The Clash – London Calling
Busting at the seams with creative energy, The Clash’s stunning 1979 double album, “London Calling,” digitally remastered from the original production tapes, puts both vinyl albums on one CD.
Led Zeppelin – How The West Was Won
This is the rock album release of 2003 by a country mile. This collection of songs stands head and shoulders above anything else during that twelve months.
Genesis Live 1973
Two concerts were recorded at the Free Trade Hall, Manchester and De Montfort Hall, Leicester, on the band’s tour of the UK supporting the Foxtrot. (Magnificent they were too.) As a result, five songs were released on Genesis Live, which met with great critical acclaim and enthusiasm by the British record-buying public.
Free – Fire and Water
Fire and Water was a smash hit all over the world, selling over two million copies and climbing to number four on the Billboard chart. This was even more remarkable as although by then veterans of the circuit, they were all still under twenty when this album was released.
Jethro Tull – Aqualung
In early 1971, Jethro Tull went into the newly opened Island recording studios for three weeks to record their new album (the other band in residence at Island at the same time was Led Zeppelin, who were laying down tracks for their fourth album). When they came out again, they had recorded one of rock’s great moments. “Aqualung” was released to its adoring public, and in reality, it gave Ian Anderson and his bunch the right to lifetime superstardom.
Man – Man Alive
This is the story of the Welsh rock ‘n’ roll band ‘Man,’ not the people. This Dog can understand rock ‘n’ roll; people are a lot trickier. Part one revolves around the recently released live greatest hits album sensibly titled ‘Man Alive.’

The Small Faces get bigger Part Two
“So, in the mornin’, please don’t say you love me;” ‘A Nod is as Good as a Wink to a Blind Horse’ is pure Faces’ style good time music.
Led Zeppelin – Led Zeppelin
Listening to this album 53 years later on, does it live up to the hype? Has it stood the ravages of time? Is a Dalmatian a beautiful dog? Of course it has; the brilliance of diamonds does not dim over a few years.
The Small Faces get bigger Part One
What a glorious band. Formed out of the ashes of ‘The Small Faces’ and ‘The Jeff Beck Band,’ nobody could have predicted the influence this lovable bunch of rogues would have on rock ‘n’ roll history.
