1971 vinyl OMG

Posted by: Allan Milne on 21 March 2018

 

Haven't posted for a long time and my music listening has been very sparse but SWMBO was out this morning and I turned to my vinyl which I have not visited for some time, being able to play it at a decent volume for once!

 

I noticed the first 2 albums I picked were both from 1971 and so did a trawl through my spreadsheet and ...

OMG - that was some kind of great year

 

... and perhaps has the best single side of any album - side one of Led Zeppelin IV ... IMO of course!

 

For anyone interested, below is a list of the 1971 vinyl albums I have and an now working my way through ... loudly and with a great smile on my face ...

 

After this I just might pick another year and have a go at that,

happy listening,

Allan

I have a number of the other albums members are suggesting but on ripped CDs rather than vinyl and no way to get their original release date without searching for every one on Google/Wikipedia/.... So thanks for the suggestions that I might follow to create a complete 1971 collection of the music I like.

 

I found mine by googling “1971 albums” and scanning through the monthly lists in Wikipedia’s “1971 in music”: quick to do, though only as accurate and complete as Wiki is...
