You'll dig this "More Today Than Yesterday".......2007-07-03

As the author of the Jefferson Airplane book "Take Me To A Circus Tent" and a former radio disc-jockey, I am often asked to write and or discuss various recordings from the 60's and 70's.

Super Hits of the '70s: Have a Nice Day, Vol. 1- The initial release of the series made a solid splash for its consistency and musical diversity.

The volumes become a portable jukebox with any selection a memory of yesteryear. The opening track "More Today Than Yesterday" by the Spiral Starecase could be a Stevie Wonder composition. The production is tremendous and the vocals resonate from the speakers.

"Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye" from Steam became not only a hit single but a sports anthem. Played at hundreds of venues after the home team would have a victory in hand the tune is going to soon celebrate its fortieth birthday but not look older than one.

"Venus" - (The Shocking Blue) The opening second keyboard sound is hypnotic. It had hit written all over.


"Come Saturday Morning" By the Sandpipers has one of the best vocal performances ever. A timeless tune that could never outstay its welcome.

The only pitfall with the entire series is the playing time should fill up a CD. That is why bonus track were invented. Excluding the clock, this a wonderful ride to the past.



Enjoy the music and be well,
Craig Fenton

some good oldies.......2007-04-01

It was actually not the cd I wanted But I do like a few songs on it.

Have A Nice Day; Volume One IS # One But It's A Tie With Volume Two .......2005-09-13

In my opinion: Twenty Three out of the Twenty Five versions of this, Super Hits Of The 70s; Have A Nice Day, series have their ups and downs and some are better than others and there are several one and two hit wonders on them but the bottom line is this.... Volume One IS Number One and Volume Two is right along beside it. In otherwords; if both volumes were playing against each other in a ballgame the game would most definitely end in a tie. From start to finish those two are solid and the quality of the music is nothing less than fabulous.
This Vol. One starts out with Spiral Staircase's, More Today Than Yesterday, and it most definitely will have you singing along with it.
The second song is, Baby It's You, from the excellent band Smith. Gayle McCormick's bluesy vocals sound fantastic on this tune, which was also a good song for The Beatles on their American LP called The Early Beatles from 1965 plus it was a huge hit for The Shirelles.
The third song is a very beautiful tune which made it to the top five in November 1969 and will melt your heart being, Smile A Little Smile For Me, by The Flying Machine. Folks;I think I remember a slightly different version of this song by The Flying Machine then what is on this disc. Correct me if I am wrong.
The fourth song is by the great Billy Joe Royal called, Cherry Hill Park. Billy Joe Royal a one or two hit wonder?.....No Way! .The fifth song is Steams immortal, Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye. This gem is an Anthem and reached # one in December 1969 and most all of us have sung it at one time or another. Especially at a ballgame. Bannarama had a hit with this song in the 80s.
The sixth song is, Venus, by The Shocking Blue which was a huge smash for this band. Bananarama also had a smash hit in 1986 with this one.
The seventh song is Vanity Fare's charming, Early In The Morning. Vanity Fare also has a timeless classic on Vol.Two.
The eighth song is by Mark Lindsay being, Arizona. That song was Mark's first solo hit. As several of you already know; Mark also sang lead vocals for Paul Revere And The Raiders.
The ninth song went all the way to # Two in March 1970 being, The Rapper, by The Jaggerz. A fantastic song by a great band from Pittsburgh.
The tenth song is a beautiful romantic ballad that was nominated for an Oscar called, Come Saturday Morning, by The Sandpipers. It was also featured on the Motion Picture The Sterile Cuckoo with Liza Minilli.
The eleventh song is a very nice bubblegummy like tune by The Cuff Links called, Tracy. This Gem was sung by Ron Dante who also sang lead for The Archies.
And last but definitely not least this disc also has the rockin, Mississippi Queen, by Mountain.
These songs hit their peak between June 1969 and July 1970 and this is definitely a five star disc. As an aging Babyboomer I can say that I still love the music and these twelve songs are twelve more reasons why I still do.
Do I have a favorite tune on this Volume One compilation?.....Yes.....All twelve of them! If you like music from this era this Volume is a must.

+ 1/2 stars...Hit and Miss Affair.......2004-01-03

Before the advent of online services like imusic.com, Rhino Records was THE label for re-releasing old material. As a lifelong music junkie (I own every Top 10 song from 1963 to 1975), I bought at least twenty of their Have A Nice Day series. Not every song is a winner, but many of these songs were not--at least at the time--heavily anthologized.

Were all of these big hits? No. But it's nice to hear Vanity Fares first hit, "Early in the Morning" (No. 12), than the overplayed "Hitchin' a Ride." "Mississippi Queen" only made it to No. 21, but the song rocks! "Come Saturday Morning" (from the movie The Sterile Cuckoo w/ Liza Minnelli) didn't fare much better at No. 17, but again it's a song you get on few other collections.

The big hits were No. 1's like "Venus," "Na Na Hey Hey (Kiss Him Goodbye)," and the million-sellers like "The Rapper" and "Arizona." One of the most enduring songs of the bunch is the one-hit-wonder "More Today Than Yesterday" by the Spiral Starecase. [Check the spelling on that one...amazon.com has it right! It is NOT staircase!]

What would motivate anyone to buy this? Simple...nostalgia. I was a teenager when these songs hit the charts, and they all have a sentimental value to this day. My only gripe is that the playing time on these is pretty short with only twelve songs filling up less than half the disc space. [It was even worse on the cassette version when you got only 10 songs.]

Fantastic Music.......2002-06-16

this is A Fantastic Album And really and Truly love it Including that Catchy Tune More today Than Yesterday by the spiral staircase A Song That Is So is so Lively which goes Through your Head along with The Jaggez The Rapper I wouldn't forget Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him goodbye which Is Sung at All the Sporting Events Highly Recomendable Good Clean Listening

! CAUTION - NOT THE ORIGINAL RECORDINGS!.......2004-06-22

!! CAUTION!!

Re-recordings by the original artists.
Almost as disappointing as if recorded by non-original artists.

Deserves no stars.

Please, do NOT buy this album as we don't want to encourage the powers that be to make or sell remake albums. scottie

UGH!.......2001-03-14

I agree wholeheartedly with one of the other reviewers of this CD--don't waste your money! The songs are nothing but cheap and lousy imitations of the original hits with the one exception of " Treat Her Like a Lady" by the Cornelius Brothers and Sister Rose. So, if you're buying this CD for that song, I'd suggest you continue shopping for another CD.

BW Stevenson still sings like an angel.......1998-11-20

BW Stevenson and Maria Muldhaur carry the event. His voice should have launched him to fortune, what a talent.

One hit wonder cheese-fest.......1998-09-29

Don't be fooled! Original artists but not the original recordings. It sounds as if these 1 hit wonders all got together for a twenty year reunion to put on a cheesy lounge act. Maybe I'm a purist. I like the original recordings that I remember from my youth.

Album Description

Rhino's Have A Nice Day series takes you back to the days of black light posters, eight-track tapes, earth shoes, and bell-bottoms, gathering together the lone hits by those "one-or-two-shot" wonders of the '70s-with many tracks appearing on CD for the first time!

Customer Reviews:

Good Offering But ..........2000-04-10

The "Have A Nice Day-Super Hits Of The Seventies" series put out by Rhino is a decent collection of 70's pop tunes and hard to find singles .. that's where it ends however.Most of the songs are certified hits but quite a few are either "filler" , "wannabe's" or "obscure".The biggest complaint however is how "CHEAP" Rhino got by only putting "12" songs on each disc ! HELLO ? This is the year 2000 not 1970 ! In case Rhino doesn't realize , you can get almost "80" minutes on a CD today ! But then of course they could not RIP YOU OFF and it would have shrunk their profit margin.The sound is great and some of the material has appeared on CD for the first time but nevertheless a disappointment - If Rhino had used the space on the discs more wisely I would have given this a 5 star rating - This goes for the entire series not just volumes 1-4 ...

Baby It's You-----by Smith.......2000-02-03

I agree that not all of these tunes are favorites of mine but,to find songs like"Baby It's You" and "Lay Down(Candles in the Rain)" is worth buying the 4 cd set to get access to these great songs that no radio station plays any more.

Could be Better!.......2000-01-31

Don't waste you time or money on this one. A much better purchase is the 7 CD box set "Have a Nice Decade" produced by Rhino Records. I've taken this set to several parties and my friends can't get enought of it.

The Songs You Can't Forget Even If You Want To.......1999-07-18

Many of the songs in this set were huge hits from the 70's with some No. 1's included. These are songs you listen to and sing along with .

Besides its our responibility to carry on this music because hardly any radio station plays these songs.More Today than Yesterday a pure pop classic.Spirit In The Sky is a rocking gospel number. Ray Price will slow you reeaal down with For The Good Times but Mark Lindsay brings you right back up with Arizona and Silver Bird. If you want to here what the 1970's Top 40 sounded like I strongly recommend this collection. Its got everthing but the Casey Kasem long distance dedication in it.

This is the best 70's collection you will find........1998-10-02

If you were listening to the radio a lot in the 70's, this collection will bring back all those good memories. This series from vol. 1 to vol. 25 has all the hits throughout the 70's. There are a "ton" songs you haven't heard for over 20 years and have forgotten about. When you hear these songs you yell out "I love that song"!. If you didn't listen to the radio a lot from the years of 1970 to 1979, there will be some songs you won't remember. But if music was your life back then, you will want to buy two sets. One for the car and one for the home.
