LP1: Kicking off in magnificent style with signature songs from legendary artists: A #2 in 1976, Queens Somebody To Love is first up, followed by Electric Light Orchestra with Livin Thing, Fleetwood Mac with Say You Love Me, and 10cc with Im Mandy Fly Me. Dr. Hook had a huge hit with A Little Bit More, and Chicago hit #1 with their all-time classic ballad If You Leave Me Now, while the side closes with Eric Carmens enduringly popular All By Myself. Flip the LP over for huge hits from the year including 4 #1s: 14 years after making their UK chart debut, Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons enjoyed their first chart-topper with December 1963 (Oh What a Night), whilst Leo Sayer reached #2 in the UK, and #1 in the US with You Make Me Feel Like Dancing. Pop gems follow from David Dundas, Bryan Ferry, Sailor, Smokie and Slik, featuring a pre-Ultravox Midge Ure reached the top with Forever And Ever. Showaddywaddy celebrated their biggest hit and their first #1 with Under The Moon Of Love, and the UK won at Eurovision, with the winner Save Your Kisses For Me by Brotherhood Of Man not only hitting the #1 spot but also becoming 1976s biggest seller and bringing the first LP to a close.

LP2: Opening with a stellar run of pure-pop classics. Elton John celebrated his first UK #1 single, in a duet with Kiki Dee on Dont Go Breaking My Heart, and Cliff Richard with Devil Woman, ahead of dance-floor favourites and both #1s in 76: Tina Charles with I Love To Love and The Real Thing with You To Me Are Everything. More pop nuggets follow from Billy Ocean and Dana, before the side finishes with R&J Stone with We Do It and the sublime Midnight Train To Georgia from Gladys Knight & The Pips. Over on the second side, Silly Love Songs gave Wings a UK #2 and became 76s biggest seller in the US and opens a run of great vocalists; Neil Diamond, Daryl Hall & John Oates with Shes Gone, Paul Simons 50 Ways To Leave Your Lover and a trio of the years classic rock smashes: The Boys Are Back In Town from Thin Lizzy, Squeeze Box from The Who, and closing with the epic Music from John Miles.

LP3: Celebrating 76s dancefloor with a stunning collection of disco and soul gold: First up, Donna Summer with her debut smash Love To Love You Baby before More More More from Andrea True Connection and Candi Statons timeless Young Hearts Run Free. Melba Moore with This Is It comes ahead of Diana Ross with the genre-defining Love Hangover, and the side is completed with huge floor-fillers from Tavares and Barry White ahead of The Isley Brothers with the soul standard Harvest For The World and over on the final side country music is represented with Dolly Parton making her UK singles chart debut with Jolene three years after it was a hit in the US, but it was a Dutch band, Pussycat, who hit the top with their country-pop track Mississippi. Bonnie Tyler made her chart debut with Lost In France, and Forever And Ever gave Demis Roussos a 76 chart topper, and an easy-listening classic, whilst Guys N Dolls had a second Top 5 hit with their cover of You Dont Have To Say You Love Me. The LP ends with a trio of the years most beautiful ballads: Gallagher And Lyle with Heart On My Sleeve, Love And Affection the stunning singles chart debut for Joan Armatrading, and finishing with a second peerless single on this collection from Elton John with Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word.
