VA - Alternatives [1970]

WARNER BROTHERS

VA - Alternatives [1970]

This compilation album hails from the Great White North and brought to us by Warner Bros. Records, Canada. This album is a gem from the Warner/Reprise Loss Leaders series, a collection of promotional sampler compilation albums that were all the rage in the 1970s.

The album is a rich medley of sounds that captures the essence of the 1970s, a time of musical revolution. Each track on the album radiates with the unfiltered energy, passion, and innovation that were the hallmarks of the music of the 1970s. The compilation showcases a broad spectrum of rock styles, from the intensity of hard rock to the catchy rhythms of pop rock, mirroring the varied musical terrain of the era. The production quality of the album is top-notch, with each track carefully mastered to maintain the integrity of the original recordings.

“VA - Alternatives [1970]” stands as a tribute to the enduring charm of rock music and honours the artists who were instrumental in shaping the genre.  So, grab a cup of Tim Hortons, sit back, and enjoy the music, eh! (B)
