"A long, long time ago..."

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Canadian-based PLATINUM DISC's r&r series, GREATEST HITS OF THE 70's, Vol. 5 includes the "bookend" highlights of a full-length "American Pie" plus Sweet's adrenaline pumper, "Ballroom Blitz." Also here are a lesser known Guess Who single, several doses of mellow rock and an ever strange Hot Chocolate lead vocal.



A single panel of cover art is blank on the back. (NOTE: Mfr.'s times for cuts #6 and #8 are incorrect.) Strong output levels and clear audio on these original recordings. It's a nifty little collection.



Also from PLATINUM DISC:

GREATEST HITS OF THE 70's VOL. 1 contains the original recordings of "The Night Chicago Died," "One Toke Over the Line," "Midnight At The Oasis," "Indian Reservation, and more!
