CD Review: Pure 70's 36 Mellow Hits of the Seventies

Pure 70's 36 Mellow Hits of the Seventies

Front Cover

This is a very nice collection of mellow hits back in the 70's. This can be considered as a hard to find CD as you can't get it in any record bar in the Philippines. This CD by the way was produced in the Philippines EMI Philippines Inc. 

I got excited when I saw this item was for sale in Amazon.com. I was able to miss a decent price of this CD in Ebay. I have to pay a bit higher just to get a copy of this CD. 

This a 2-CD collection. Pictured below is the Disc 2 with nice artwork:
