Hi Reddit, this is my first post ever so I hope I'm doing this right! Please be patient with me, I'm well aware this is a long shot. My memory is foggy and my musical knowledge lacking so if this sounds ridiculous, I know and I'm sorry.
I'm looking for a specific CD/album from my childhood. My sister and I used to listen to it a lot, but my family gave away all our CDs several years ago (yea i'm sad about it) and now I forgot most about it. Except it still keeps bothering me that I don't know the title or what other songs were on it and it would be super cool to find it again.
Here's the things I remember:
- Listened to the CD in around 2011-2018, but I'm pretty sure it was quite older than that.
- It wasn't an album specific to one artist. More of a song collection, but I can't remember a theme, except the music maybe being entirely from the 60s-70s?
- The cover had a windmill on it and the color scheme was generally very orange. I know there was one big windmill in the front; not sure if there was another smaller one in the back but if it was, it was faded out a little.
- It definitely included Slade's "Far Far Away". I'm 99% certain it was the original version and not a cover.
- The other songs were mostly American, but I'm German and as a child I couldn't really distinguish accents that well, especially in music, so take that with a grain of salt.
- I think it also had Scott Mackenzie's "San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair)" and Kenny Roger's "Ruby Don't Take Your Love to Town" in it as well, but unfortunately I can't be 100% certain. It could be that I'm mixing it up with another memory, since I listened to those songs a lot at the same time, too.
That's it! I'm not expecting results but I thought it was worth a try and I've seen enough of Reddit to know that the chance of someone actually knowing what I'm talking about isn't 0. I'm still sorry for the lack of detail, don't kill me.
I'd be super grateful for your help, but either way thank you for reading and have a good day :)
