JETHRO TULL – Aqualung – (Chrysalis) – 1971
Jethro Tull are legendary. People obsess over them … Well, people of a certain age group obsess over them. I must admit general ignorance of them. General … I have their “Greatest Hits Volume One” and I have their 1980 … Continue reading
SHAWN PHILLIPS – Faces – (A&M) – 1972
It's hard opening a comment sometimes, especially when it's on someone you have discussed before. Perhaps you need something punchy, something to suck the reader(s) in? That opening line can be crucial, and I've probably just wasted it with my … Continue reading
COLOSSEUM – Colosseum – (Fontana) – 1969

SUPERTRAMP – Crime of the Century – (A&M) – 1975
what Frank is listening to #53- SUPERTRAMP – Crime of the Century – (A&M) – 1975 Back in the late 1970s the only thing I knew about Supertramp was that they were prog rock, they put out "Breakfast in America" … Continue reading
KANSAS – Audio-Visions – (Epic) – 1980
