Comment:
And on this night one might ask, wherefore is this 70's collection different from all other 70's collections?Glad you asked. This started out as a game my wife and I sometimes play at dinner -- trying to remember the most cringe-making pop tunes from our youth that we can. And a lot of them are here. I mean, Jimmie Osmond's voice -- gives you a frisson just thinking about it, don't it?
The other part of it was trying to show the heady bi-polarity of that decade with some truly great rock and funk. There were a lot of sparkly bits in all that dross and dreck.
And to add some versimilitude, every three or four songs, I grafted in the k-chunk sound an 8-track makes when it switches programs. (That blue word is a link, by the way, to the sound at 8-track Heaven. You may have to hunt down the proper codec to hear it.) Every time I listen to Jungleland, part of my brain still awaits that godawful k-chunk in the middle of the the song. It never comes. Don't know if that makes me happy or sad.
Feedback:
"then there was no sound @ allllll---lllll
'cept the clock upon the wall [tick-tock, tick-tock].
then the door burst open wide,
and my daddy stepped inside,
and he kissed my momma's face
and he brushed her tears away...."
gosh...I thought those professional sessions made that memory go away

I remember wishing I had a really cool crisp white suit as I danced around singing "It's a miracle"....I think I may need a fork and a ball peen hammer to get that, and others, out of my head. Fun mix...well done...(now can you pull a rabbit out of this hat?)
The 8-track is a wayback machine!
Wonderfully executed mix!
