt

4.0 out of 5 stars Another Fine Platter of 70s Musical Leftovers, March 1, 2000

By	Anthony G Pizza "trivialtony" (FL) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

This chapter of Rhino's "Have A Nice Day" series of 70s musical fast-food is slightly more nutritious. Oh, you still get the tear-jerking story song ("Blind Man In The Bleachers," although "Run Joey Run" was the better David Geddes single), and the novelty hit (Rick Dees' #1 "Disco Duck," which he has run from and back to ever since) and two patronizing Vegas-style ballads (Mac Davis' #1 "Baby Don't Get Hooked On Me" and Engelbert's creamy-smooth "After the Lovin'").

But you also get some southern soul (Sanford-Townsend, Hot's Soul Children-ish "Angel In Your Arms"), a British superstar's US Top 10 debut ("Devil Woman") and final Top 10 for a fine harmony duo (Seals & Crofts' emotional "Get Closer"). Then, for the finale, you get Dean Friedman's 1977 one-shot "Ariel." A tale of teenage first love New York style, it captures the sound and feel of the "Grease" movie music that would sweep the country a year later. It ought to become a script for "Freaks and Geeks" or "That 70s Show" if it hasn't been already (Favorite line: "She said Hi/I said 'Yeah, I guess I am.") Highly recommended for those needing a teenage nostalgia trip.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hard to Find Songs, June 28, 1998

By A Customer

All original versions of 70s hits, but who would expect to see "Baby Don't Get Hooked on Me" next to "Disco Duck"? Despite this uneveness, the collection holds up very well, and no 70s devotee can call his collection complete without it.
