Super Hits of the '70s: Have a Nice Day, Volume 1 has some great 70's music on it. The sound is excellent and the choice of songs is also very good. The music sure does bring back memories!

There are several highlights of this album in my opinion. Of course, everyone will have their personal favorites. Spiral Starecase really brings back memories with their peppy, upbeat rockin' love ballad, "More Today Than Yesterday." The guitars and percussion carry the bulk of the melody. The Flying Machine sings one of the most beautiful love ballads I've ever heard with their awesome "Smile A Little Smile For Me." The sing and harmonize to perfection; and as with "More Today Than Yesterday" the guitars and the percussion work very well for "Smile A Little Smile For Me." Moreover, listen for Steam's timeless rocking ballad, "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye." "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye" may be somewhat longer than the average rock song but every minute of it sounds so good. The backup harmonizing helps and the excellent percussion and hand clapping make this one of the most memorable numbers I've ever heard.

The Shocking Blue turn in a good performance of "Venus;" I love those electric guitars! This tune rocks with just a twist of country flavoring to it for a great effect. The Sandpipers's "Come Saturday Morning" features a softer type of rock ballad that almost feels like folk rock. I especially like this number from The Sandpipers.

The CD ends with Mountain doing a hard rockin' "Mississippi Queen." It ends the album with a ballad that doesn't completely fit in but I know that others will like this one more than I do.

The liner notes are good and I like the artwork.

In short, Super Hits Of The `70s: Have A Nice Day, Volume 1 has quite a few excellent numbers on it to make this a worthwhile purchase. If you're craving 70's music this is a CD to strongly consider.
