You'll dig this "More Today Than Yesterday".......2007-07-03

As the author of the Jefferson Airplane book "Take Me To A Circus Tent" and a former radio disc-jockey, I am often asked to write and or discuss various recordings from the 60's and 70's.

Super Hits of the '70s: Have a Nice Day, Vol. 1- The initial release of the series made a solid splash for its consistency and musical diversity.

The volumes become a portable jukebox with any selection a memory of yesteryear. The opening track "More Today Than Yesterday" by the Spiral Starecase could be a Stevie Wonder composition. The production is tremendous and the vocals resonate from the speakers.

"Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye" from Steam became not only a hit single but a sports anthem. Played at hundreds of venues after the home team would have a victory in hand the tune is going to soon celebrate its fortieth birthday but not look older than one.

"Venus" - (The Shocking Blue) The opening second keyboard sound is hypnotic. It had hit written all over.

"Come Saturday Morning" By the Sandpipers has one of the best vocal performances ever. A timeless tune that could never outstay its welcome.

The only pitfall with the entire series is the playing time should fill up a CD. That is why bonus track were invented. Excluding the clock, this a wonderful ride to the past.

Enjoy the music and be well,
Craig Fenton

some good oldies.......2007-04-01

It was actually not the cd I wanted But I do like a few songs on it.

Fun, Fun, Fun (no T-Bird required).......2006-04-05

Today's rock historians will tell you that the late 60s and early 70s were a time of big changes in the music world, and to a degree, they're right: The Who the Pretty things were inventing the rock-opera, James Brown was turning the R&B world on its head, the Velvet Underground were birthing the alternative rock scene, the Grateful Dead were expanding the length and very definition of rock at their life-altering concerts, etc., etc. Yes, rock was, for better or worse, growing up and movin' on out. Fortunatly, nobody thought to tell the chartmaking, AM radio crowd. And so, at the beginning of the 70s, record labels were still churning out platter after platter of simplistic, catchy, glorious, and downright fun pop brilliance. The first in a series of 25 (!) discs, Have a Nice Day, V.1 cobbles together twelve pop delights from 1969 and 1970, and each one is a winner: The disc's oppener, "More Today than Yesterday," is a glorious, soulful, propulsive single from the summer of 1969. "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye," (whose chorus is probably in the Constitution somewhere) is much more than a tune to play off the losers of cuise ship dance contests: With its chiming bells, lulling handclaps, ethereal vocals, and majestic organ playing, it's an otherworldly pop confection. "Smile A Little Smile For Me" is pure hand-clapping, singalong accoustic pop-rock catchiness. And then there's "Cherry Hill Park," a hook-soaked, slinking pop tune with lyrics as risque as anything the early 'Stones ever wrote. And whatever you do, don't overlook the wah-wahing blue-eyed soul of "Arizona" with its sublime, laid back vocals and magestic chorus. "Come Saturday Morning," with its gorgeous vocals and dreamy atmosphere, sounds like a lost Byrds single. And as for the less poppy entries on this disc, there are plenty of great rockers aboard: The rediculously catchy bounce of "Venus," the eye-wateringly heavy "Mississippi Queen," and the country-blues-rocker "The Rapper" are sweet highlights. All in all, a great disc. If you thought that the good stuff never hit the charts, pick this up and prepare to be re-educated.

Have A Nice Day; Volume One IS # One But It's A Tie With Volume Two .......2005-09-13

In my opinion: Twenty Three out of the Twenty Five versions of this, Super Hits Of The 70s; Have A Nice Day, series have their ups and downs and some are better than others and there are several one and two hit wonders on them but the bottom line is this.... Volume One IS Number One and Volume Two is right along beside it. In otherwords; if both volumes were playing against each other in a ballgame the game would most definitely end in a tie. From start to finish those two are solid and the quality of the music is nothing less than fabulous.
This Vol. One starts out with Spiral Staircase's, More Today Than Yesterday, and it most definitely will have you singing along with it.
The second song is, Baby It's You, from the excellent band Smith. Gayle McCormick's bluesy vocals sound fantastic on this tune, which was also a good song for The Beatles on their American LP called The Early Beatles from 1965 plus it was a huge hit for The Shirelles.
The third song is a very beautiful tune which made it to the top five in November 1969 and will melt your heart being, Smile A Little Smile For Me, by The Flying Machine. Folks;I think I remember a slightly different version of this song by The Flying Machine then what is on this disc. Correct me if I am wrong.
The fourth song is by the great Billy Joe Royal called, Cherry Hill Park. Billy Joe Royal a one or two hit wonder?.....No Way! .The fifth song is Steams immortal, Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye. This gem is an Anthem and reached # one in December 1969 and most all of us have sung it at one time or another. Especially at a ballgame. Bannarama had a hit with this song in the 80s.
The sixth song is, Venus, by The Shocking Blue which was a huge smash for this band. Bananarama also had a smash hit in 1986 with this one.
The seventh song is Vanity Fare's charming, Early In The Morning. Vanity Fare also has a timeless classic on Vol.Two.
The eighth song is by Mark Lindsay being, Arizona. That song was Mark's first solo hit. As several of you already know; Mark also sang lead vocals for Paul Revere And The Raiders.
The ninth song went all the way to # Two in March 1970 being, The Rapper, by The Jaggerz. A fantastic song by a great band from Pittsburgh.
The tenth song is a beautiful romantic ballad that was nominated for an Oscar called, Come Saturday Morning, by The Sandpipers. It was also featured on the Motion Picture The Sterile Cuckoo with Liza Minilli.
The eleventh song is a very nice bubblegummy like tune by The Cuff Links called, Tracy. This Gem was sung by Ron Dante who also sang lead for The Archies.
And last but definitely not least this disc also has the rockin, Mississippi Queen, by Mountain.
These songs hit their peak between June 1969 and July 1970 and this is definitely a five star disc. As an aging Babyboomer I can say that I still love the music and these twelve songs are twelve more reasons why I still do.
Do I have a favorite tune on this Volume One compilation?.....Yes.....All twelve of them! If you like music from this era this Volume is a must.

+ 1/2 stars...Hit and Miss Affair.......2004-01-03

Before the advent of online services like imusic.com, Rhino Records was THE label for re-releasing old material. As a lifelong music junkie (I own every Top 10 song from 1963 to 1975), I bought at least twenty of their Have A Nice Day series. Not every song is a winner, but many of these songs were not--at least at the time--heavily anthologized.

Were all of these big hits? No. But it's nice to hear Vanity Fares first hit, "Early in the Morning" (No. 12), than the overplayed "Hitchin' a Ride." "Mississippi Queen" only made it to No. 21, but the song rocks! "Come Saturday Morning" (from the movie The Sterile Cuckoo w/ Liza Minnelli) didn't fare much better at No. 17, but again it's a song you get on few other collections.

The big hits were No. 1's like "Venus," "Na Na Hey Hey (Kiss Him Goodbye)," and the million-sellers like "The Rapper" and "Arizona." One of the most enduring songs of the bunch is the one-hit-wonder "More Today Than Yesterday" by the Spiral Starecase. [Check the spelling on that one...amazon.com has it right! It is NOT staircase!]

Customer Reviews:

70's Greatest Rock Hits #1 Hits Vol.9.......2007-05-14

This album along with the other volumes (1-15) provide a very nice collection of 70's Rock Hits. Used condition of CD was found to be in good condition and played with out any noticable loss of sound quality.

All the hits.......2007-03-21

This CD is GREAT!!! My wife loves it too! From the first song to the last song, you'll be singing along and getting down like you did back in the seventies. *****

Solid Seventies CD.......2007-01-12

You know for a decade much derided by shriveled exhippy babyboomers from the 60s, the 70s certainly produced a mountain of memorable and creative tunes. This is a great CD with some of the decade's best stuff.

A decent collection of mostly one hit wonders from the 1970s.......2003-11-06

Volume 9 in the "70's Greatest Rock Hits" collection is one of the more thematic offerings in the series, with most of the songs being about love (or the absence thereof). You do have to be wary of the sugar content on some of these songs, such as the Captain & Tennille's "Love Will Keep Us Together" and "He Don't Love You (Like I Love You)" from Tony Orlando & Dawn. But then you have one hit wonder Gilbert O'Sullivan's "Alone Again (Naturally)," which balances out all of the sweetness all by itself. There are only ten tracks on this album, but most of them are in that one hit wonder mold so if you are missing B.J. Thomas' "Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head," Terry Jacks' "Seasons in the Sun," and "Escape (Pina Colada Song)" by Rupert Holmes, this is a good way of filling some holes in your music library with regards to minor hits from the Seventies because unless you are a big fan of Tony Orlando and Dawn or the Partridge Family, you are probably not going to have three or four albums actually put out by these artists.

This is a great CD!.......1998-12-03

I love this CD! Whenever I have homework or a test to study for, this one goes right into the player. My favorite songs are "Ventura Highway" by America and "Dream Weaver" by Gary Wright. Don't delay, buy "70's Greatest Rock Hits Volume 6: FM Hits" today!

Customer Reviews:

Not what I expected.......2007-03-18

Very limited selection of music. Not at all what I wanted or needed. There was nothing to tell what songs were on it, so I bought it without knowing. THAT was MY mistake!

Great Records Of The Decade 70's, Vol. 1.......2006-11-06

If you love the 70's like I do this is the CD for you. It brings the past to life with the hit music of that decade. A fan of the 70's dreams come true.

Great records...NOT but a fine CD.......2006-04-19

OK, I have offbeat tastes in music so I purchased this album as soon as I saw it. I can't believe they called it Great Records because the vast majority of people would not agree. However, I grew up listening to Melody of Love and all of these songs. Also, where else can you find the Mike Curb Congregation? I don't know if the Kelly's Hero's soundtrack is even in print anymore. Anyway, fine CD. Most of it is going on my IPOD.

Suits Me..........2006-02-23

I think the title of the CD is a little misleading but the songs suit me. Songs like Debby Boone's "You Light Up My Life" didn't become huge hits because nobody liked them! Infact, that song is the reason I bought the CD. I admit it, I love the song!

Good CD For The Money!.......2001-11-28

Yep, I bought this CD right here on Amazon, and it is quite good for its low price. I must admit that it is at least somewhat of a guilty pleasure to hear the then-sparrow (and one-hit wonder) Debby Boone singing 1977's biggest hit "You Light Up My Life" and an early '70's Wayne Newton singing the tripey "Daddy Don't You Walk So Fast." However, the reason why I purchased this CD was to have the long version of the great Exile song "Kiss You All Over", which by itself is more than worth its extremely low price.

Customer Reviews:

Some great but most grate.......2006-08-08

Although there are a few gems (Syd Dale's "The Penthouse Suite" being one of them) much of the music on this disc is pretty forgettable. It's the kind of stuff that cash-strapped TV producers in the 70s used when they needed to soundtrack hip party scenes without paying huge copyright fees. If you like kitschy yet high-quality lounge/easy melodies then you'd be much better served buying the two-disc "This is Easy" compilation from 2004. That set contains the good stuff from this album plus a whole host of memorable and evocative instrumental and vocal numbers to set your toes a tappin' and your heart a soarin'.

Groovy hip sounds found here!.......2006-03-25

This album is really hip! It features some tracks like Alan Hawkshaw's The Night Rider, Girl in a Sportscar, Neil Richardson's The Riviera Affair, John Gregory's Jaguar & Mandingo's The Snake Pit reminding you of music from Universal movies & television shows from the early seventies. Gregory's Jet Stream & Dave Pell's Oh Calcutta are the only tracks featuring vocals although they are not overpowering. Keith Mansfield's Young Scene, and Joe Loss' Music to Drive by has Herb Alpert tones harking back to The Dating Game. The tracks Funky Fever, The Headhunter & Boogie Juice have that Aaron Spelling's shows such as Starsky & Hutch flavor to it. Paddy Kingsland's The Earthmen has a spacey 70's game show like sound being emphasized by a Moog. Alan Parker's Punch Bowl has that wah-wah guitar deep bass driving groove sound. Mansfield's Life of Leisure & John Cameron's Half Forgotten Daydreams has that sexy slow mellow feel to it. For the era of music this CD is the best that I have found yet! Don't forget to also check out Easy Tempo, Music For TV Dinners: The 60's and Beat at Cinecittà CDs as well. If you are into this groovy scene then by all means grab it! You most definitely will not be disappointed! Peace!

Orchestral Funk at its Swankiest ! ! ! .......2005-08-27

The Liner Notes explain the album but don't really do it justice...They say, "This album is the first in a planned series that will explore the world of some of the most exciting *mood* music ever recorded." (*my emphasis.) - - Mood music... it that British slang for Groove and Funk ??? True, at the time this was marketed as ultra high fidelty quadraphonic lounge music... State of the art recordings to really test out that groovy bachelor pad stereo system on.... but in the end, what does it come down to... Orchestral Funk. 101 Strings was mood music... This is GROOVY baby !

The tracks, recorded between 1968 and 1976 mostly at Abbey Road Studio 2 featuring most of the best session men of the era features material similar to what you'd expect to find on the ULTRA LOUNGE SERIES, but with a heck of a lot more swank and groove... Yes, the strings and lush orchestra are there, but so too are mad *rse percussion, Shaft like guitars and other Jazzy, Disco, funk groove (and yes, there's some swanky Hammonds, brass and lot of ultra pumping Sergio Mendez meets Van McCoy meets spy movie type funk.)

As for the groups (or should I say "orchestras") present are The Dave Pell Singers, Mandingo, Alan Parker, Alan Hawkshaw, Neil Richardson, John Gregory, John Cameron, Keith Mansfield, Alan Morehouse and his Bond Street Brigade, Denny Wright and the Hustlers, Paddy Kingsland, Syd Dale, Brian Bennett, Allan Tew and the Joe Loss Concertium. - - Do I know half these guys ? Admittedly no... but that's what makes this CD so great... all the great discoveries...

I don't know if the folks at EMI and the DJs who picked out the tunes on this album have gotten around to Volume 2 yet, but I darn sure hope they have... or will...

Plenty of delights... musical kiche as well as some really interesting arrangemental hooks. -- Will music like this ever be made again ??? Probably not... and its a darn darn darn shame ! and listening to this wonderful music will make you want to close your eyes and dream that you're banging Claudine Longet or Cynthia Myers circa 1969 (not now, they've probably gotten quite old by now.) I guess that's what the liner notes meant by Mood Music !

Agreed: the best collection of its type.......2003-10-30

I seek out music like this, and although I am by no means an expert-- nor do I have an exhaustive collection-- this is still the best one BY FAR. I've got some of the Easy Tempo collection; Cinematic Soul Punch; a few Italian ones; a few other British ones (e.g. Sound Gallery v2 and Sound Spectrum); a couple German ones; the "TV Dinners" album; Shake Sauvage and Beretta 70; and some more that I'm forgetting. AND THIS ONE STILL SETS THE CURVE. So check those out, but again, do not miss this one. Unlike other albums which have some hits and some misses, each song on this one is a prize waiting to be discovered. You will not be disappointed.

The best lounge/instrumental collection on the market!.......2002-09-23

This CD contains the (in my humble opinion) best instrumental ever written: The Riviera Affair/Neil Richardson. Picture David Janssen and Diana Rigg cruising in a turquoise convertible along the open highway with the wind in their hair and the glorious possibilities of the future before them. This will give you just a small idea of how glorious and transcendent this tune is!! For this alone, I would have paid for the CD. But wait... there's more! The quality of the stereo is amazingly good--in fact, wonderful. Other great instrumentals are: Oh Calcutta (corny but suave -- touches of Brian Wilson instrumentals at his best); Black Rite (cool Bond-like theme style with electric guitar and horns; Jaguar (wow--this will sweep you away!! big bass beat, organ, strings); Life of Leisure (melody a bit like "Walk on By" -- amazingly beautiful mellow horn and strings--you'll float away); The Penthouse Suite (this one does it all--really rips--get out the go-go boots and start snapping your fingers!!); Music to Drive By (theme-type tune with happy strings, xylophone, flute--transcends typical themes). The others tunes are okay to excellent--depends on your taste. Some are TV themes or game show types. Some are groovy pseudo-psychedlic (Jesus Christ Superstar). Some are funky, jazzy (Carol King's "I Feel the Earth Move"), commercial (Shout About Pepsi). Yes, there's a lot here -- something for every taste! If you own only one instrumental/lounge CD, make this the one!! (BTW, Volume Two of this series is also very good and worth owning, but not quite as sublime as this first volume.)

wonderful jazz compilation.......2006-03-02

If you are new to jazz or an old time jazz lover this mix will definitely make you happy for hours and hours. It's beautiful.

Outstanding introduction to Jazz.......2005-02-22

I highly recommend this set. As a (reasonably) young person that didn't really know much about Jazz, I purchased this set on a whim. I am very glad I did! If you are interested in learning about a wide range of good, listenable music, this is a great set. Has a wide range of Jazz artists and styles on it and every song is great. I cannot vouch for the other volumes of this series, but Volume 1 is outstanding.

It's a great place for an all around introduction, or to listen to find out artists/groups that you want to find out more about.

Romantic ballads that take you back to special moments..........2007-07-01

Millions of people like me remember the 1970s fondly as a time when they were younger, optimistic and very much in love. This album works well as an introductory CD of love ballad hits that graced the radio waves and turntables during the 1970s; and if you like this CD you'll certainly want to find any other volumes of this series that may still be available for sale.

The CD track set opens with the charming, slow tempo tune entitled "Precious And Few" by Climax. Now doesn't THIS bring back memories! Climax sings this really well; they leave their indelible mark on this number. The percussion bolsters the sweet sounding musical arrangement. Love those lyrics about the wonderful time two lovers experience when they can be alone together!

"What You Won't Do For Love" sports that '70s R&B flavor that we all enjoyed so much. Bobby Caldwell and his backup singers perform this to perfection; and the arrangement uses the horns, drums and percussion very, very well. Bobby really sings his heart out on "What You Won't Do For Love." In addition, "Misty" gives us a country flavored ballad mixed with a good rock and roll beat to it; Ray Stevens speeds up the tempo for this classic love ballad and this works very well. The chorus, guitars, and percussion add even more beauty and charm to "Misty." Awesome! I think you will enjoy "Misty."

"Help Me Make It Through The Night," a slow tempo country love ballad shines like gold in Sammi Smith's hands; and "Heard It In A Love Song" really has that 1970s soft rock sound that The Marshall Tucker Band injects with a country flavored twist to make this ballad very romantic. The Marshall Tucker Band performs "Heard It In A Love Song" with passion, heart and soul. The flute makes the musical arrangement all the better, too.

"(If Loving You Is Wrong) I Don't Want To Be Right" will surely bring back memories. Luther Ingram does this number with style, sensitivity and masculine warmth to showcase this heart wrenching number.

The CD ends strong with the exceptionally passionate love ballad "Don't Say You Don't Remember" performed so ably by Beverly Bremers. What a number! When Beverly sings this number, she infuses it with so much unfailing honesty and passion that you will remember this ballad after the very first time you hear it! The flawless musical arrangement stuns me with its beauty. Of course, "Don't Say You Don't Remember" also works on other levels; it beckons us to both remember our loves and crushes from the 1970s and to rush to find a copy of volume two of this remarkably well done CD.

The liner notes only give the names of the artists with the title of the song they sing; I hoped for an essay but this is a minor disappointment. The artwork shows good taste and the reverse cover artwork shows the chart positions for all twelve tracks on the CD.

Americans who remember these classic ballads from the 1970s will cherish this album; I know it brings back memories of many special moments for me. I highly recommend this CD for people who enjoy love ballads from the 1970s.

Happy listening, everyone!

a perfect gift.......2007-03-24

compilations of this sort are invaluable!

i buy them for one song, in this case, beverly bremers' glorious 'don't say you don't remember', and i get loads of other wonderful stuff. plus you can't beat the price.

this was a great investment!
