Abbey Road – The Beatles (Album Covers)

Maybe it's the sound, maybe it's the analog warmth or maybe it's a certain x-factor that made this album sound like a fresh listening on vinyl. Reagan Gavin Rasquinha recalls the first time he heard it, completely by chance and a friend's father's pristine LP collection.

Dr Hook – Sometimes You Win….

If you’re a 70s music lover, you surely must have heard of the classic, When You're In Love With A Beautiful Woman a US Top 10 hit by Dr. Hook. This 10 song album has a few more classics, however the above song is not in this playlist, you can find it on their previous album ‘Pleasure and Pain’ (1978). No one really knows the reason, but the super smash song When You're In Love With A Beautiful Woman, was later included on some of the copies of ‘Sometimes You Win’ maybe in the hope to increase album sales. However this album doesn’t have the hit song. So some copies have the chart buster as track 11, and others don't cause like the album cover screams, ‘Sometimes You Win’ and like Sometimes You Don't.

The best of bread – Bread (Import)

Bread were one of the finest pop rock bands of all time. Led by the unforgettable voice and songs of guitarist David Gates, alongside the vocals and writings of guitarist James Griffin, Bread scored several number one and top five singles and albums, which made them one of the most popular groups of the seventies. Supplemented by the super talents of Larry Knechtel, Mike Botts and Robb Royer, Bread recorded such huge smash recordings.

Let There Be Rock – ACDC

Although a pop rock fan since the very beginning, I have been following the Australian band ACDC for some time and when I got a chance to pick this vinyl many years ago, I did not regret it as hard rock bands have always been a part of my musical upbringing. Adding this LP to my collection, I have pleasantly listened to and re-listened to this work full of energy, with the unparalleled virtuosity of Angus and the overwhelming voice of, never forgotten, Bon Scott. The whole band pays homage to rock and the blues.

Toys in the Attic - Aerosmith

After a very long tour in support of their album, ‘Get Your Wings’, Aerosmith was tight and playing better than ever. They were ready to jump back in the studio for new album and bring back producer Jack Douglas. Their first two albums used up all the songs they had been playing for years and so it was time they brought out some brand new material for their ever growing fans.

Madonna - The First Album – Madonna

The debut studio album by American singer Madonna, by Sire Records made the songstress a household name instantly. This was an album I remember in my youth singing her catchy songs and dancing to them. I am so glad to have this original pressing in my collection. This has been one of my favorite albums since I was a kid.

American Idiot – Green Day

As a backlash to the popular sound of disco that pervaded the early ‘70s, the alternative sound of punk [an abbreviation for “punk rock”] had its genesis, especially in England, with slogans ranging from "disco sucks" to "death to disco".
