70's Greatest Rock Hits #1 Hits Vol.9.......2007-05-14

This album along with the other volumes (1-15) provide a very nice collection of 70's Rock Hits. Used condition of CD was found to be in good condition and played with out any noticable loss of sound quality.

All the hits.......2007-03-21

This CD is GREAT!!! My wife loves it too! From the first song to the last song, you'll be singing along and getting down like you did back in the seventies. *****

Solid Seventies CD.......2007-01-12

You know for a decade much derided by shriveled exhippy babyboomers from the 60s, the 70s certainly produced a mountain of memorable and creative tunes. This is a great CD with some of the decade's best stuff.

A decent collection of mostly one hit wonders from the 1970s.......2003-11-06

Volume 9 in the "70's Greatest Rock Hits" collection is one of the more thematic offerings in the series, with most of the songs being about love (or the absence thereof). You do have to be wary of the sugar content on some of these songs, such as the Captain & Tennille's "Love Will Keep Us Together" and "He Don't Love You (Like I Love You)" from Tony Orlando & Dawn. But then you have one hit wonder Gilbert O'Sullivan's "Alone Again (Naturally)," which balances out all of the sweetness all by itself. There are only ten tracks on this album, but most of them are in that one hit wonder mold so if you are missing B.J. Thomas' "Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head," Terry Jacks' "Seasons in the Sun," and "Escape (Pina Colada Song)" by Rupert Holmes, this is a good way of filling some holes in your music library with regards to minor hits from the Seventies because unless you are a big fan of Tony Orlando and Dawn or the Partridge Family, you are probably not going to have three or four albums actually put out by these artists.

This is a great CD!.......1998-12-03

I love this CD! Whenever I have homework or a test to study for, this one goes right into the player. My favorite songs are "Ventura Highway" by America and "Dream Weaver" by Gary Wright. Don't delay, buy "70's Greatest Rock Hits Volume 6: FM Hits" today!

Customer Reviews:

Don't Waste Your Money.......2005-06-21

If you want the original recordings, don't purchase any volume of Television's Greatest Hits. I've had better luck recording the songs off of my TV with a cassette tape recorder and then dehissing them on my PC. These collections have sterile sounding fake stereo recordings of "The Beverly Hillbillies" and "The Munsters" that just don't sound right to me. If the original recordings don't matter to you, then you may like this CD.

Record the Originals or Don't Bother!.......2005-01-09

Most of these are re-renditions of the originals. Most people shopping for a CD like this would know right away upon hearing the samples that this CD is not what they're looking for.

Who has produced CDs with ALL ORIGINAL recordings? This CD deserves zero stars.

Television's Greatest Hits,Volume 1:From 50's And '60's(TVT).......2005-01-04

Have always dug this collection of them old TV shows from when I was a kid and a even a few before I was born.A total of 65 TV themes,with a duration of 72:17,was originally available as a double lp.Ones that gave me some of those 'special' childhood memories were "The Little Rascals(Good Old Days)","The Flintstones",the "Bugs Bunny Overture","The Munsters"(remember the Herman Munster laugh?),the always corny "Leave It To Beaver" and "Dragnet(Theme And March)" as I remember my dorky history teacher from way back when that recorded this tune off the TV set and repeatedly played during the eighth hour period after school.Believe me,we watched our behavior after an hour of hearing this tune something like forty times in an hour's time.A nice disc to have around as a novelty.

The best of the bunch.......2004-10-03

This is the first of the TV themes CDs and it's the best. Even the old shows I'd never heard of like "Fireball X-L5" have awsome themes. There are a few songs that I'm pretty sure aren't the original recordings (like secret agent man) but are actually a little better, with is unusual.

What time is it?.......2004-06-30

Ah, memories! I remember buying this on vinyl when it first came out in 1985. There are a few tracks on the 2 LP version that were left off of the CD version because of time constraints. The LP version was hosted by Don Pardo. The first track on side one was "Peter Gynt-Morning Suite", where Don Pardo signs on and begins the broadcast day. Side one ends with Don Pardo announcing a "Test of the Emergency Broadcast System" and then playing "Duck and Cover", a Civil Defense Department public service announcement telling kids how to survive a nuclear bomb attack. Side two ends with Don Pardo announcing "We are experiencing technical difficulties, please stand by". Side three ends with the "News Medley", which features Don Pardo introducing a "medley" of TV news reporters saying a line or two. Side four ends with Don Pardo announcing the end of the broadcast day and then playing "Our National Anthem". Everything else on the album version (65 TV themes from the '50s and '60s) is the same as on the CD version. How much you enjoy this CD depends on how much nostalgia you feel for old TV shows. Personally, I love this stuff. It must be pointed out that some of these themes have been rerecorded for this album. It's hard to say how many are rerecordings, but to my ears, over half of them seem to be rerecordings. But I honestly don't mind that. They went to such lengths to make the songs sound as much like the originals as possible, that most people probably won't be able to tell the difference. This is a great trip back to the Golden Age of TV theme songs that is a blast for nostalgia buffs like me.

More like Three and a Half Stars.......2006-02-05

When I think of the piano, the first composer that comes to my mind is Chopin. Chopin was a composer who excelled in small form writing for the piano. He wrote beautiful melodies with complex accompaniment that was both challenging for the performer and enlightening for the listener. Chopin did not write many multi-movement pieces and what he did write is generally not as good as his solo piano pieces anyway (this is my opinion, not a fact).
When buying recordings of Chopin's music, there are basically two options. You can either go with a "Greatest Hits" type collection, which works very well with Chopin, or you can buy collections that assemble all he wrote for a certain form (preludes, nocturnes, etudes, etc...). If you are new to Chopin, I suggest buying a "Greatest Hits" collection, though not necessarily this one, even though this is the CD in my car right now. The playing is okay but it's nothing really that special. Considering all the masterful Chopin interpreters out there, such as Rubinstein, Ashkenazy, Argerich, Pollini, and Perahia, it seems silly not to start with a pianist that you really love, since almost every great pianist has recorded works by Chopin. Having said that, this collection contains almost all my favorite works by Chopin, my only complaint being I wish it had more than one nocturne. Thus it serves as a good introduction to Chopin's music. I would recommend the Favorite Chopin collection by Ashkenazy over this collection because not only is he an amazing pianist and a masterful interpreter of Chopin, but it's two discs for the price of one.

Good, not Great.......2002-03-02

Revolutionary Etude and many other performers are good. However, Fanastie Impromptu I've heard performed much better. Raindrop Prelude is played okay, but the song is so low in volume that I can hardly hear it. Good deal though.

Five Stars for Chopin.......2002-01-27

What can I say! This is a wonderful collection of music. I highly recommend it for anyone who loves his music.

Chopn's Greatest Hits.......2001-04-08

Not a good version of Les Sylphides (#17); which is only a 5 minute excerpt. Any other Les Sylphides pieces are sprinkled throughout the CD as piano.

Fantastic!!.......1999-08-15

Frederic Chopin is a very talented artist and composer. A must have of any Chopin collector.

Television's Greatest Hits, Vol.2: From the 50's and 60's.......2007-06-11

Music preview helped sell the product, fast delivery and condition just as described.
Great doing business A++

Yes, they are all originals.......2005-09-19

I have had this since it came out, they are the original themes. The only 'surprises' are for shows that had different versions of the themes, usually then they choose the less familiar version (unfortunately). Still, completely awesome.

There's no need to fear!.......2005-09-11

This is a collection of "65 more TV themes from the 50s and 60s". Most of the themes are re-recordings of the original themes, but most people will be hard pressed to distinguish the re-recordings from the original versions. The re-recordings sound almost exactly like the original versions, except with better sound fidelity. The easiest way to tell which tracks are re-recordings is that the new recordings are in stereo, and it is highly doubtful that original television themes from the 50s or 60s would be in stereo. But regardless of that, this CD is a fun listen for fans of old TV shows.

TV themes galore.......2005-06-28

If you're looking for some of the best TV themes created-of some of the best shows ever-volume two is probably the NUMBER ONE volume to get. Veering away from the shows of the 70s is not a bad move(have you heard the jazz fusion tracks of "Emergency!", "Medical Center", & "Police Woman"? Yeesh!) This one is still a mixed bag(I mean, let's face it, there are only so many listenable themes), but this one is unique in that it has a number of those themes that were sung(mainly westerns, like Bat Masterson, Maverick, and Rawhide, with better lyrics and melodies than, say, The Flintstones or Gilligan's Island's ballads), some of the best jazz-oriented lounge pieces, which are easily amongst the best and most listenable TV themes of all time(The Avengers, The Saint, Route 66, Green Hornet, Peter Gunn, The Pink Panther, Bewitched, The Honeymooners, Jonny Quest), and a number of the most complimentary TV themes, pointed toward the show's own premise, sometimes with sound effects to boot(Daktari, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea-you really feel as if you're coasting the lower fathoms, Rat Patrol, Twelve O'Clock High-emitting the wild blue yonder, Hogan's Heroes-scored to a german march). As far as the reviews stating that a good number of these are remakes, if you pay attention to the awkwardness of sound quality from piece to piece, it's quite evident that most of these have that non-restored sound(and why would recreations not be better dubbed?), cancelling out those reviews. Also, for those who believe that "Bewitched" and others have been modified somewhat, this is not the reason behind the additional notes. Some of these are actually the original scores, before they were cut to their shorter versions. With this in mind, it's quite evident that "The Avengers" and "Bewitched" themes are best in their original format, as a full scoring, and not the trunkated versions used for the show. However, I can see where I would have maybe thought the same thing if I hadn't known this information.

I count maybe 7 or 8 recreations out of 65 themes.......2005-01-30

Some of these reviews are WACKY that say most or all the tracks here are recreations. I just went through them all in this volume, and my guess is about 8 are recreations, maybe less. Some are obvious (Bewitched), others are not so obvious. I have a sick gift a being able to remember the tempo and aound of these original themes, and you'll fine that 90% of these are "The Real McCoys" (Volume 4). I don't think these reviewers appreciate that Steve Gottlieb was able to get access to studio recordings of the original themes in some cases, so in some cases the fidelity is remarkable. Good fidelity in sound does not mean a remake...

I have all the TV tunes volumes and some are dissappointing remakes (Bonanza, The Virginian, 77 Sunset Strip) but far and away the vast majority are originals and you won't find them anywhere else but on these remarkable collections. They are hysterical to listen to these songs... It's like taking a time machine (wayback machine?) back to the times these shows were on.

Buy it, you'll like it...

Fine collection of 70s radio rock.......2003-06-24

This generous collection (clocking in at a disc-stuffing 76:55) is filled with the radio candy that kept ears glued to the dial throughout the 70s. It may very well represent the last great gasp of top-40 radio, wherein the experimental sounds of 60s FM progressive rock were strained through the pop sensibilities of the AM hit single machine. These twenty selections focus on the rock hits of the 70s, eschewing other movements like disco, teen pop, and singer/songwriters (some of which are covered on other volumes of this series).

From Boston's intricately layered "More Than a Feeling" to Lynyrd Skynyrd's anthemic "Sweet Home Alabama," the electric guitar was rock radio's focal point, with outsized riffs (courtesy of Mick Ralphs, Paul Kossoff, Steve Miller, Carlos Santana, and Duane Allman, among others) topped by swaggering vocals from the likes of Paul Rodgers (Bad Company and Free) and Lou Gramm (Foreigner). The result filled arenas and summer days-on-the-green around the world.

Even acoustic numbers like Kansas' "Dust in the Wind" and novelties like Brownsville Station's "Smokin' in the Boys Room" resound with the era's allegiance to the overboard. Covers by Santana ("Black Magic Woman," originally waxed by Fleetwood Mac) and Nazareth ("Love Hurts," originally a hit for the Everly Brothers) became amped-up icons that buried the earlier incarnations for many listeners.

Though twenty tracks barely scratches the surface -- even in this relatively narrow swath of 70s hit music -- this is a solid hour-plus of party music that's sure to revive a few memories. It's like listening to your favorite Classic Rock station without the commercials!

Sounds GREAT..........2006-11-16

I am going to review many Time-Life items that I have purchased over the years - Sounds of the 70's, Sounds of the 70's (Take Two), Legends of Rock & Roll, numerous 60's CDs & 50's CDs. The recordings are excellent and I know all the tunes - most have at least 18 songs. I would recommend any of Time-Life's compilations to anyone, who is looking for a great CD with alot of songs, we all know. The only complaint I have is that the CDs should have been maximized on the 50's & 60's selections. All in all, a very good purchase...

Customer Reviews:

Hand me the remote control........2006-01-29

This is a collection of 65 TV themes from the '70s and '80s. They all seem to be the original versions of the themes, unlike some of the earlier volumes in the series, which had some rerecordings. These are the TV shows I grew up with, so there is a lot of nostalgia here for me. I like the sitcom themes the best, because that is mostly what I watched when I was a kid. A lot of them are really cheesy, but I love 'em. If you watched too much TV during the '70s and '80s, you will probably get a kick out of this CD.

From TV LAnd to AOL getting soon re runs of series...This is a MUST!.......2005-12-26

Well, it seems that from TV LAnd to Nick at Night even AOL which is on the way to create a service that will allows his users to view series from th 60's to now, people WANT good series with fun again.

No gratuitous violence like too many shows now (which, that is good, are going back in numbers since last year 2004).

Those misics like the shows are classics because they were good fun AND with adventures not cheap series made with unecessary violence or sex.
So...it seems that it is coming back! So, why not get the album too?

great service.......2005-07-07

very fast service, item arrived in good condition. would buy from again

Most are originals (for a change for this series).......2005-01-09

This is the first of this series that offers mostly (not all) original renditions of the TV theme songs.

Maybe it's because many of these were by stars or singers who are known by the public, but whatever the reason this edition is a big improvement.

I would NOT recommend ANY of the earlier volumes in this series if you're seriously looking for original recordings.

Good Original TV versions!.......2002-04-24

I was relieved when I found this CD had all original TV versions, compared to the usual unfamiliar orchestra versions you usually get on a compilation - that really frustrates me. Especially when I came to "The Dukes of Hazzard" - the version Waylon Jennings released on record just didn't have the same drive or edge to it as the one played on TV. That has always been disapointing for me until I saw here the original on CD.
Themes like "Diff'rent Strokes" and "Alf" and "The Golden Girls" are really refreshing and a reminder of the old familiar innocence and laid back atmosphere of TV family comedy, while "Airwolf", "Doctor Who" and "People's Court" and "Monday Night Football" give a lively and yet serious feel.
However, I think there might be an error in the CD liner notes; they describe the theme to "James at 15" as vintage 70s pop/rock, and say the song itself is called "It's all up to you."
I never saw this show, and the words "It's all up to you" do not appear in the song. I would like to know if anyone can enlighten me as to whether or not this was a mistake, as with the exception of this theme being vaguely reminiscent of Elton John's piano and harmonica style of pop/rock, I find this hard to believe.

More holiday classics!.......2007-01-11

Can you say Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer?! My family can. This cd was full of fun songs for the entire family. A must purchase!

The Only Christmas Music I Can Tolerate.......2004-12-23

My grandmother used to have this collection on CD when I was younger, and to this day it's really the only Christmas music I really enjoy listening to. I pretty much hate everything else, it's all very annoying, but this collection is great! It has a really great version of "White Christmas" by The Drifters and also "Grandma Got Run Over..." is a classic. It's a variety of different styles and that's what I like best about it. It's sure to please anyone at a holiday party.

Not all songs are original..........2004-11-23

Apart from what other posters have said, not all the singles here are the originals. Most notably, I found out the hard way that "Please Come For Christmas" by Charles Brown is NOT the original 1961 version, but instead a later version recorded by the same artist, and very over-produced. I was rather disappointed, as this was the main reason I bought the CD.

Other than that, the songs are all the originals as we've heard on the radio and such.....

This is my favorite Christmas album ever!.......2000-10-29

When I was in the third grade, our school chorus sang Jingle Bell Rock for the Christmas program. I wanted to learn that song so badly that my mom went out and bought this for me. I couldn't stand it! I thought that it was the wrong version. But eventually, I grew to love this album. I listened to it all the time through the holiday season, and I lost my tape. My grandma bought me a new one and the following year, I found my old one. To this day, I still listen to and love this album. If you have just one Christmas album in your holiday colection, let it be this one. However, off that note, though I'm sure none of you care, we ended up singing the same sets of songs both years I was allowed to be in chorus, and none of them were Jingle Bell Rock.

Very Good.......1999-11-26

My daughter loves this CD. When I first got it I had to make a tape copy for her so she could listen to it in her room. And know I have to get another CD for my mother. She got a CD player for Christmas last year and has been looking for this CD you are the only ones who have it. This CD is listen to every Christmas since I first found it. I think it should be a part of everyone's CD collection of holiday music.

A Great Introduction to Opera.......2004-11-28

This CD serves as a great beginner's guide to opera. there is plenty to choose from on this CD. Placido Domingo starts off the CD with his trademark "Celeste Aida." Next, Alfredo Kraus and Giuseppe Taddei sing "Au fond du temple saint," in Italian instead of French. Renata Tebaldi follows in "Ebben? ne andro lontana." You can't have a opera CD without Luciano Pavarotti, and you get him in "Io son sol...Ah dispar, vision!" from Manon. A great trio from La fille du regiment, "Il faut partir" follows, starring Beverly Sills, Fernando Corena, and Grayson Hirst. Jose Carreras and Renata Scotto follow in the Brindisi from La Traviata. Montserrat Caballe graces the #7 spot in "Oh nube! che lieve" from Maria Stuarda. Franco Corelli is excellent is "Nessun dorma" from Turandot. Alfredo Kraus returns again in "Dalla sua pace" from Don Giovanni. This is one of my favorite arias on the CD. Carlo Bergonzi follows in "Die campi, dai prati" from Mefistofele. Franco Corelli follows in the role he was made for: Manrico's "Di quella pira" from Il Trovatore. Montserrat Caballe and Siegmund Nimsgern sing in one of the only German arias on the CD: "Und du wurst mein..." from Arabella. Gundula Janowitz sings in "Dich teure Halle," the other German aria on this CD. I can't believe Nicolai Gedda isn't on this CD more than once. He sings "Merci, doux crepuscule" from La damnation de Faust. Mirella Freni comes next in "Si. Mi chiamano Mimi" from La Boheme. My favorite tenor, Giuseppe di Stefano comes in the next two clips: "E lucevan la stelle" from Tosca, and, with Maria Callas, "E il sol dell'anima" from Rigoletto. How can this great recording end? With Pavarotti in "Tu che a Dio" from Lucia di Lammermoor of course.

Excellent Potpourri.......2004-09-12

Do not be misled by the incredibly low price on this album; the recording quality is quite good. I would have liked more information in the liner notes (especially the year of the performance), but that is a minor quibble when compared to hearing some of the best opera stars of the last century for less than a matinee movie ticket.

So, indulge and enjoy!
