The Beatles - One
Every single from this great band on one CD.That's 27 singles
from Love Me Do to The Long & Winding Road via such
classics as Eleonor Rigby and Hey Jude. If you haven't got
the individual albums this has to be an addition to your
collection.
|
| Frankie Goes To Hollywood
- Welcome To The Pleasuredome
An excellent album from the Liverpool band who set records
for having consecutive number one's (contained on this disc)
whilst being banned from radio stations for the risque lyrics.

Al Stewart - Year of the Cat
A masterpiece of an album with quality tracks from start to
finish. Stewart has a wonderful knack of writing meaningful
lyrics to accompany his melodic tunes. Definitely one to own! |
| Remember Cat Stevens - The
Ultimate Collection
What was said for Al Stewart (above) also goes for Cat Stevens
aka Yussuf Islam. Stevens recorded some of his best material
in the 70's including Father & Son, First Cut Is The Deepest,
Here Comes My Baby, Wild World, etc. Another essential purchase! |

Gary Moore -
Blues & Ballads
Whilst not strictly a 1970's album this disc is too good to
leave out and captures the spirit of the era. Former Thin
Lizzy guitarist Moore sure knows how to play that guitar!
|
| Hawkwind - Live & Rare
What can I say about Hawkwind? Space music, sci fi music (empowered
in their collaboration with sci-fi writer Michael Moorcock),
synthesiser rock. There are a lot of budget priced albums
by Hawkwind. Go out and get one! |
|

|
Hawkwind -
The Collector Series
Another budget album from the space rockers and every track
is a gem. Given the price of theses CD's it really is a
steal.
|
|
Hawkwind -
Master of the Universe
Another budget Hawkwind compilation that includes a live
version of Silver Machine. One for Hawkwind fans.

Hawkwind -
In Search Of Space
Released in 1971 this album established Hawkwind as the leading
proponents of "Space Rock" The remastered CD contains
a number of bonus tracks including the original single recording
of Silver Machine. |
|
Hawkwind -
Doremi Fasol Latido
A follow-up to the album above this 1972 offering served
to reaffirm the quality of the band. The track Brainstorm
is an 11.00 minute trip through the light fantastic. One
of the bonus tracks on the CD is called Ejection which,
if my memory serves me right, was actually contained on
a solo Robert Calvert album.

Jimi Hendrix -
Are You Experienced
A must-have album from the left-handed guitar god. Worth
buying for Hey Joe and Purple Haze but the whole CD is magnificent!
|
|
The Jam -
Greatest Hits
A mod band that bucked the trend of punk rock towards the
end of the 70's. Great songs by Paul Weller and some youth
anthems within the 19 tracks
