You have a massive collection?

my collection is decent, around 1500 albums…and I have no clue how many burned CD’s I have.

I got to like Queen because I read in the music press that around this time Freddie was picked up by the cops in LA for
'walking around a wealthy area in scruffy clothes'... Plus the "No Synthesisers" tag on all their early albums did appeal.
The first of two albums this year(a good few had two releases!)
Queen had it written into their contract back then that albums be recorded at Trident... Originally it ( I think) had a black and a white side but Roy Thomas Baker changed that concept... no biggy-great album.
Queen ll.

The March Of The Black Queen.

Far too many to list but I am a prog fan as most know so....
'Red'- King Crimson
"Relayer' -Yes
'Mirage'-Camel
'Hero and Heroine'- Strawbs
'Hatfield and the North'- same
rock.....
'Court and Spark'- Joni Mitchell
'Country Life' -Roxy Music
'Late for the Sky'- Jackson Browne
'Secret Treaties'- BOC
'Bridge of Sighs'- Trower

I would probably pick 'Red' by KC and 'Starless' from that lp......what can I say...I love prog rock.

A great LP i missed until later (Straight Shooter) was really where I came in... I think money had a lot to do with it... I saved cash for Deep Purple or Uriah Heep same day releases... And only 3 TV channels (so you clung to Old Grey Whistle Test every Tuesday!)

Uriah Heep - Wonderworld
