Last up. Any long term fans of this masterpiece on here? Seems to be an album whose reputation has somehow diminished over the last 30 years. Not with me. Absolutely nailed on, and by far the Stones best.

The Beatles, Let It Be (1970)

One more before the day starts properly.
Didn’t get round to spinning it for #5albums70s. Love it, though.

Isley Brothers, 3+3 (1973)

Played this for #5albums70s, first time for years. It’s such a great album, needs to be on far more regular rotation.

The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart, eponymous. (2021 reissue).

Taking a break from #5albums70s this weekend. After all, I wouldn’t want to be accused of being a 70s nostalgia account..

Spinning albums of this year’s gig line up.

#5albums70s Ian Dury & The Blockheads - New Boots And Panties!! (1977) Only in 77 would a mix of punk, disco, pub rock, and music hall coupled with Dury's lyrical brilliance and humour work. But work it did, and how! Also, parent-horrifying weapons grade swearing. #NowPlaying

Next up in #5albums70s is this absolute banger from #Parliament One of my fave #P-funk records! No filler here. A clear contender. #johnsvinyl #nowplaying

Moving into 1974 in #5albums70s3 with #JoniMitchell. I’ve struggled a bit with her records so far in the #5albums70s polls. But third time’s a charm for me. I found this one enjoyable all the way through. #johnsvinyl #wasplaying

Classic roots from 1976. Sadly doubt it’ll qualify for #5albums70s. But it deserves to.

Excited to finally have this in #johnsvinyl. I listened to it on 🍎 for #5albums70s and have been looking for it ever since. #nowplaying

Last spin last night for #5albums70s 74/100 from 1978. Not my go-to Heads, but it’s a weird and fun romp. #johnsvinyl #wasplaying

Next up in my 1979 spins for #5albums70s is this proto-grunge wonder disc. I haven’t played this in some time and forgot how f’in good it is! #johnsvinyl #nowplaying

Haven’t spun this for a long time. At the least, one of my favourite Fabs solo albums (though I don’t count record three). Full to the brim of great songs and brilliantly produced, of course.

Next up from today’s Vinyl Cup haul. I listened to this on 🍎 for #5albums70s and loved it. Great punk and Feargal’s voice is so awesome. Sounds even better on vinyl. #johnsvinyl #nowplaying

Must be at least ten “certs” left in the last #5albums70s semi final. These two won’t be cool enough to be included but they’re both terrific for me. The Art lp cover is a cracker too.

Romantically, we're a disaster. But musically, Richard and Linda Thompson were a match made in Heaven. Never more so than on their first album, where her arresting voice and his unparalleled guitar playing combine for a folk rock classic, and one of the best #5albums70s

What an absolutely amazing debut. #TheCars had it all in one place. Rock, proto-punk, and new-wave. All with a keen pop sensibility. And with both Ocasek and Orr trading off on vocals. A great album throughout. It’s the last 1978 listen for #5albums70s in #johnsvinyl #nowplaying

1st listen. Magazine are one of those bands that I missed in the day. Glad to have picked up a used copy recently for #johnsvinyl & fortuitously also for consideration in #5albums70s. I’m a #Buzzcocks fan so Devoto’s voice is familiar. But the post-punk sound is different & compelling. #nowplaying

Moving these two from 1978 in #johnsvinyl for #5albums70s. I have Wire en route and Eno in #johnsCDs yet to consider.

1. Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures

4. The Clash - The Clash
5. The Stranglers - Rattus Norvegicus

Next up for 1976 in #5albums70s is yet another previously unplayed slab from #johbsvinyl. I knew Joan from her 80s stuff so I picked this up a few years ago & then promptly filed it Glad to dust it off today & give it a Sunday morning listen. Really good. Her voice is quite wonderful! #nowplaying

More cowbell!

Sorry but I had to go there. Spinning this for #5albums70s. It’s in #johnsvinyl but I can’t remember playing the whole thing. It’s uneven and not very appealing to me overall. Gotta love “Reaper” though. #nowplaying
