4 out of 5 stars 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

2 out of 5 stars some good oldies.......2007-04-01

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

5 out of 5 stars 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.

3 out of 5 stars + 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.]

5 out of 5 stars Fantastic Music.......2002-06-16

4 out of 5 stars "Reflections Of My Life" and yours too! Enjoy! .......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.

Volume 2 tries to equal the predecessor. While Volume 1 has better consistency, there are enough essential tracks here. Spirit In The Sky - Norman Greenbaum is still getting airplay today not only on the oldies stations but on classic rock. Reflections Of My Life - The Marmalade with some of the most intense lyrics ever presents a song of both beauty and articulation.

"Hitchin' A Ride"- Vanity Fare is an example of the great days of Top 40. There would be a plethora of memorable tunes that we would call on decades later.

As you give each of the twelve songs a listen see if it brings you back to a specific event or time in your life. Excluding the CD not being filled to capacity, you'll LOVE THE 70's!

Enjoy the music and be well,
Craig Fenton

5 out of 5 stars Tony Burrows Correction.......2006-12-07

All in all a great anthology. Minor correction on the Tony Burrows comments; he had nothing to do with Hitching A Ride (by Vanity Faire). However, he was also the lead vocalist on Beach Baby (First Class) and My Baby Loves Lovin' (White Plains).

5 out of 5 stars One Hit Wonders? I Don't Think So!.......2005-12-11

All good songs on the CD! As for them being AM Radio tunes, thats where Top 40 was located. Many cars did not even have FM mono radios in them yet by 1972! Also nice to know, Tracks 1, 8, 9 and 10 are ALL sung by the same artist. I believe his name was Tony Burrows & he was from Great Britain. He also had a hit with a little novelty tune titled "Gimmie Dat Ding".

5 out of 5 stars This Is A Very Good Volume Of The Have A Nice Day Series !.......2005-09-16

This Volume 2 of the Have A Nice Day series is another nice trip down memory lane and to me it is definately the co-star of the series with Volume 1 being the other. Every song on this Volume 2 peaked in 1970 and I previously owned most of these songs either on Vinyl or tape back in the day and it is great to hear them once again. Vanity Fare's Top Five Smash, Hitchin A Ride, and The Poppy Family's, Which Way You Goin Billy, have always been all-time favorites of mine along with the # 1 hit, Everything Is Beautiful, by the great Ray Stevens and the Top 15 smash, United We Stand, by The Brotherhood Of Man. Everything Is Beautiful, and, United We Stand, are songs of Love, Peace, Hope, Beauty and Unity and they still touch me when I listen to them. Both have very Powerful Lyrics and they Stand Tall even today. Every song on this Volume from the first which is Edision Lighthouse's, Love Grows ( Where My Rosemary Goes ), to the last which is Robin McNamara's, Lay A Little Lovin On Me, is great.
Final Note; As good as a lot of the music is today; these tunes of long ago are still very special to me. Like all Rhino compilations this CD sounds great and evidently this Volume 2 is out of print and starting to become rare.....Why?.....I don't know because I still think it is one of the two best of the series !.....Highly Recommended

2 out of 5 stars Who Cares?.......2005-04-03

Not total garbage but mostly one hit wonders that were really light weight AM radio fare when they were first released. Who knows some of these songs will probably end up in a Tarantino movie I suppose and then they will be cool...

5 out of 5 stars Super Hits of the '70's.......2007-05-12

I bought this because of one song. I'm happy to find it after 30
years!

5 out of 5 stars great memories from 1971-1972.......2007-02-12

A near-perfect compilation! Because if you turned on your radio during January-March,1972, you would have heard EVERY one of these tunes being played! Everyone must be reminded that with this series of CDs, RHINO must obtain licenses from the copyrighted labels in order to re-release them, and not all labels, or Artists, are willing to participate. (Sorry, no Badfinger, T. Rex, Three Dog Night, Neil Young, Harry Nilsson, Carole King, Carpenters, etc.) So how can you be too critical of these recordings? For those of us that were around in those days, AM radio played the TOP 100, not just the "top 10", "top 30", etc. That is why those somewhat forgotten tunes pop up on this series. But I remember every one of them, because everyone of them was being played on the radio. That includes "Son Of My Father", which caught our attention because it was one of the first pop records which arrangement was totally dominated by the MOOG synthesizer

4 out of 5 stars Another great installment of the Have a Nice Day series.......2006-07-28

Bridging the years 1971 and 1972, Vol. 7 of Rhino's Have a Nice Day series once again compiles a number of obscure and unheard hits of the 70s. A few misses here, but the hits are better.

The hot: Lee Michaels' "Do You Know What I Mean" almost becomes irritating because of that terrible organ in the background, but his goofy lyrics kept me listening. Before KOTTER, Sweathog was a band that created a cool rock hit with "Hallelujah". This one doesn't get much radio play these days, but it's a pretty cool rocker. It's pure 1971, and that's why Coven's "One Tin Soldier" is so gosh darn good. There's a reason it kept shooting back up the charts every year! That reason was probably BILLY JACK and its constant re-releases by Tom Laughlin, but it's still a great peace anthem. Jonathan Edwards' "Sunshine" was recently in ANCHORMAN: THE LEGEND OF BURGUNDY, and is a great folk rock tune in the tradition of Richie Havens. Bullet's "White Lies, Blue Eyes" is simply awesome!! It sounds like something that Journey or Styx would have done in the late 70s, early 80s, but as it hit in 1972, it's that much cooler. Redbone's "Witch Queen of New Orleans" isn't as good as their later "Come and Get Your Love", but it's got some great creepy vocals. Pre-dating the disco craze, Apollo 100's "Joy" epitomizes the 70s. When else could you create a dance hit with Beethoven's "Ode to Joy"? Walter Murphy would attempt the same, with more succesful results, with "A Fifth of Beethoven" in 1975, but in '72, "Joy" was the ultimate. "Softly Whispering I Love You" is a real trip! Opening with a boys choir and erupting into a Richard Harris sound-a-like singing wretchedly pining lyrics, one has to wonder if the producers of this record were intending a tongue-in-cheek spoof of this brand of music. Add electric guitar and a rock beat to this, and you've got an incredible relic no one would dare play on oldies stations today. Giorgio's "Son of My Father" has progressive-sounding keyboards (Giorgio, aka Giorgio Moroder, would perfect this sound by the disco era), and not much else, but is a fun listen. Sounds nothing like 1972, except maybe for the phasing.

The not so hot: Poor Melanie. "Brand New Key" is kinda cute, but despite hitting #1, it was more harmful to her career than anything else. Listen to her album LAY DOWN, with an incredible mix of songs and consistenly strong vocals, and then listen to this bubblegum sexual innuendo monstrosity. There is no real comparison. It's cute but not essential. Today's Soft Rock stations play Beverly Bremmer's "Don't Say You Don't Remember" a lot these days, but it's practically the dictionary definition of lame. It sounds more like Donny Osmond like its main inspiration, The Carpenters, and that's a whole different level of cheesiness. Why all the love for Climax's "Precious and Few"? An over-produced piece of fluff sounding like The Partridge Family meets The Brooklyn Bridge, but with none of the kitsch value. It was probably a great make-out hit then, but it doesn't hold up today.

In summary, a very good selection of early 70s hits well worth picking up!

3 out of 5 stars Some Weak Spots, But Some Gems, Too.......2004-02-27

You have to keep reminding yourself that the function of Rhino's Have a Nice Day series is not to present the biggest hits of the decade. If it were, you'd have to include songs like "Maggie May," "American Pie" and "Family Affair," all No. 1 hits in 1971-72 (the period covered by vol. 7). Instead, what Rhino offers is some of the more obscure songs along with a few recognizable hits to give the listener a more accurate picture of the decade.

Admittedly, they sometimes go to the extreme. For example, "Son of My Father" didn't even dent the Top 40. [Who the heck is Giorgio?!!] But it's nice to have Lee Michael's classic "Do You Know What I Mean." And what teenage boy didn't have a crush on Melanie? Her childlike vocals on the million-seller "Brand New Key" still gives me a rush. [Note: This is the only No. 1 song on vol. 7.] In addition it's nice to hear Redbone's earlier hit "Witch Queen of New Orleans." [See? They weren't a one-hit wonder!] Although more than half of these artists hit the Top 40 only once: Sweathog's "Hallelujah" and Coven's "One Tin Soldier" among them. But like I said, all this does is give the listener a broader perspective of the musical tastes (good and bad) of the Seventies. If you were a teenager during this period, many of this songs will bring back fond memories. Enjoy in moderation.

3 out of 5 stars Pick your gems from the mud.......2002-04-05

The songs by English Congregation and Bullet alone make this album worth having. As to the rest, there are a few nice tunes indeed, but I really don't quite see the point in filling up the remaining space on this CD with boring pieces by some obscure names such as J Edwards or Climax. The seventies were full of way more interesting music than that.

3 out of 5 stars Not Bad.......2007-05-25

It's not a bad CD. There are songs that would pair well with Radar Love, My Girl Bill and Rock Me Gently aren't two of them. That said, it's not a bad disc from which to make another. Burned it to my hard drive and made a great CD using this others from the "Have A Nice Day" series. Wish I could afford them all.

5 out of 5 stars WATCH OUT!!!.......2007-01-12

Everybody....EVERYBODY should have a copy of RUN JOEY RUN and with this cd, you can. There are even some other bonus songs to sweeten the pot. DADDY PLEASE DON'T. Buy me this CD instead!!

3 out of 5 stars unusual mix.......2006-01-08

You have the great- Golden Earring, Dave Loggins,Maria Muldaur and the good, Jim Stafford, Wet Willie, mixed in with the just awful. Andy Kim would top the awful list with bo donaldson getting 2 turkeys on one disc. Theres a reason we haven't heard further from First class and Billy Swan too. Just like listening to the radio in 1974 I guess- the good the bad and the ugly.

5 out of 5 stars Pieces of my youth.......2006-02-23

Everytime I get a CD filled with songs from my youth such as Vol 19, I feel young again! What a great mental health break!

I've been looking all over for "Don't Give Up On US Baby" and "I Like Dreaming".

4 out of 5 stars Movie and TV themes...and more!.......2005-04-02

Okay, so this CD has the overplayed "sell out" songs, like "Still The One", used to promote ABC's (?) new season in '76, and the "Rocky" theme that put Stallone on the map, but we also get some great slow ballads. "Torn Between Two Lovers", used as the theme and inspiration for a forgettable TV movie starring Lee Remick, certainly survives well on its own. DJ's used to comment they could not believe "I Like Dreamin'" was only from '76, because it sounded much older, much more "classic". "Don't Give Up On Us", belted out by a fellow who was in a forgettable TV show of his own in his spare time, is still worth humming and quoting. "Jeans On" is musically under-rated, and also notable for its "timestamp" of 70's culture when it mentions the "tiger in my tank". Andrew Gold could do a story song when he tried. Is "Lonely Boy" about his own sibling rivalry problems? Climax Blues Band has an unusually funky entry with "Couldn't Get It Right", even though they went on to a more mellow sound in 1981 with "I Love You". "Undercover Angel", another fun but naughty 70's song, has a special place in my heart. Used to blush every time I heard it.

5 out of 5 stars Rating 100%.......2004-05-30

A continuation of the "Have a Nice Day" CD series, Volume 19 is another truck load of hits. This Volume seems to contain a bunch of tracks from the 1977 era. Do you remember what you were doing back then??

All of the CD's in this series contain extensive sleeve notes on all the tracks with release dates. There's that radio classic which I think we've all heard a thousand times?.. 10CC's "the things we do for love". This volume has a number of tracks that have been released on CD for the first time. What about Burton Cummings "stand tall". Other tracks include the original Rocky theme, Orleans "still the one", Mary MacGregor's "Torn between two lovers", Adam O day's "undercover angel", Andrew Gold's "lonely boy" and a few tracks I've never really heard of. But for the songs I've listed, certainly make this disc worthwhile

5 out of 5 stars I'm Still Having Fun And Its Still The One!.......2003-07-04

I've had this disc since 1993 and it still an entertaining,relaxing piece of nostalgia today."Super Hits Of The 70's:Have A Nice Day Vol.19" is an amazing recap of the softer side of 1977,featuring such super-guilty-pleasures like Mary MacGregor's "Torn Between Two Lovers",former Guess Who frontman's Burton Cummings "Stand Tall","Starksy And Hutch" actor David Soul's "Don't Give Up On Us",Andrew Gold's "Lonely Boy",Kenny Nolan's "I Like Dreamin",and Alan O'Day's oh-so-70's "Undercover Angel" along with likable,upbeat soft-rockers like Orleans "Still The One",Climax Blues Band's "Couldn't Get It Right" and 10cc's "The Things We Do For Love".The catchy TV jingle(David Dundas's "Jeans On")and the ubiquitous "Rocky" theme(Bill Conti's "Gonna Fly Now")provide contrast to the sweet,sentimental pop of the rest of the set,but for the most part,HANY Vol.19 captures the 70's at its sappiest,which means it's completly successful in its goals.(By the way,all these songs made the Top 20,10 of which made the Top 10,and 4 of which made it all the way to No.1!)

5 out of 5 stars Your Still the One and I got my Jeans On.......2003-02-24

Even though that I'm born in 1980, I like music from the 1970's/1980's (except for some of that new wave ...) cause the songs have a better tone to it and everytime when I do listen to those songs, it just makes me wanna sing.

If you grew up during the 1976-77 period and love pop music, then you should buy this CD cause it has some songs that you haven't heard of in years and you probably remember the Top 10 hits like Still the One, Stand Tall, Torn Between Two Lovers, Don't Give Up on Us, Lonely Boy, Undercover Angel and Couldn't Get it Right, boy aren't those great songs, if you're more into the heavier stuff of the 70's then this music isn't meant for you but if you like ballads and pop tunes then it's recommended just for you.

5 out of 5 stars The Best.......2007-05-10

In my humble opinion, this is the best of the series. Music of this era is judged by the memories it invokes for me. These are very pleasant, but I believe some of these songs are good enough on their own to be hits today, too.

5 out of 5 stars echoes from my teenage past.......2007-01-10

hands down my favorite track on this cd is Starland Vocal Band's AFTERNOON DELIGHT. When I was a teenager I heard it so much I think it just buried itself in my subconscious, then after a few years of not hearing it on the radio, I'd wondered if somebody had successfully erased it from the American conscious. I had to look no farther than Amazon in a search. After all these years there it was, and it unlocked a plethora of memories for me. I recalled amusement parks, campgrounds, cookouts, and yes, even a few teenage romances! Keg parties, etc. I can't guarantee it'll do the same for other buyers but there are some songs on this cd you will recognize if you grew up in the 70's

5 out of 5 stars Great collection of hits from the 70's.......2006-07-13

This is a great collection of hits from the 70's. It is packed with hits. It is a great addition to a 70's hits collection.

4 out of 5 stars Pleasantly Surprised.......2005-10-13

To be honest, I impulsively bought this CD at Best Buy when I couldn't find a copy of Sugar's Copper Blue. No matter--this particular CD contains some of the best singles from 1975-76 for those of us who can't afford iPods. IMO, the two best tracks are the Bellamy Bros. country-tinged "Let Your Love Flow" followed by the gospelly-blues of Elvin Bishop's "Fooled Around And Fell In Love". The amazing sound quality on these two songs makes it hard to believe these tracks are 30 years old! "Dream Weaver" suffers from a horrible edit, but this song is still a classic. Also of note is Starbuck's porn-friendly "Moonlight Feels Right" which contains the best xylophone solo on this side of a cruise ship! Skip tracks 7 thru 9--inclusions could have been "Crazy on You" by Heart or Queen's "You're My Best Friend". Still, 9 good/great songs out of 12 is pretty good for a CD only that cost me $11 Cdn. A real bargain!

3 out of 5 stars beware of the Dream Weaver.......2005-06-20

Overall, this isn't a bad collection. However, I was highly dissapointed with the mix of Dream Weaver. I remember listening to the song on the radio in the 70s and thinking that the crescendo keyboards leading up to the ending was a very cool piece of music. Unfortunately, whoever mixed this edit did not(find that ending cool), as the song is quickly faded out 60 seconds pre-maturely. Some decent liner notes accompany the CD as well

5 out of 5 stars Oldies but Goodies.......2006-11-10

I ordered this CD for one song specifically, "Falling" by Lenny LeBlanc and Pete Carr. All the other songs were a bonus. The memories from my teen years came flooding back as I listened. Those of us who grew up in the 70's had the very best music as the soundtrack for our lives. "Falling" is truly one of the most beautiful songs ever....I cried and cried as I listened, reflecting on times past and loved ones I've lost.

4 out of 5 stars Have A Nice Day: Volume 25 Is A Good Finale For This Series!.......2006-08-15

Now that I finally own all Volumes of this, Have A Nice Day, Series; I wanted to brief you a little bit on the final one of the series which is this Volume 25. I rated it 4 stars because I liked it. I think it is one of the better Volumes.
Several good songs give a strong presence here. Personal favorites are, Lead Me On, Shake It, My Angel Baby, and , Love Takes Time, plus there is also one song on this Volume that I want to brag about and with good reason. I have always been a sucker for Ballads and there have been plenty of good ones over the years.....but two Ballads hit the airwaves in the latter 70s that I consider two of the best ever and one of them is right here being LeBlanc and Carr's, Falling. The other can be found on 1979 Billboard Top Hits called, Just When I Needed You Most, by the late great Randy Vanwarmer....Very Nice!
Speaking for the entire H.A.N.D. series....Volume 18 is the only store bought Volume I own and it was my first.....I purchased the other 24 online (Thanks Guys and/or Gals) and this Volume 25 was one of the first to catch my eye. I also have several other favorite Volumes besides this one. I think Volumes 6 and 23 are the weakest but they are still decent. In otherwords.....it is a good series and well worth having. I have found after all these years that these 300 songs on this series (plus so many other songs from that era) sound even better the second time around and they will never get old! Ya know.....In 1975; The Great Band, Chicago, came out with a very good nostalgic tune called, Old Days, and Peter Cetera pretty much sums it up with the lyrics when he said they.....Take Me Back To A World Gone Away; Memories Seem Like Yesterday.....and he was (and still is) right. Now we can say the same thing not only about that song; but also about the entire 70s H.A.N.D. Series and all the other good music and fun happenings that we had back then.....How Time Flies!

5 out of 5 stars The Best Collection Of 70's Music Out There--Hands Down.......2006-06-21

Instead of giving an individual review of each volume in this series, I decided to give one review on the final volume of the series.

As a child in the 70s I grew up hearing these songs on the radio and the entire series really gave me a feeling of nostalgia. When I started collecting this series, I didn't always know each artist or even each song title, but once I spun the disc, the lyrics to these songs came back from the dark void of my memory. That was half the fun of this whole series. Volume 13 was the one volume in the entire series that I remebered each song. Volumes 12, 13, 14 and 15 are my favorite volumes.

Not each volume is a winner. Volumes 4, and 6 I felt weren't that great of volumes, but each volume contains at least 4-5 great gems. Again, the entire series is great.

This series and Rhino's Didn't It Blow Your Mind series are hands down the best series of 70's music out there. I give both series five stars. If there was one thing that I felt that Rhino missed on these was that they didn't take each series out to five more volumes. The would have given Have A Nice Day 30 volumes and Didn't It Blow Your Mind 25 volumes. Either way, the Have A Nice Day series is my favorite 70s music complilation series and it has gotten lots of use in my CD player.

If you like quirky AM pop from the 70s, then this series is for you. You won't regret it. If your looking for more of the FM style 70s music, then get Time/Lifes Sound of the 70s.

After reading several reviews for the various volumes in this series, it's clear the some people missed the entire point of this series. This entire series was supposed to resemble or be a throw back to those infamous compilation LPs from K-Tel that were everywhere in the 70s. This series wasn't supposed to have great songs. Just memorable ones.

5 out of 5 stars If you are HARD CORE 70's...............2006-01-02

.....this entire collection is for you! This is the only collection where I could find ALL THE SONGS I listened to on AM RADIO! ALL 25 VOLUMES ARE A MUST for your 70's collection! So what - some of the songs aren't Top 10 hits - but they were part of your life if you loved 70's AM Radio! If you bought 45's - If you bought albums - If you listened to the radio - you know these songs! If you want repetitive Top 10 songs, then get another collection. If you truly want the songs of the 70's.... GET ALL 25 VOLUMES of "HAVE A NICE DAY!"

4 out of 5 stars You get too much you get too high..........2004-05-20

Well, several volumes of the Rhino collection aren't perfect, but they all bring us back in their own inimitable way. "Love Is Like Oxygen" has the perfect lyrical "hook" as well as a variety of musical gimmicks. "How Much I Feel" is either totally saccharine or a genuine tearjerker depending on your point of view, but they sure sang it like they felt it. Wow! "Falling", a slowdance harmony classic for the next hundred years, is rightfully included here, too. Gino Vanelli can take his big 'fro elsewhere for all I care, but I'm sure he has his fans (in Montreal and elsewhere). "5705" and "New York Groove" appear to have been included for archival purposes only. Did anyone actually like those songs when they came out? "My Angel Baby", an instant classic, joins the pantheon of 50's-sound "stroll" tunes, and its similarities to Robert John's "Sad Eyes" are obvious (once the Rhino folks call attention to this in their liner notes). "Love Takes Time" and "Shake It" contain a strong sexual subtext, hearkening back to an era where songs couldn't be "explicit" in their lyrics. "Get Used To It", an upbeat one-hit wonder, remains one of the few songs of the rock era using a synthesized harpsichord. Maxine's "Lead Me On" slows the tempo as the CD concludes with the anarchistic, defeatist "Oh Well" ("I can't sing, I ain't pretty, and my legs are thin"). You need this CD. Get it now, so you know what the originals sounded like before Jewel and/or Lenny Kravitz records a re-make!

4 out of 5 stars "In The Summertime" and all seasons its a Nice Day! .......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.

Are you ready for Volume 3? "Lay Down (Candles In The Rain)" - (Melanie) is the proper opening track. A tremendous vocal by Melanie and maybe her best gets the party started.

"Tighter, Tighter" - (Alive & Kicking) is everything you wanted in a short rock and roll tune. Great energy and a true 1970's classic!

"Green-Eyed Lady" - (Sugarloaf) One of the tunes that stood the test of time both as a Top 40 hit and often as the main course on the classic rockers! The keyboards will hook you immediately.

"Indiana Wants Me" - (R. Dean Taylor) If you listen to this song one time or twenty-seven, you always feel as if you are experiencing the character's run from the law as it happens. Tremendous imagery through the well constructed lyrics.

Only pitfall is the total playing time of the disc!

Enjoy the music and be well,
Craig Fenton
Author of the Jefferson Airplane book "Take Me To A Circus Tent"

5 out of 5 stars Tighter, Tighter.......2006-02-02

I bought this CD for Alive And Kicking's Song "Tighter, Tighter"
The other songs on this CD are good, Lots of great songs but Tighter, Tighter is the BOMB, If you buy this CD for just this song, it is money well spent!

3 out of 5 stars Have A Nice Day; Not As Good As Volumes 1 & 2 But Good !.......2005-09-15

Although this Volume 3 of the Have A Nice Day series isn't as strong from start to finish as Volume's 1 & 2 it does have it's share of outstanding Gems. Two of them are, Lay Down (Candles In The Rain), sung by Melanie; With The Edwin Hawkins Singers and, Green Eyed Lady, by Sugarloaf. The Partridge Family's, I Think I Love You, was # 1 in November 1970 and it is also here. The Legendary Jerry Reed's, Amos Moses, reached the Top 10 In March 1971 and Brian Hyland had a # 3 smash in December 1970 with, Gypsy Woman, and both of them are also here but THE highlight of this Volume 3 compilation is Alive & Kicking's, Tighter Tighter. This song was a Top 10 Hit In August 1970 and should have went to # 1 but didn't. Along with, Gypsy Woman, it is definitely my favorite on this Disc!
These twelve songs peaked between July 1970 and August 1971. Volume 3 is definitely a worthwhile purchase. I mean afterall.....Back in the 70s I owned most of these twelve songs either on Vinyl or Tape and they have never sounded better than they do on this CD. Isn't technology amazing! 3.5 Stars
Final Note: I own both the cassette and the CD of this Volume 3 and the CD has twelve tunes while the cassette only has ten. The two extra tracks on the CD are Bobby Sherman's Top 10 Hit, Julie; Do Ya Love Me, and Punch's, Fallin Lady. Both are good tunes.

3 out of 5 stars + 1/2 stars...Some of the Biggest Hits of 1970.......2004-02-20

That Rhino Records has kept this series in print proves that there's is still a market for these songs. And while I have at least twenty of these titles in my collection, the current crop of pay-per-download websites gives the consumer total control over song selection, making these kinds of collections more and more obsolete when you consider that you're still paying a dollar per song either way.

Like the previous volumes, it's a mixed bag of mostly MOR pop hits from one- and two-hit wonders. In fact, only three of these artists had any kind of extended musical career. Unlike Rhino's Sixties-oriented TOP ROCK 'N' ROLL series, which included many artists with multiple hits, the HAVE A NICE DAY series does not include major acts of the period like Rod Stewart, Three Dog Night or the Carpenters. These are --in many cases--songs that are infrequently anthologized, giving you a broader look at the early Seventies. [Each of these songs, by the way, were released in 1970.]

In addition, most of these were Top 10 hits (although "Fallin' Lady" didn't even dent the Top 40), and half of them were million sellers like the gospel-influenced "Lay Down (Candles in the Rain)," the quirky "In the Summertime," Bryan Hyland's lone Seventies smash "Gypsy Woman," the Partridge Family's signature song "I Think I Love You," the countrified funk of Jerry Reed's novelty "Amos Moses" and Bobby Sherman's schmaltzy "Julie, Do Ya Love Me." These are all original hit versions and the sound quality is empeccable. It's just a matter of how badly you want each of these songs.

4 out of 5 stars Good mix of '70s pop sounds.......2000-06-29

Volume III of the Superhits Series provides a solid musical sampling of the kaleidoscope of sounds and influences that made up early 70s pop. From the bubblegummy "I Think I Love You" to the borderline hard "Green-Eyed Lady", this disc has it all.

There is Melanie's Joplin-esque "Lay Down (Candles in the Rain)", a truly marvelous song, and R. Dean Taylor's hard-to-find, country-influenced "Indiana Wants Me." Jerry Reed's "Amos Moses" has an even stronger country flavor and Bobby Bloom's "Montego Bay" features a gentle hint of calypso sound.

Although not expensive, it is hard to classify this disc as a top value. Like all of the offerings in the series, Volume III contains only twelve tracks, and the last two are virtual throw aways. However, considering the investment of time that would be required to locate all of these relatively obscure tunes, this is still quite a bargain.

3 out of 5 stars Thank You for Being a Friend.......2006-11-10

I purchased this CD to complete my Super Hits collection. I now have all of the CD's. Not a lot on here I like, but "Thank You for Being a Friend" is worth the purchase. Andrew Gold didn't offer a lot, but this song always results in good thoughts and memories.

4 out of 5 stars A wide sampling of late 70's top-40.......2004-03-09

OK, maybe some of these tunes are not destined to be standards thirty years from now, but this volume does cast a broad net over the singles on the top-40 charts during the later 70's. Some one-hit wonders, some teeny-bopper fluff, some more substantial musical works and a few lesser-charting follow-ups show up in this near-the-end volume in the series. And rather than being a detriment, the inclusion of other charting hits by artists who had other more popular tunes is actually a refreshing benefit. Who needs to have the same oft-repeated stuff show up for the umpteenth time on a 70's collection? But this grouping is not of slouches by any means as nearly half of the included tracks were top-10 pop charters. As with other volumes in the series, there are readable trivia for each of the included tunes and while nothing revelatory is evident, the sound quality is respectable with all tracks in stereo. Contrary to what seems the general consensus, this volume does offer collectors of the era's pop music more pluses than minuses and is definitely a worthwhile addition to the series.

3 out of 5 stars Weaker effort.......2001-07-11

"Super Hits of the '70's - Have A Nice Day Vol. 24" contains an even balance of strong and weak latter '70's Top 40 hits. The CD's strong points are well stated in the tracks "Makin' It" (David Naughton),"Save Your Kisses For Me" (Brotherhood Of Man), the unique and untimely instrumental "Feels So Good" (Chuck Mangione), the Bee Gees penned "Emotion" (Samantha Sang). The strongest of these strong points in this collection is the Andrew Gold smash "Thank You For Being A Friend" (which, of course was later re-recorded by an unknown artist and was used as the theme of the hit '80's sitcom "The Golden Girls"). Let's not forget the Elvis Presley tribute song "The King Is Gone", complete with a well-styled Presley-like vocal, courtesy of Ronnie McDowell. Unfortunately, the weaker tracks noticeably offset the stronger ones. Therefore, Rhino could have put better songs in the place of such horrendous tracks as the Eric Carmen penned "Hey Deanie" (Shaun Cassidy), "Love Fire" (Jigsaw), "Everybody Be Dancin'" (Starbuck) [with these two groups putting out much stronger previous tracks with "Sky High" and "Moonlight Feels Right", respectively, which are also contained in previous volumes in this '70's series] and perhaps the most horrendous track of all, which rears its' ugly head here with "Did You Boogie With Your Baby" (Flash Cadillac & The Continental Kids). "Vol. 24" provides adequate middle ground, as featured in the tracks "Heaven On The 7th Floor" (Paul Nicholas) and in the doo-wop styled "Street Corner Serenade" (Wet Willie). Even though "Vol. 24" is perhaps the most mediocre effort of this 25 volume CD series, you'll find that there are better volumes in this series, hands down. "Vol. 24" is recommended for completists only.

2 out of 5 stars There are better volumes.........2000-11-23

but this one isnt all that bad, it has rarities in it. "emotion" by samantha sang is one of them. She vanished after that effort (which was produced by the BeeGees) but what a hit it was. I guess if you are going to soak the money into the complete series, you need this volume.

3 out of 5 stars The worst CD in the series, but still essential.......2000-02-15

Yes, this CD is the bummer of the series of 25, but "Thank You For Being A Friend" and "Did You Boogie" pull it out of the fire and make it worth buying.
