Whilst in Blackpool earlier this year I was in one of these music shops you know the ones which sell all the older music as opposed to HMV etc who sell up to date stuff.

I came across this one No 1 hits of 70s it is a very retro style cover as it is brown circles with the figure one in white and other writing in black.

The 70s were a great decade for funky disco music, glam rock etc.

I know there are a lot of this sort of CDs on the market and to be honest many of them hold the same tracks but for £3.99 it was a bargain buy for me.

16. Aithia & Donna - Up Town Ranking
17. Wizzard - Angel Fingers
18. Dave Edmunds - I Hear You Knocking
19. Blondie - Sunday Girl
20. Suzi Quatro - Can The Can

So you can see there are some good tracks in that lot, yes there a few that I don't like but that is nearly always the case with a compilation CD.

Although the 80s are more my era I still remember some of these tracks from the above CD and the ones I didn't remember I have soon got to know and like.

My favourite track from the whole CD is Blondie and Sunday Girl as it brings back fond memories from nights at our local youth club.
