Classic Rock
Elton John Tumbleweed Connection
A landmark album in the world of rock. At all times the musicianship and songwriting are faultless, with Elton putting every ounce of emotion into Bernie Taupin’s lyrics.
Led Zeppelin: Led Zeppelin IV
Within eighteen months, three British musicians went from virtual obscurity to being part of the best known rock band in the world. By the end of 1971, Led Zeppelin IV, on pre-sales, went to #1 all over the world.
Mott the Hoople – Brain Capers (Featuring the Brain Caper Kids) 1971
Definitely one of the wackiest albums ever recorded. Every track is an absolute corker. The whole album was put onto tape in five days of madness at Advisions studios in London.
Led Zeppelin: ‘Presence’ (remixed)
Led Zeppelin were, without any shadow of a doubt, the biggest Rock band in the world in 1975. We are talking about Led Zeppelin here – the super-heroes of the Rock world.

Flash – Flash
“Flash” had a vibrancy and optimism that transcended all the stereotypes of seventies rock music. They really loved their music and it always showed. They were Flash – their life was short but burned bright. They came and went in a Flash.
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.
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.
Hard Stuff – Bulletproof
The musicianship is never anything but superb; for that alone, the album cannot be faulted. The best and heaviest thing on the album is the John Gustafson-written ‘Sinister Minister’ with its crunchy guitar licks and bass-heavy driven rhythm.
Threshold – Legends of the Shires
It’s impossible to pick out highlights on Legends of the Shires as the album is best served to be listened to in its entirety. But after a brief introduction, the second song, Small Dark Lines, shows off Threshold’s combined power. Heavy riffing over a pounding beat with determined vocals—an aural battering.
