Not sure who this 1960's/1970's FM radio rock staples set is geared towards, as most fans certainly already have these songs on their original album formats or in various other compilations & greatest hits sets, but Audio Fidelity have made them available in this 17 song set on the hybrid SACD/CD format. As you can imagine, the sound is pretty spectacular, whether you have a SACD player or just a conventional CD, allowing all these legendary classic rock songs to come to life once again. Never thought you needed to hear "Free Bird", "Smoke on the Water", "Light My Fire", "Can't Get Enough", "China Grove", or "Hot Blooded" ever again? Well, not only do all these individual songs sound crisp and clear, but it's also kind of neat having The Kinks, Grateful Dead, Eric Burdon, Foghat, Manfred Mann's Earth Band, and Alice Cooper all saddled up next to each other. I like the fact that some lesser hits were included here, such as "Spill the Wine", "Lola", "Spirit in the Sky", and "Smokin' in the Boys Room" alongside "Blinded By the Light", "Go Your Own Way", and the scorching "Slow Ride". Yes, we've all heard these songs probably more than we care to admit, but it's a cool collection nonetheless.
