Fantastically fun and mixed compilations of songs from 1977. Still sealed and shrink wrapped, this set of 3 tapes will be fun for any music fan, or a great present for someone born in 1977!

Here are some notes from the person who created the compilation for Readers Digest back in the day:

Following the success of the “Sounds Of The Sixties” series, I was given free rein to produce this series, so once again i decided to follow the same format, so it not only included the hits from the period, but featured many musical releases that had not been issued since their original release. Memories of TV programmes, film soundtracks, and personalities of the decade were also a prime feature of this series, with album covers depicted events from the era, rather than actual artists on the pack and again, the booklet was written in diary style to enhance this evocative feeling. I included many of the tracks that I had bought myself as a teenager during the period, which to this day have not been released on CD. On many occasions my own record collection was used as a basis to obtain masters that even the record companies had lost. Being 'let loose' to include Metal, Punk and obscure Eurovision tracks was just one of the reasons these became my favourite releases during my time at RD.

In 2005 the first three volumes were reissued with some tracks missing due to licensing constraints.*
