"Despite having a couple of non-hits, this colection does the trick for anyone desiring hard to find late 70s singles. All original versions."
A wide sampling of late 70's top-40

"OK, maybe some of these tunes are not destined to be standards thirty years from now, but this volume does cast a broad net over the singles on the top-40 charts during the later 70's. Some one-hit wonders, some teeny-bopper fluff, some more substantial musical works and a few lesser-charting follow-ups show up in this near-the-end volume in the series. And rather than being a detriment, the inclusion of other charting hits by artists who had other more popular tunes is actually a refreshing benefit. Who needs to have the same oft-repeated stuff show up for the umpteenth time on a 70's collection? But this grouping is not of slouches by any means as nearly half of the included tracks were top-10 pop charters. As with other volumes in the series, there are readable trivia for each of the included tunes and while nothing revelatory is evident, the sound quality is respectable with all tracks in stereo. Contrary to what seems the general consensus, this volume does offer collectors of the era's pop music more pluses than minuses and is definitely a worthwhile addition to the series."
Thank You for Being a Friend

"I purchased this CD to complete my Super Hits collection. I now have all of the CD's. Not a lot on here I like, but "Thank You for Being a Friend" is worth the purchase. Andrew Gold didn't offer a lot, but this song always results in good thoughts and memories."
