David Bowie, Low (1977) I can’t remember when I first heard this – but it was somewhat late in the piece. I’d heard loads of other David Bowie albums and compilations before I got to this. By the time I got to this in fact I’d heard all about it, read about it, knew about [...]Archive

Fleetwood Mac, Rumours (1977) Maybe I should treat myself to a new version of this but the old second-hand copy I have – picked up for a buck or two some years back (with a chewed corner on the sleeve) – seems to play okay when I want to play it. Also, this music is [...]Archive

Graham Bonnet, Graham Bonnet (1977) I can’t say I’m any great Graham Bonnet fan – but this album came my way recently – received as part of a stack of unwanted records. And it was great to revisit some of the Bonnet magic. Great cover of It’s All Over Now Baby Blue (probably a [...]Archive
