Time-Life's series "Sounds of the Seventies" was my favorite compilation series. I played 1971, 1976 and 1979 over and over.

[@graybeardsnation]

I have it - the sound quality of those Time-Life comps were really good!! Sounds like you like that same music we do!! So much great music so little time 😳. Thank you for sharing and commenting- stay tuned for more good stuff!! 🤘🎧

[@larryketzes5582]

Yes, so agree. The Time Life excelled in doing 2 things. 1) Improving the quality of the music from the Ktel offerings, and 2) Improving the selection of the cuts!!!

Hey, don't knock Rick Springfield!! He was a heartthrob of mine and saw him in concert in Milwaukee at Summerfest!! Thank you for bringing back that memory for me!! 💗

[@graybeardsnation]

So cool - I only know one other person who has purposely seen Rick Springfield- she is pretty cool so I guess I can’t knock it until I tried it 😉- thanks for watching and stay tuned for more fun and would love to have you along😊 ❤

What an awesome channel!! Learning so much. Funny about how disco can be enjoyed because of nelogic sake, I feel like that w the 2000s club hits 😂

[@graybeardsnation]

@@MonieMuse glad you enjoyed it!! We have a BUNCH more great ideas in the queue so stay tuned!! Thanks for watching and for sharing!! 😁🤟🏻👍🇺🇸

Music has a direct relationship with our memories and that is why they can be so powerful!

[@larryketzes5582]

​@goldenimagemusic thanks for tuning in!!!!!

[@georgeprice4212]

I actually grew up on the K-Tel albums! I only have one currently, 22 Explosive Hits, Volume 2, and it has (as if the original ATCO single wasn’t edited enough) Derek And The Dominos “Layla” on there, and an early fade of “If Not For You” by Olivia Newton-John.

[@graybeardsnation]

Sounds like you learned a lot about music like we did - I am so glad for compilations- too bad the quality sucked - I did find each of the albums put together as playlists on KZbin- a great idea and much better sounding tunes!! Thanks for sharing and watching- stay tuned for more fun!!🎉😊

[@larryketzes5582]

Me too George! I think Ktel was the Original One Hit Wonder compilations....Jigsaw SkyHigh. Nuff said.......

[@ContentedPug]

That commercial you all made at the end of the video was crazy - loved it 😂❤

[@wink5360]

That was not inly informative, but it was actually very funny.

[@graybeardsnation]

lol - I am glad you liked it- we try to keep things light, interesting and informative- be sure to keep an eye out for more fun topics and thanks for watching!! 😁😎👍

[@jtlynn23]

Great video! My siblings had a few of these records, and while they were great collections, many of the tracks were sped up and heavily edited, as another commenter mentioned. As an aside, "D'yer Mak'er" is pronounced as if you were slurring the word "Jamaica."

[@graybeardsnation]

I told Larry that he just has his own way of saying things 🤣😂😁

[@larryketzes5582]

True dat! I was going to mention that, but people might not know what song I was referring to! Also, down that same rabbit hole, In A Gadda Da Vidda was originally wrote as In The Garden Of Eaden. Some drunkenness got in the way, and they just left as is!

[@wabankik]

...My Condolences, "22 Fantastic Hits" and "Dynamite", although The tracks were edited and speed up for time There was Great bands on There pre-disco BTO, Nazareth, Steelers Wheel, Derringer, ¤ Focus, Sweet, Bongo Band, Stampeders, circa '73-'74...

[@graybeardsnation]

Yeah great songs - I am so glad the comp albums as a kid - it really set the stage for the music I love today! Quite frankly the music today is just sad - just love that earthy 70s sound - timeless 🤘😊

[@larryketzes5582]

Love the bands you mention, especially Focus, Sweet! I would always have thought Focus was a one trick pony with Hocus Pocus, but they were anything but!

[@historianKelly]

LOL When I saw the title of this video, I asked out loud, "do they mean compilation albums like K-Tel albums?" Yes, you do. I loved K-Tel compilation albums as a '70s kid. Like people today can just buy songs they like & apps suggest similar music, K-Tel albums had just the hits - you didn't have to buy 15 different whole albums by 15 different artists - plus there were always songs you weren't as familiar with but came to love (usually). You could buy 45s, of course, but a K-Tel album was still cheaper than a bunch of 45s.

[@graybeardsnation]

@@historianKelly lol - I am glad you got it!! Yes 45s were good and they were cheap but those KTEL records gave us the whole picture in one record!! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and for watching!! More fun stuff otw! 😊😁🇺🇸

[@richardhawkins4621]

The k tel records sold in there millions but the sound quality could be very poor😢

[@omega4recording]

I agree but back then I don’t think I knew anyone with a killer stereo 😁. It was just great to be enlightened by all the music out there - sure KTEL put top 40 music on those crappy LPs but it was the gems they put in there that was not in rotation on the top40 am stations that made the difference!! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and stay tuned there is more fun stuff on the way 😁❤️🇺🇸

How about The Beatles, Please Please Me. They changed music.
