Have a Nice Decade: The '70s Pop Culture Box

Have a Nice Decade: The '70s Pop Culture Box
Have a Nice Decade: The 70s Pop Culture Box is a seven-disc box set with a 90-page booklet of cultural comment, a timeline for the decade, and liner notes. While covering much of the same ground as Rhino's Have a Nice Day series, it includes more R&B, funk, soul and disco from the period. It also has several tracks from best-selling artists of the era, making this set less of an obscure semi-hits collection than the Have a Nice Day series. Some of the tracks include sound clips of the decade, which follow a short silence at the end of the song (but which are still part of the track). The clip is a reference to the title of the next song in the running order. The clips are described below inline with the track it follows, with links to appropriate articles for the events described. The first copies of Have a Nice Decade released are covered with a shag rug carpeting incorporating the colors, textures and icons that have since become icons of the decade.
