Here comes another collection from the seventies-this time from Universal's "Gold" series. It does a good job combining rock, R & B, funk and disco. Even though it's well put together, it's somewhat expendable. What keeps this collection from being essential is that with a few exceptions, practically all of the tracks are in their edited versions.
