"Volume 7 in this series gathers up another 27 tracks of moderate hits, minor hits and misses. Part of what makes this compilation interesting is the inclusion of charted tracks of artists whose songs have been compiled elsewhere except for the songs included here. Here is about the only place to find "Molly" by Bobby Goldsboro or "Be Careful of Stones That You Throw" by Dion. Also thrown in are such rarities as the Kids Next Door's "Inky Dinky Spider" and Lewis and Clarke Expedition's "I Feel Good". Adding to this eclectic mix of 50s and 60s tunes are a couple of hit titles from the 70s and 80s ("Mammy Blue" and "Sausalito Summernight"). While the sound quality is uneven with many, if not all, of these being needle drops, most of the tracks are reasonably clean sounding without obnoxious compression. Tracks 11,13,18,26 and 27 are in true stereo with the remainder in mono. The liner notes booklet provides a listing of the included tracks and no other information. Given the obscurity of many of these tunes, the less than stellar sound quality can be mostly forgiven and what you have here is a reasonably listenable collection of not-to-be-found-elsewhere rock and roll oldies."
