Led Zeppelin – Physical Graffiti
First released as a double vinyl album in February 1975, Physical Graffiti went on to 16x Platinum, selling over eight million copies in the USA alone. Many consider Physical Graffiti Led Zeppelin’s finest hour.
Jethro Tull – Bursting Out – Live
With an awesome reputation live, it was decided that it was time for the essential live double album. So, during their European concert tour to support the latest release, Heavy Horses (1978), all of their concerts were recorded, and the best bits, in Ian Anderson’s opinion, put together for this release.
Jimmy Page – Outrider
For those dogs that like their Led Zeppelin without any frills, this is the bone for you.
Buddy Guy – Damn Right, I’ve Got The Blues
For those of you wanting to hear some genuine ‘Blues’ music recorded in a modern studio with all the sound quality that this gives, this is the album for you. It was unanimously voted Blues Album of the Year by the Grammies in 1992. This album just reeks of class.
The Sensational Alex Harvey Band – Next
Although Alex’s career did not really catch fire until late, when it finally did, it sure burned bright. If “The Sensational Alex Harvey Band” is a mystery to you, pay attention. Alex Harvey was one of the greatest ringmasters to have ever strode across the field of Rock’ n’ Roll.
Hawkwind – Space Ritual ‘Live’
Fortunately for us all, several Hawkwind shows were recorded, and the best of two from Liverpool and Manchester have been spliced together to give the complete experience, all done in the correct running order. This was first released as a double album in 1973 at the price of a single album, Hawkwind being Hawkwind and always giving value for money. As well as a poster-size foldout cover, you also got two booklets, one telling the story of the Space Ritual joining the dots between songs, the other giving you all the information you could possibly want about the tour.
Deep Purple – Days May Come Days May Go
Deep Purple recorded “Days May Come Days May Go” in 1975 at a very interesting time in their career. But they didn’t release it until 2000. “Days May Come, Days May Go” is certainly worth bending an ear to. Just to see what could have been.
Savoy Brown – Street Corner Talking
Savoy Brown’s sound progressed somewhat, moving on from the blues/boogie of yore to a much more contemporary blues/ rock. Much more joyous and bouncy.
Pink Floyd – Wish You Were Here
“Wish You Were Here” is still David Gilmour, Pink Floyd lead guitarist, vocalist and present leader’s favourite all-time Pink Floyd album.
Wishbone Ash – Argus ‘Then Again Live’
Argus was voted album of the year by very influential British Music Paper Sounds. Sold-out world tours followed, creating a huge fan base. An album that should be in every record collection.
