This was an original online review of volume one for this most excellent series, produced and released by Rhino Records, back in the early to mid '90s. Although the initial review stated that this was a 30-CD series, it actually ended up being only 25 volumes. However, based upon the original statement, I decided to create my own versions of volumes 26 through 30, as there were many more songs that I personally felt should have been included in this most excellent CD series. And, while there were several tracks that were either unavailable on the CD format, or not included due to the lack of space (I decided against going beyond 31 volumes, as I felt that 30 was a nice round number), what eventually was included remains a treasured time capsule of a by-gone era. Therefore, I am now enclosing for you the complete track listings for all 30 volumes. What you have here is a total of 360 classic recordings - 300 songs from the original series, plus 60 bonus tracks. (*) indicates CD bonus tracks NOT featured on the cassette tape versions.
Thus, the track listing is listed below ;

Wow! What a great selection of great music. It's time once again to relive the good old days of those classic vinyl LP compilations from the 70s; the days when K-Tel, Ronco and Adam VIII Ltd. Basically ruled over the turntable. Now, here is your opportunity to go back in time. I am giving away one set of this 30 disc CD collection, absolutely free.
