Get Ready for Spotlight! Next on Adventures in Vinyl
This month on Adventures in Vinyl we are taking a trip back to the year 1979 with the K-Tel compilation Spotlight . Actually, it is more accurate to say 1978, as all of the songs on this album were released in 1978 (except for the two that were released a year earlier). This album is slightly different from other K-Tel albums released at the time and marks a change in the way K-Tel created their albums. Of course, K-Tel is known for crunching as many songs as possible on an album---usually 20 songs per compilation ("20 Original Hits, Original Stars!"). This album has only 16, which means there is not as much crunching of music. In fact, in the 80s, K-Tel will release several more albums following this format. Spotlight is a solid album that, unlike other K-Tel albums released that year, was not advertised on TV. The album contains songs from Andy Gibb, Crystal Gayle, A Taste of Honey, the Commodores, Kenny Rogers....and many more! Join us on Adventures in Viny...
