Here David explains his thoughts when putting this 73track compilation together, which he has annotated in the booklet, track by track The 70s wasnt simply the most actionpacked decade in the history of recorded music. It was also the final decade before we succumbed to the curse of genres. Because the four CDs inside have beenprogrammed thematically for your listening pleasure, we have given them names which they didnt have at the time. Remake Remodel features cult heroes making twisted sense of tunes from more innocent times. Skinny Tie Music showcases the slinky pop purveyed by the acts who rolled back the cuffs of their jackets. Americana spotlights the sons and daughters of the republic singing of their homeland. Basing Street Blues is named for the home of Island Records, most charismatic of the UKs independent record labels. Theres plenty of things about the 70s we wouldnt have back inflation, smokefilled rooms, fizzy keg for a start but the music has never been bettered. As youll hear.
