Released November 1973…please amend your votes for that year (and maybe 1973 as well) and let me know when you’ve done so.

Cheers


Strange though, Discogs definitely has 1973.

Edit: changed it now.

(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!
