For Those of a Certain Age Not Dead Yet Wshhbone Ash

[Techno II]

 .....I really like that track, Graham.

Another favourite from '72...

Jethro Tull - Thick as a brick.

I still listen to that quite regularly.

(I must go through my favourite bands' discographies.....and see what else I bought around that time....in vinyl, obviously. )

Cheers - Phil.

[Techno II]

And finally...from '72.

Paladin - Charge.
Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Trilogy.
Groundhogs - Who will save the World.
Gentle Giant - Octopus
Moody Blues - Seventh Sojourn.
Mott the Hoople - All the young dudes
Pink Floyd - Obscured by Clouds.

Cheers - Phil.

Dusty Springfield
Ken Dodd
Rambling Sid Rumpo
The Partridge Family
Mary Hopkin
Roy Rogers
Tiny Tim

[Ithoriel]

In 1971 I was the proud owner of a Pinky and Perky flexi disk

but this got to Number 2 or thereabout in the charts.

[Heedless Horseman]

I ascribe my longevity to never liking that new fangled stuff and sticking with Elvis.  

After an evening with the 80's Pub juke box 'stuck' on Elvis... ALL Bl***DY night!... well, NOT a fan anymore!  

[Orcs]

In 1971 I was more interested in Blue Peter and Animal Magic on the black and White telly than Top of the Pops.

Yes I was that young. !  ( "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away....",) 

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

Bought me 1st album - Led Zep 2, was looking for 3 but not avaliable in our local store.

[Techno II]

Curved air...forgotten them.

Did like that tune though.

Cheers - Phil 

[flamingpig0]

If we are going to talk about 70s rock

[flamingpig0]

Curved air...forgotten them.

Did like that tune though.

Cheers - Phil 

The track was later covered by Salad

You have to have a Dutch front women for it to work -  perhaps

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

Would have done the vinal no good at all 

[Heedless Horseman]

Well, back to topic!

LOL! How many times,  late teens/early 20s, did I stagger back from Pub, full of booze and self inflicted pain... to lose myself in the 'Dark Age Epic' that was 'Argus'?
Somehow, it was always 'hopeful' !  
Ha!

But, another, less so, but with 'passion' and 'expression'...

LOL!

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

Tull were better but both good finds !

[Heedless Horseman]

Tull were better but both good finds !

Tull  'Very eclectic'!  But such imagery!  'Too Young', 'Heavy Horses'... 

[sunjester]

Also "Aqualung" (my first intoduction to Tull), "Songs from the Wood", "Thick as a Brick" or even "This Was"!

[Techno II]

Used to have all the 'Tull vinyl from the year dot....Got LOADS of their CDs   (25, from a quick count...including bootlegs) chronologically those start at 'Aqualung'......and finish with 'Thick as a Brick 2'.......(Which is really just Ian Anderson.)

Love a huge amount of their stuff.....But there are a few albums in the collection that are definitely a bit 'so-so'/'nothingy'.

Broadsword & The Beast is a belter !!!

Cheers - Phil

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

My dad has all the early Floyd on vinyl, that's how I discovered them.
My mum had the Grateful Dead...

Rumours on white vinyl, Led Zep IV on pink!

[Techno II]

Save 'em, Will.

99% of my vinyl went to landfill, when we moved.

Only Floyd vinyl I've got now is a direct cut/half speed master of DSOTM......And it's been in one of the sheds, so long, it's probably completely boggered. (Sic)

Cheers - Phil.

1972
I'd expand that purchase list with:

Black Sabbath - Vol. 4
Blue Oyster Cult - B.O.C.
David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust
Hawkwind - Doremi Fasol Latido
Lou Reed - Transformer
Status Quo - Piledriver
Thin Lizzy - Shades of a Blue Orphanage
Uriah Heep - Magician's Birthday

I may also have bought Slayed but not sure that's cool to list 

In 1972 I owned one record a Pinky and Perky flexi disc - which didnt play properly as the idiot postman had manged to damage it by folding it to get it throught the lettter box.
