The Mojo Collection: The Ultimate Music Companion

[Zeeba Neighba]

Various Artists - Electric Music: The Story of Folk into Rock

The last of the 1970s comps - and in fact the end of 1970s entries (1980s here we come - probably jump in after Thanksgiving)

Probably should have spun this earlier as it really extends to the first half of 1970s but...oh well.
A good sweeping (at the time) 4-album set released in 1975 chronicling the progression of folk through the 70s. Perhaps tries too hard to encompass a wide range of styles/artists, but no complaints about the music.

Elvis Costello - Get Happy!! (1980)

Have always loved this album - remember proudly recommending this years ago for our old Listening Club only to have most people not enjoy Costello's quick format with 20 short songs on an album. Ah well, some people can't recognize greatness Still great!
