Listeners have embraced this series with open arms, cherishing the warm wave of nostalgia it brings and the impeccable sound quality that makes each tune shine. It’s a treasure trove for '70s aficionados and a delightful discovery for those new to the era’s legendary sounds. With each CD, you’ll find insightful liner notes that enrich your listening journey with fascinating stories about the songs and their creators.

What started as a modest project blossomed into a 25-volume anthology . Initially, the label intended to only compile ten or 15 collections, taking the set into the mid-'70s, but Have a Nice Day proved so successful that it ran a full 25 volumes and extended right until 1979, charting the full course of the '70s right up to its final year. Rhino Records didn’t just compile hits; they curated an experience. From the iconic 45 RPM singles to the rare gems that had faded into obscurity, each track is presented in the best possible version, often sourced directly from the original master tapes. Whether you’re in the mood for chart-toppers or hidden treasures, “Have A Nice Day” is your perfect companion, offering a comprehensive and joyous celebration of an era that forever changed the music landscape. It's impossible to imagine a better, more thorough chronicle of this era than Have a Nice Day. (B)
