Show me the band or artist you credit for setting you on your way. The usual suspects came later but honestly it was these fellas that first turned my head. My big sister was mad about them so that fantastic run of singles in the early 70s were a constant soundtrack in our house when I was a kid.

I have lotss of news. Look out for Monday the 2nd of February!!

Off on our travels tonight, absolute classic and need to finish it tomorrow 🍿🎬📽️👻

#NP: #NowPlaying: Electric Light Orchestra - 'A New World Record' (1976) (2006 remaster) More huge success for #ElectricLightOrchestra. 'Livin' Thing' and 'Telephone Line' were the big hits here. Also a reworking of The Move's 'Do Ya' and the Beatlesque 'Shangri-La'. Again, a nice album. #ELOthon

JMc with the Mahavishnu Orchestra, ‘The Inner Mounting Flame’ (1971, CD). One of my earliest forays into jazz and fusion. My teenage brain was completely rewired from this point on 🤯😎 and just couldn’t get enough … magnificent

#NP: #NowPlaying: Electric Light Orchestra - 'Face The Music' (1975) (2006 remaster) With this album, #ElectricLightOrchestra really got into success! With 'Evil Woman' as the big hit, I think 'Fire On High' and 'One Summer Dream' are the real gems. Nice album, overall. #ELOthon

Recently rediscovered 10cc's 1973 debut. Pretty impressive stuff. The band's powerful hooks, cleverness and trademark sense of humour are already there. Yes, they've released better and more polished works but this lays the groundwork for their classic mid-seventies LPs and remains a fun listen.

Peter Gabriel - US (2016) #vinyl. Not played this in a long while, been stuck in the cupboard too long. It’s rather good throughout, with a variety of styles. Not going to win over anyone that isn’t a fan of Gabriel though.

Unofficial 2004 release. Very good quality though. Originally released 1971.

Dreamt I was in a studio with Fripp trying to record handclaps for a song but I kept going out of time and laughing. He threatened to thump me.

Bought OTD in 1969: one of the first albums I ever bought. The whole thing is pretty great but I keep on coming back to the spooky ones: The End, End of the Night, The Crystal Ship
