Original Hits: 70s is a decent six-disc set, highlighting 111 pop singles released in that decade. Along with the original versions of radio classics by Al Stewart, Blondie, the Knack, KC & the Sunshine Band, and Dr. Hook, are less-than-obvious inclusions by Peter Tosh, XTC, the Move, and Benny Hill!

Scottish pop group, formed in Edinburgh in 1973 by two former members (David Paton & Billy Lyall) of the early Bay City Rollers. Their biggest hits were "Magic", "January", "Call Me Round" and "Just A Smile", all of them in 1974, and 1975. They worked closely with Alan Parsons, who produced much of their material. Three of them (David Paton, Ian Bairnson & Stuart Tosh) contributed also The Alan Parsons Project, and Paton & Bairnson played also on Kate Bush's two first albums 'The Kick Inside' (1978) and 'Lionheart' (1978). As we approach the 40th anniversary of Pilot's debut album, David Paton, Ian Bairnson, and Stuart Tosh have reunited as Pilot. As a first project out of the gate, it is only fitting that David and Ian would turn to The Alan Parsons Project.

This 56 track 4 CD clamshell box set features all of the albums released by Pilot between 1974-77. Disc 1 is the debut From The Album Of The Same Name which features the hit single 'Magic' - a UK #11, it also hit #5 in the USA and #1 in Canada and has been featured in films such as Herbie: Fully Loaded, Happy Gilmore and Magic Roundabout. Three bonus cuts have been added including the ultra-rare 'Ra-Ta-Ta' single recorded under the name Scotch Mist. The second disc is the UK #48 hit album Second Flight. This features the international hit single 'January' - a UK #1, it also topped the charts in Australia, made #21 in Germany and the Top 100 in America. The song has also been regularly used in TV adverts for the Asda superstore! One of the bonus tracks is the UK #31 hit single 'Just A Smile'…
