* Albums bought 50 years ago*

[Nai Noswad]

If anyone has seen my Top 20 threads, there were several years ('73-'80) of '73'-90 that i documented what album/8 Track/Cassette that I bought. Here's one to add to Nai's above around Physical Graffitti.

April 11, 1975- Physical Grafitti-

Quite a story with this album. I bugged the hell out of my record store to get Physical Graffiti, and had "urgent" and "priority" status put my order. When I got the call to pick up, that night I thew a Zep Album party with nine of my closest rocking buddies, and we had a formal unwrapping and First Play Party. As far as I know, I was the first kid in the state to get the album. That's at least what the record store told me. And more Hawaiian Punch and Chips Ahoy than anyone could eat. And finally kudos to parents for letting me have the house for the evening, along with the parental HiFi

Brilliant Catfish,kudos to your folks indeed,goes to show(the acorn don't fall far from the tree)...that's rubbed off on you.
Nice post!

Andy Scott on Synth!....on Radio Luxembourg Ballroom Blitz was played to death as I think it was a re-release in the States?

Sweet - Fox On The Run .

I remember getting this on 45 for 99 cents! I was 8 in 1975.

....this turned out to be a clone YES band- but I liked the cover(has a textured feel) and I bought it second hand['previously loved'] in today speak!
it was virtually brand new...never bought the follow-up LP.
I thought they were Scottish- to say I've lugged this about this here planet....it's remarkably unscathed!

Druid - Voices.

FRom 1975....I first heard it around 15 years ago.... a friend burned some obscure things and it was one of them....good lp for unknown prog rock.

thumbing thru' all these 45's here....I bought 4 Elton John singles this particular year!
(Just found a very broken copy of 'Cut The Cake' by AWB)...I used to buy ex-jukebox singles with no centre...so maybe the strength has lapsed?
I was working the fair for 3 -4 days and would hear songs blaring from the rides.
A few singles I bought...plain bag though.

John Lennon- # 9 Dream.

 

[Nai Noswad]

running that guitar through a keyboard + leslie was a master stroke....at the time i couldn't give a sugar about such things....

Hot Chocolate- Emma.

(one for E-Z)....thinking back Russ Ballard songs were in my life soundtrack from Argent...and beyond...this was everywhere in this year.

Hello - New York Groove.

 

[Nai Noswad]

staying in on a Tuesday night to watch Old Grey Whistle Test was dê rigueur at the time..and buying an album on a Wednesday due to seeing a band on channel 2 [ we only had 3 TV stations!] the night before, wasn't unknown ~ and we were all fascinated with the micing up of a stemmed wine glass to obtain "that" sound....Autosuggestion and gullable youth eh?
Cracking album/ single though !

Supertramp- Dreamer.
