In an effort to get all my old vinyl albums replaced by their digital equivalent, I have sorted through the immense pile, and managed to find and download every one on the list below, apart from about 15 tracks.
This represents about half of my albums from that period, the other half having already been replaced by CD's bought over recent times.

Q. Do you have any "must have" albums from this time, that were big hits in the USA, but maybe never made it across the pond?

What have I missed?

This list covers the period from about '68/69, up until the end of '73.

Only about ten more years to go!

Sorry about the hand written thingy, I just couldn't be bothered to type it all out neatly.......

List 1 ..............

I find your second list especially valuable since I've got all those albums mentioned on List 1 myself ... as cd's.

I'd like your original second list more!!! Laughing

(We've got some baby oil, though - if this is any help?)

That's a fairly good list, Lord Ellpus, and I was quite pleased to see Blind Faith included, but I would, with a fair amount of haste, destroy anything ever made by Blood Sweat and Tears. I would smash it, shred it, melt it, and then wash the stench from my hands.

Yes....I know, Gus.

But it meant something at the time....I think.

The problem is...that the period in question (as far as the UK was concerned, anyway) was totally dominated by the Beatles, Stones and F***ing Monkees.
We probably missed out on a lot of good stuff from the USA, so I wondered ..........what were you buying at the time?

'Navy cut' was my favourite in 69/70, btw .... hair style at the barber's, I mean.

Alex Chilton and Big Star, some say, were a huge in fluence on American music. The #1 Record was released in 1972, and Radio City in 74. In 1992 they released a double album (the two albums listed above) CD.

Black Sabbath's Paranoid was released in 1970, but you're prolly not interested in Black Sabbath....

If you look lk, paranoid's on my list. They're good, especially when on a long drive.

Thanks for the others though, I'll investigate.

Were you even born then?

Oopsie, you DID have B.S. on the list......

How about creedence clearwater? They started releasing albums in 1968, I'm not sure which album would be the best one to find.

Jefferson Airplane (didja list them...?)

I was born in 1968.

BLIMEY! You're wearing well.

Jefferson Airplane! Why didn't I think of that?

I already have some CCR....a compilation of their best hits, apparently.

You could check out a list of bands who played at Woodstock - Joe Cocker might be good to have.

Jim Croce and Joni Mitchel if you're into that kind of thing Confused

Frank Zappa
Carol King

0 Replies

The Doors?
The Band?
Allman Bros.?

Well, Dys would be able to fill in some spots, I bet...

0 Replies

Oh, definitely Joe Cocker..

Getting a little later than 73 - and into the disco era - Donna Summers has some seriously great disco. But, I think the first american release was in 1974 or 75.
