One of the frustrating things about multi-artist compilations is that, almost invariably, no matter how well put together they are, they do not feature many major hits by major artists. This is because major artists tend to have enough clout in contract negotiations to gain the rights to "coupling," i.e., the use of their tracks in record releases, and they tend to view the appearance of individual recordings on compilations as cheapening their catalogs.

One of the frustrating things about multi-artist compilations is that, almost invariably, no matter how well put together they are, they do not feature many major hits by major artists. This is because major artists tend to have enough clout in contract negotiations to gain the rights to "coupling," i.e., the use of their tracks in record releases, and they tend to view the appearance of individual recordings on compilations as cheapening their catalogs. Thus, compilations are usually littered with the works of one-hit wonders and other minor artists. Flashback! Rock Classics of the '70s is an exception to that rule; it is filled with the kind of artists whose names you rarely see on compilations, such as Bruce Springsteen, Pink Floyd, and Eric Clapton. The reason is simple. This is a charity album. Released through Realm Records, the reissue label of the Columbia House mail-order record club, it benefits the T.J. Martell Foundation, a favorite record industry charity that contributes money to cancer and AIDS research. Still, it must have been a job getting tracks from five of the six major labels (BMG is the exception) and from the high-powered managers who handle these acts. But the result is a collection of some classic rock staples, including such hits as "Smoke on the Water," "Hot Blooded," "Money," and "I Shot the Sheriff." Of course, one 12-track album cannot be definitive, but Flashback! Rock Classics of the '70s is like listening to an hour of classic rock radio without the commercials and disc jockey patter, every song an album-rock standard. ~ William Ruhlmann, Rovi
