Sounds of the Seventies (Time-Life Music)

Last updated

Sounds of the Seventies was a 40-volume series issued by Time-Life during the late 1980s and early-to-mid 1990s, spotlighting pop music of the 1970s.

Contents

Much like Time-Life's other series chronicling popular music, volumes in the "Sounds of the Seventies" series covered a specific time period, including individual years in some volumes, and different parts of the decade (for instance, the early 1970s) in others; in addition, some volumes covered specific trends, such as music popular on album-oriented rock stations on the FM band. Each volume was issued on either compact disc, cassette or (with volumes issued prior to 1991) vinyl record. Individual volumes generally contained anywhere between 18 and 22 tracks, and represented the highlighted time period's most popular and noteworthy tracks. Also included was a booklet, containing liner notes written by some of the most respected historians of the genre, photographs of the artists, and information on the songs (writers, performers and peak position on Billboard magazine's Billboard Hot 100 chart).

History

"Sounds of the Seventies" was first issued in the summer of 1989, with the first album covering 1970.

As was the case with Time-Life's other series, "Sounds of the Seventies" was advertised in television and magazine advertisements. The series was available by subscription (by calling a 1-800 number); those who purchased the series in that fashion received a new volume roughly every other month (on the format of their choice), and had the option of keeping the volumes they wanted.

Each volume was also offered for individual sale. When the series was fully issued, a customer could purchase the entire series at once (or a group of albums, as packaged by Time-Life as part of a promotion), often at a discounted price.

New volumes in the original series continued to be issued through 1994, the final one being a volume titled Sounds of the Seventies: Celebration, which included several tracks from the early 1980s; that final volume was soon retitled and disconnected from the series. The series resumed in 1996 with at least 11 more volumes—including several dance- and disco-intensive albums—issued through 1999. In addition, a volume featuring television theme songs from the 1970s was also released.

Time-Life continued to offer the complete "Sounds of the Seventies" through the early-2000s (decade), after which it was replaced by various other series. One of those series is titled "Sounds of the 70s," issued in 2010 as a single 10-CD, 198-song package and which remains available for purchase. The track lineup of the current series is identical to the original 1970-1979 volumes of "Sounds of the Seventies."

In 1999, Time-Life issued a "budget" box set, Sounds of the Seventies: Greatest Hits, containing three CDs or cassettes of 12 songs each, for retail sale.

The series

As with many of Time-Life Records' multi-volume releases, the volumes were not issued in a logical, sequential order by date or era of the subject; that is, issuing volumes covering the 1960s before progressing to the 1970s. For instance, while the series began with three sequential albums from 1970 to 1972, the fourth volume featured hit songs from 1976.
