Opening the collection with feel-good hits 'Lovely Day' from Bill Withers and 'I Can See Clearly Now' from Johnny Nash, CD1 sets the ultimate summery mood with timeless favourites from Bonnie Tyler, Blondie, Roxy Music, 10cc and Althea & Donna with 'Uptown Top Ranking'. Nostalgic gems including 'Seaside Shuffle' from Terry Dactyl & The Dinosaurs and 'Seasons in the Sun' from Terry Jacks lead into huge hits from Billy Ocean, John Denver, Dolly Parton, and Tammy Wynette. The disc rounds off with a run of sun-drenched upbeat tunes from Glen Campbell, Pussycat, The New Edition and Sylvia Vrethammar with the ultimate early '70s holiday smash 'Y viva Espana'. CD2 kicks off with the iconic movie medley, 'The Grease Megamix' from John Travolta & Olivia Newton-John, followed by an array of bright dancefloor fillers from Chic, Sister Sledge, Hot Chocolate and The Drifters with 'Kissin' in the Back Row of the Movies'. Baccara's Eurovision Song Contest entry 'Parlez-vous francais?' flows into a mix of warm disco grooves from George McCrae and The Hues Corporation, as well as soulful sounds from The O'Jays, The Temptations and Minnie Riperton, before closing the disc with the legendary vocals of Marvin Gaye with 'Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology)'. CD3 begins with relaxed, sun-kissed tunes from the Commodores, Diana Ross, The Isley Brothers and The New Seekers with the massive feel good #1 'I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing (In Perfect Harmony)'. Next up, playful chart smashes from Dawn feat. Tony Orlando, Middle Of The Road and The Wombles with 'The Wombling Song'. Pure '70s pop, glam and rock drive the rest of the disc including from Sweet, Sailor, Mud, Meat Loaf and Peter Shelley. Completing this sunshine inspired compilation are a trio of the decades' greatest ballads; 'Never Let Her Slip Away', 'The Air That I Breathe' and Lou Reed's 'Perfect Day' signing off your 70's summer-time perfect playlist.
