1970's

I've heard some good 70's recordings latley. I orderd Grand funk railroed closer to home, I almost fell over dead. It sounded like they were in the room with me. Digital has the dynamics but anolog fools the ear and wipes away ear fatigue. So, what else am I missing out on, No Zappa please, just can't get into Zappa. How about Blondie?

Yea, I was a teenager too in the 70's. Lucky for me I had a music love'n aunt that had a album collection that just killed. She had it all. I'd lay in bed on weekends while they played music that just rocked. Nobody mentioned Cactus, Foreignor, Eagles,Mahogony rush, War, mam's and the papas !!!! All great music

I have a vinyl copy of Mama Cass' Greatest Hits. Some obscure AU pressing that sounds like s**t. Same as Hall and Oates Greatest. Another POS. Amazingly disappointing.

I use both alternately for cartridge alignment.

There were some great albums produced by Glynn Johns that sonically hold up. The Eagles, The Stones, The Who, the Clash and the Faces all were produced by Glynn during this period under an open room mic setup arrangement. I especially like Hi Records out of Memphis (Al Green) and all of the Philly Soul records. David Bowie's Young American album is a great gem to be rediscovered.

Thanks TIC. Tracked (pun intended) down the Tubes first album as well as the Live one on vinyl and they're on the way. eBay is my friend (I hope).

For me the decade came in with The Who and went out with Talking Heads, with disco in between a very bad dream.
