I remember watching this awful colored, B&W, or sepia commercial on the big Magnavox color TV when I was in the 1st grade. Strange now. By the way, Hamilton, Joe Frank, & Reynolds consist of three guys, but Reynolds would leave the group and was replaced by Tom Dennison. Pardon my Dick Clark-type music knowledge!
Nope. They usually show up tattered and haggard, invariably played on low-quality ceramic tables with awful compliance. Even unopened - not that uncommon - they're worth about as much as a a copy of Rumours or Eagle's Greatest Hits. Read: literal pocket change!
I think "Goofy Greats" was the first K-Tel record , per se , that I owned. All the cool kids would bring the current hits on 45s when our music teacher would let us listen to records , on Fridays. I'd bring "Goofy Greats ". They were "cool" about it . But , I'll still take "Surfin' Bird" AND "Yummy , Yummy , Yummy" over the 1975 - 76 Top 40 , any day....

I had a bunch of them at one time. Figure there's probably a collecter for everything.

Would the K-tel LPs from the '70s be considered collector's items?
