While I was trawling through some recent vinyl purchases recently, I had cause to remember a K-Tel compilation that I listened to back in the early 70s.
It was this one:
Tracklist .
A1 O'Jays* – Backstabbers
A2 Johnny Nash – There Are More Questions Than Answers
A3 Roxy Music – Virginia Plain
A4 Atomic Rooster – Devil's Answer
A5 Judge Dread – Big Six
A6 Dave And Ansil Collins* – Double Barrel
A7 John Kongos – Tokoloshe Man
A8 Daniel Boone – Rock And Roll Bum
A9 Free – All Right Now
A10 Faces (3) – Stay With Me
B1 Tyrannosaurus Rex – Debora
B2 Mac Davis – Baby Don't Get Hooked On Me
B3 Lesley Duncan – Sing Children Sing
B4 Colin Blunstone – I Don't Believe In Miracles
B5 Pioneers* – I Believe In Love
B6 Johnny Pearson – Sleepy Shores
B7 Greyhound (4) – Black And White
B8 Lindisfarne – Meet Me On The Corner
B9 Dandy Livingstone – Big City
B10 Cat Stevens – Moonshadow
It was a diverse mix of artists and quite a good starting point for further explorations musically. I recently purchased two more vinyl K-Tel compilations because I thought the tracklistings were too good to pass over:
Super Bad:
and Souled Out:
Does anyone else have a favourite budget label compilation ?
Or a favourite budget label album ?
