K-tel Chick Posted October 29, 2004 Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 Hey all-- just wondering if anyone collects compilations (various artist) albums or CDs? Is there still an interest in these items? I know the WOW series has picked up where the likes of K-tel and Ronco dropped off (and apparently doing quite well). Do you have any favorite various artist compilations of your youth...or now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenacious_Peaches Posted October 29, 2004 Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 Hi K-tel! I don't collect any of the compilations, but I remember really loving the whole K-tel thing when I was younger. I believe I had quite a few disco ones in the 70s. I do think the WOW things are a rip off, but I guess they serve their purpose. When I first started making mixed CDs, I always called them my K-tel collection! :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golden_ann Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 hi, K-tel! I'm the queen of compilation cds. It's a good and economical way to collect favorite songs without having to buy an entire cd of songs that otherwise you might not want.I love the various "love songs" series. But what I own range from oldies to 80's to soul and rock favorites. LOL. I live by it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_jr_ Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 I have a fairly good sized stack of 70's compilation cd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 Hello, K-tel! I have many compilations, and I think they´re a good idea... in my case it´s mostly promotional albums (CBS greatest hits and stuff like this, from the 60s, 70s, 80s and some 90s...) In fact, CBS is a bad example as it doesn´t exist anymore... but I like compilations... now I burn my own compilation-cds with my favorite music, just as I used to do with the tapes for the walkman!

XXX Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 The better companies that do comps are Rhino and Verve Three compilation series that I like are Ultra Lounge, Just Can't Get Enough, those Jazz mood CDs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesboy Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 Edna, Taping was a whole nother world compared to today's throw the blank in 'n burn it. I used to have a top of the line dual cassette deck, buy the best blank tape, level off the needles from red to just in the green, trying to get the cleanest sound I could. It was fun.

edna Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 Hi, BluesBoy! You´re right, tapes are so paleolithical stuff now... I still have thousands of them... It´s amazing how cds can enhance the music... I still didn´t install my turntable, these days I only have radio and cd! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted December 12, 2004 Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 I can't remember if I ever did - but I had one of these li'l babies -- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 Are those 45s? I remember those - you needed a special adapter for the hole. Compilations are alive and well. The "That's What I Call Music!" series (How do you get an explanation point in your name? If we called ourselves Songfacts! would that make it so? Could I go to the town hall and change my name to Carl!? When you say it, do you have to be excited?) is wildly successful. It's a great option for people who like the hit songs without hearing the rest of the albums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
