    K-Tel records

    Seems they had a theme for every kind of compilation.
    My favorites were Goofy Greats and Dumb Dittys.
    My brother would play these at special occasions.
    How about you?

    Got a favorite compilation from K-Tel?

    Goofy Greats was the best

    I had that on 8-track

    In this PC world you'll never see another song like Ahab the Arab

      Did you know; The company has been in business since the late 1960s and is based in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
      that's right it's based in my hometown....Perhaps there are some old K-tel items kicking around here...LOL

      I used to drink in a bar they owned as well.
      I now return you to your regular thread...

                      I had Looney Tunes (not to be confused w/ the cartoons). I played that thing to death! A few years back I bought Starburst (2 record set).
                      "Do you believe, you believe in magic?
                      'Cos I believe, I believe that I do,
                      Yes, I can see I believe that it's magic
                      If your mission is magic your love will shine true."

                              Love these old hits...

                              My personal favourite was...

                              The Martian Hop

                              It was 1963 and I was 5 years old...
                              90, Joe 90.... Great Shakes : Milk Chocolate -- Shaken, not Stirred.
