Great sound, cheap price

This 2017 Demon/Sony Music European 5-disc box is not the strongest of the many 70s’ box sets that are listed on Amazon (so 4 1/2 stars), but it is non-the-less filled w/a lot of good Brit-leaning music (especially the rock tracks). Disc 1, 68 minutes, is Brit-rock & glam; D2, 70 min., R&B & Disco; D#, 63 min., soft rock & R&B; D4, 66 min., R&B & Disco; D5, 70 min., is a mix of genres (w/6 tracks that are on other box sets). I am amazed at how good the R&B & disco stuff is now – back in the 70s I hated it (but then again, I like a ton more stuff now in my late 60s). All tracks are original charting singles (but not all in the U.S.). Quality of sound is great (re-mastered??), & playback levels are quite even. There are a few minor song title glitches w/Windows Media Player. Song title/artist/composer/label/date are listed on each inside flap of the 5-fold cardboard case – title & artist listed on back cover also. Each disc slides into separate open-at-each-end slots & are very hard to slide out – I used a large eraser on the end of a pencil.

Very disappointed...

As a child growing up in the 70's, I loved "rock & roll" music. I listened to my AM channels all the time. But this collection of (as I found out) UK / British hits, I only recognized maybe 12 -15 songs...and the other songs didn't bring me back in time...disappointing

Best collection of 70s music.

So I basically counted the 100 songs on 5 CD's and came up with 48 charting hits on Billboard, if you live in USA. Since this is U.K. made CD maybe if you live in U.K. the rest of songs were hits. Half of 5 cd's with unfamiliar hits is a lot of waste to me & I can't recommend it, especially when they're calling it "Best of the 70's" & think there are much better collections to spend your cash on.

I love this 5 CD set .. The songs are all excellent and diverse, but what really surprised me was the sound quality - it is fantastic .. I am quite a CD buff, and I own hundreds of Japanese SHM CDs and Blu Spec CDs, and this very reasonably priced 70s collection is right there in terms of high quality mix and sound ...
Play That Funky Music never sounded so good !!
