Various Artists - A Year In Your Life: 1972 Vol. 1 (2001)

I saved a number of discs from the trash heap this past weekend and I'll spin a few I rescued from this series this week. It's a budget-priced nostalgia sampler, complete with 1972 trivia questions in the liner notes and a general recap of the year:

According to a now-defunct website, the A Year In Your Life series

provides a nostalgic trip down memory lane for Baby Boomers, Hippies and Generation X alike. An extensive 75 volume (and growing!) collection of music spanning the very best Rock, Pop and R&B hits from the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s, the series is a year by year and decade by decade anthology of the music that was the soundtrack to your life.

Currently, Discogs only lists 21 CDs so I'm unsure how many volumes were ever released; I have three.

Peak on the US Billboard Top 200 chart: Did not chart

Tracks: 10 tracks, 36 minutes. A very mixed bag.
