STRAWBS – Bursting at the Seams – (A&M) – 1973

EXILE – Self Titled – (RCA) – 1973
I had no idea who this band was when I picked up this LP, though I had seen their vinyl around in the past. After reading about them on allmusic (right now) it becomes abundantly clear that you gotta pay the … Continue reading

what Frank is listening to #82 – ROGER DALTREY – Daltrey – (MCA) – 1973 OK, I have been a Who “baiter“ from way back – the 80s in fact. I hate sacred cows. My recent tactic was to refer to … Continue reading
GLADYS KNIGHT & THE PIPS – Neither One of Us – (Tamla Motown) – 1973
