Does anybody remembered the record label K-Tel records? Here is that website:

OMG Yes! :wave:

When I was a kid, all during the summer they would advertise their albums. They were like what MUSIC NOW! is like today.

Thanks for the info. :wave: :lol:

On another message board, I talk with the woman who runs that site quite often. She's really nice.

K-Tel was the record label for compilations. All the albums on this site rocks.:woohoo: This is one heck of a site. This is what they call it, pre-Rhino Records.:lol: Before my time, K-Tel used to put out albums on TV. But now, all the K-Tel albums could be found at any second hand stores, garage sales, flea markets and thrift stores. Here is an old commercial for "Hit Machine" in 1976.

$5.99 LP/$7.99 tape, makes a great christmas gift.

Can you imagine 20 hits on this album and one of them is Rick Dee's Disco Duck.

:lol: :lol: :lol: :wave:

I remember the label, yes. :)

But now, all the K-Tel albums are not in music stores anymore, sometimes they do.:) The albums from K-Tel are definitely hard to find in flea markets. I was at the Dutchess County Fair Flea Market last month and I saw a batch of K-Tel albums. The used albums are about either $.50 or $1.00 a piece.:)

K-Tel albums ruled! My favorite was a comp called "The Rock Album" released in 1980. It included great songs by Kansas, Blue Oyster Cult, Robin Trower, Jethro Tull ect.

I had some 70s disco and pop comps too:lol: It was amazing how they could squeeze 20 songs onto an LP:lol:

A lot of these albums contains a few songs that it was edited, because it doesn't make room for these albums.:eek: K-Tel has done poorly edited. The songs that I have is "Super Bad" featuring the songs that it was edit includes the following:

1. "Walking in the Rain with the One I Love" (edit with different ending with the opening line without the Barry White phone call.)
2. "Shaft" (opening intro was cut.)

I know a few songs that it was edited out on these K-Tel albums. That's a shame.:( It wasn't around before CD's came out.

A couple of Elton John singles made it on to K-Tel albums. :)
