i was 9 when this came out, and snatched it up as quickly as my parents would buy it for me.... i wore out my copy.... radio edits, yes, but still great tunes for a kid to grow up on!!!
Great post! Sounds good. I have a couple of those 'Oldies" comp commercials from the mid 1980s which are good too. I just can't imagine K-Tel promoting the shit from the 1980s -2011.
I'm lucky enough to have found some great K-Tel albums in record stores in my area. I'm probably about the only person my age who actually owns a working record player!
I remember watching these as a child on that old RCA console where you had to get up and change the channel clunk-clunk-clunk and push A or B for the cable. Primitive times in the 70s. Ditto jeans, Farrah Fawcett, bell bottom pants, John Travolta disco king. Boy, I'm getting old. Yo, Adrian!!!!

I had forgotten almost all of these songs, but now I realize they were the soundtrack of the 70s.

@MsTexas73 That was standard practice. Tapes were always $1-2 more than the LP.(And when CDs came out, they were more expensive than cassettes).

Wait...SERIOUSLY? the 8-Track was more than the LP? I guess cuz you could play those in your car. (portable)
