The Ultimate Collection USM Presents 70s The Ultimate Collection 5CD contains the defining tracks of the decade and features some of the biggest hits from artists including Abba, The Jackson 5, Rod Stewart, Carl Douglas and many more.

This carefully crafted collection features 5 CDs and lasts well over 5 hours ensuring that there’s something here for everyone. So loosen your school tie and reminisce to the soundtrack that shaped your generation…this is 70s School Days The Ultimate Collection. This excellent collection of 100 classic tracks is exactly how remember my radio growing up in the 70s. There are one or two that rather never hear again, but on the whole, this is one fantastic trip down memory lane, when singers could sing and musicians were talented people and not computers.

The Ultimate Collection School Days is a fabulous 100 track collection of those great songs and tunes that will remind you of going to the end of year school disco.
Containing the very best of pop, disco, punk, ska, new romantic, glam as well as the “slow dance” section just before the disco ends that we all remember so well… From the ultimate school days singalong of Madness’ “Baggy Trousers” through to the sitting down on the dancefloor rowing disco anthem of the Gap Band’s “Oops Upside Your Head as well as the girls on one side and boys on the other whilst dancing to the songs from “Grease”.

Jackie: Summer Special includes three discs filled to the brim with early to mid-'70s pop songs, many of them long forgotten and ranging in style from soul-pop (e.g., Diana Ross) to pop/rock (e.g., T. Rex). Perhaps best remembered for its innocence, Jackie was a magazine for teenage girls that was popular during the same era, and all albums in the series of albums so far have been packaged to resemble the magazine. Anyone who grew up reading Jackie is sure to enjoy this blast from the past. While there are plenty of obscurities on Jackie: Summer Special, there are also plenty of certifiable pop classics spread across each of the three discs. Some of the better known songs from disc one include the Jackson 5's "ABC," the Bay City Rollers' "Summerlove Sensation," and ABBA's "Summer Night City." Highlights of the second disc include Elton John and Kiki Dee's "Don't Go Breaking My Heart," Boz Scaggs' "Lido Shuffle," and David Bowie's "Drive In Saturday." Highlights of the third disc include Michael Jackson's "Rockin' Robin," KC and the Sunshine Band's "That's the Way (I Like It)," and the Isley Brothers' "Summer Breeze."

Bubblegum Hits Of The '70s is a 75-song compilation released in 2016 but does it really consist of bubblegum hits? Technically, no but it has a lot of hits.
