I should add that the phrase is very common in the UK. I have no idea about the States.

To Mariana Snyder Actually, "стари, но златни" is clearly a literal translation of the very common English phrase "oldies but goldies", not the other way round. Of course, "golden oldies" is perfectly acceptable too.

golden oldies

It's a term that everyone knows and uses, especially for music. The suggested translation is correct if you're trying to translate it literally. But the phrase "golden oldies" is what people actually use.
Example sentence:

This is the golden oldies radio station.
