Not only for the music of the Sixties were there many low budget samplers, the same is true for the musicians of the Seventies.
And here is such an example. A 4 CD box called “Hits Of The 70´s”.
And it is another example of how music history is robbed, because here too we do not hear the original recordings, but cheap copies, recorded by some unknown studio musicians.
I didn’t know most of the songs. That has to do with the fact that the songs here mostly come from the Bubblegum, Pop Rock, Soft Rock, Ballad, Disco, Soul genre.
And this was and is not the music that appeals to me.
But this kind of music marketing is also part of music history, a sad part.
And that’s why this music also has a place – now and then – in this blog.
That’s all I can think of to say about this entry.
