20 Groovy Hits Vol. 3 is one of the South African budget compilation albums that were heavily promoted through the S.A. Mirror newspaper during the 1970s. Released on the Gallo label, the album brings together a selection of contemporary pop, folk-pop and easy-listening hits that were popular on radio and at social gatherings of the period.

The collection includes well-known songs such as Long Train Runnin’, Shambala, Baby Blue, Never Never Never and Tie A Yellow Ribbon Round The Ole Oak Tree. These compilations remain nostalgic items for South African collectors who remember the mail-order and newspaper-advertised records of the era.
