The Cd's come in a nice compact carton box. It is not the most luxurious looking edition, but the price is great. Although now it is out of print you can still get it on Amazon.co.uk for a reasonable price. Isn't it all about the music? Plenty of that on 8 cd's, and the box lives up to its name, since no doubt you will find some indeed hard to find hits here.
Of course there can be an endless discussion about what qualifies for a one hit wonder. I would say just a song for which a band is known most. So then I think the one hit wonder of Al Stewart has to be Year Of The Cat, although he has had more songs that made it in the chart, but none of them had the same success.
This edition had put the songs in chronological order, 1960-1967, and so on, which is handy. Furthermore, the sound quality is excellent and all the songs are original (no pan-pipe versions). Of course no edition can be complete and yes, also in this box you will find some not at all hard to find hits. But it is great value for money since some songs here you won't find on any edition together. If you want more, the only other game in town is the superb Ulli Wenger's Bayern 3 One Hit Wonder edition. This edition surpasses this one in magnitude, but also in price! The German double cd edition has come to volume 11 at the time writing of this. But then, some hits you find on this DISKY box are not on the Ulli Wenger!
Find it, and you will have 8 Cd's with pure listening enjoyment.
With Ulli Wenger's One Hit Wonders the best in the genre

First of all, DISKY is a Dutch company, so this One Hit Wonder edition sometimes has Dutch hits too that were a one-hit wonder. Examples 'Weekend' by Earth & Fire, 'If I had words' by Yvonne Keeley,'Windsurfin'' by the Surfers and Eurovision winner of 1975, Teach-In with Ding a dong. Even for people who do not know them (although I guess some of them actually were international hits), they are nice in themselves! But apart from this, the Dutch focus (Focus also included by the way) is minimal and by far the most hits are international.Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2010
