(Amazing how tastes ebbed and flowed. I certainly had my phases of hard rock, art rock, Top 40 and such. Much depended on what my mates were listening to or what Lee Simon recommended on EON/Night Moves!) And some of these albums I only discovered long after the 70’s. I can certainly remember the hoo-ha which surrounded some albums (Skyhooks fx) and others which only grew in stature long after the death of the artist (Gram and Nick fx). Great fun, thanks!

Baker, I was doing a search through a music mag database yesterday and stumbled across an interview with the guys who engineered Heaven Tonight. This was attached and I thought it was pretty cool to check out…
My grandson’s favourite song! Budokan version on YT gets hammered. He’s 2 and a half!!!
