1970's Skool Days (18 Teenage Memories) - Various Artists

Advantages: most tastes covered
Disadvantages: none

...A pleasant surprise of quality old skool style cut and paste tracks and some newer tracks on one cd. Brought back a few memories from the good times in the 80's. Some classic breaks here in the mash-up tracks, but far too many to list or even count!! Most of the tracks have been released as vinyl 12's but have been a nightmare to locate and purchase though, or have been out of stock when ordered. I particulaly liked the bonus track "Clear My Throat" in a reggae hip hop style, very brave indeed An all round good cd and a "must have" for all b/boys and girls and lovers of true old skool Hip Hop. I am eagerly awaiting the next release from this obscure label.... Read review

Advantages: Varied mix of old skool tracks
Disadvantages: Tracks put together randomly not matching music styles

...I have had this CD since it was released, and it still plays a prominent part of my music collection. The tracks are not put together as would have been expected from the clubs of the time but more of a catalog of songs from the \'Old Skool Era\' likely to bring back nostalgic feelings of \'euphoria\'. This could be seen as a bad point as alot of the tracks you may not be in the mood for listening to which can mean alot of track skipping. Although not my favourite Old Skool CD I definately recommend it as it contains some great tracks ranging from the drum and bass style \'Sesame Street\' to The much more downbeat \'the source feat. Candy Staton - You got the Love\'. This CD provides a great all rounder for someone who may not be heavily into the music style but still enjoys reminiscing.... Read review

Advantages: A great album, thathas bought back many pleasant memories
Disadvantages: A pity there a not 100 songs available

...My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the songs contained in this album. Although I was bought up in Australia & my wife in Wales, both of us recalled every song. The amazing thing was after 40 years we knew every song word for word. The album consists of 2 CD's with 60 songs, from artist in UK, Australia and USA. We have a number of LP records that include the songs contained in the album, but we can't play them. The fact that they are all on a CD brings life in 2005 to 60's hits. Hits that would be lost forever if it wasn't for modern technology. We highly recommend this album to those who can remember the 60's and want to relive those great days.... Read review
