VA - Greatest Hits Of The Millennium 70s Vol. 1-3 [1999] (9 x CDs)

Released in 1999 by Sony Music Media, the CD series VA - Greatest Hits Of The Millennium 70s is a remarkable musical journey that encapsulates the spirit of the 1970s spanning three volumes with each volume containing three CDs, making a total of nine CDs and 182 tracks, in the entire series. This compilation series presents an eclectic mixture of rock, funk, soul, pop, and blues genres that defined a transformative era in music history.

Volume 1 covers the period 1970-1972 and opens the series with an evocative collection featuring timeless tracks from artists such as Melanie, Smokey Robinson & The Miracles, and Pacific Gas & Electric. From the reflective melodies of “Lay Down” to the exuberant energy of rock classics like “American Woman” and heavy-hitting tracks like Black Sabbath’s “Paranoid,” this volume offers a rich tapestry of songs that mirror the diverse moods of the early 70s.

Volume 2 covers the period 1973-1976 and continues the exploration with an abundance of international and crossover hits. With selections like The Three Degrees’ “Dirty Ol’ Man” and Demis Roussos’ stirring “My Friend The Wind,” this volume blends disco grooves, heartfelt ballads, and light rock anthems. It reflects the era’s experimental spirit, as artists pushed creative boundaries and redefined musical expression on a global scale.

Volume 3 covers the period 1977-1979 and provides a dynamic conclusion to the series, capturing the electric energy of late 1970s music. Featuring high-impact tracks such as Meat Loaf’s epic “Paradise By The Dashboard Light,” Donna Summer’s pulse-driven disco beat, and Jean Michel Jarre’s innovative electronic sounds, this volume celebrates the decade’s relentless drive toward musical reinvention.

Collectively, the Greatest Hits Of The Millennium 70s series stand as a well-curated time capsule. It transports listeners back to a period marked by experimentation and bold creativity, offering an immersive glimpse into a legendary musical era. This compilation not only rekindles cherished memories for devoted fans but also sparks fresh curiosity among new listeners eager to explore the iconic sound of the 1970s. (B)
