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!

 1977 - can it be 31 years ago? May 25, 2008
I was not quite ten years old when my firends and I first listened to these hits on Seattle's popular radio station KJR. We had our own 'radio studio' at our elementary school called KIDS, and we played these hits on 45 rpm vinyl over the school's PA system during the lunch break. Billboard has put together a nice compilation from that year, including the relatively seldom heard "Couldn't Get It Right" by Climax Blues Band. This CD will be in your changer for many days as you re-live 1977 all over again!

Rhino Records pulls through again with a great, inexpensive selection of hits from 1977. Listening to the CD brought back fond memories for me of happier times when my life wasn't so complicated!
The selection of songs is really very good. I especially like the romantic "Undercover Angel" by Alan O'Day; Peter Frampton doing an awesome job with " I'm In You;" the joyous and infectious melody of "You Make Me Feel Like Dancing" by Leo Sayer; the rockin' "I'm Your Boogie Man" by KC & The Sunshine Band; and the playful disco classic "Car Wash" by Rose Royce. Sure, "Car Wash" is disco and so maybe it's not the best choice for a rock hits CD; but, then again, who cares? It's a fun song with a terrific beat and a well executed musical arrangement that practically begs your unconscious to jump up and start DANCING !!!
The quality of the music is great; but as always with this series that Rhino put out the liner notes are sparse. My main disappointment (and the reason I am giving this CD four stars instead of five stars) is that Rhino limited this CD series to ten songs per CD. Not eleven, not nine, not twelve--just ten and exactly ten. There's more than enough room left on the CD for at least one or two more songs--why couldn't a little more be added? Nevertheless, for the price it's a good buy.
Overall, the CD mainly stays to rock and roll but it swings a little bit into disco especially with the last track, "Car Wash." I highly recommend this CD for people who want to enjoy fond memories of years gone by and obviously this will be a delight for fans of '70s music. It's very affordable and that's always a nice plus! Enjoy this when you boogie! SMILES

Real quick, if it doesn't have "Hotel California" or "New Kid In Town" it doesn't represent 1977.

In my opinion the year of 1977 was a great year for music. Although some would say that the Disco stuff was trash, this CD blends not only rock, jazz and blues but gives us a taste of what people were dancing to in the clubs. If you are into different styles then this is the one for you.
