Day 25: “Life on Mars”..it’s 70’s night ..

An absolutely smokin' live LP recorded in 1970.

And to illustrate the staying power of great, timeless music, a smokin' cover of one of these songs by Rich Robinson I recorded at a bar 46 years later...

Paul McCartney & Wings - Band on the Run


The title track is up there with my favorite McCartney songs ever, it’s amazing that they were able to put out such a great album with all the issues plaguing the recording sessions.

Haruomi Hosono & Tadanori Yokoo ‎– Cochin Moon

"Released in September 1978, a mere two months before YMO’s debut, Cochin Moon is a clear precursor to the groundbreaking synth and sequencer-dominated sounds that would come to define the iconic trio. Credited to Hosono and Pop Art legend Tadanori Yokoo (who created the cover art), Cochin Moon is a fictional soundtrack to a journey into unknown worlds, inspired by Hosono and Yokoo’s trip to India."

Frank Zappa - Hot Rats (Bizarre Records, 1970 First UK Pressing)

I originally thought this came out in 1970, but looks like the US pressing came out in 1969. Seeing as this is the UK pressing, which was released in 1970 I guess it counts? Maybe on a technicality

Day 17: “Fab Four”- Make or break time ..those bands that reached the 4th album ..play album number 4 or IV.

Caroline Rose is great. I saw her live a few years ago and her show was a lot of fun. I suppose this could wait until the "young folks" day, but this works here, too.

Her fourth album... she's a superstar!

Caroline Rose ‎– Superstar
