Various Artists - 70's Sound 1 / Various (CD)

All Music Guide

Flashback, a budgetline division of Rhino, released a threedisc series titled The '70s Sound in 2004. The series is more likely to be helpful to wedding DJs in a bind than the average music fan. Each volume features ten tracks, all of which were hits, though the selection process appears to have been fairly random. And, unfortunately, the disco hits are present as threeminute radio edits that are inferior to their albummix or 12"mix counterparts. The first volume features Dr. John's "Right Place, Wrong Time," Lobo's "Me and You and a Dog Named Boo," Todd Rundgren's "I Saw the Light," Norman Greenbaum's "Spirit in the Sky," and the Spinners' "The Rubberband Man."
