She was a fan of The Osmonds, David Cassidy, Bay City Rollers, etc. but I was more drawn to Glam Rock acts even at that age. Thanks as ever BB & K.

Papa Was A Rolling Stone was released on September 28, 1972 and is included in my 1972 best singles overview. <br />Cheers.Butterboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11979489332868984101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883466984258527857.post-90925453164988535122022-08-15T07:57:38.396+08:002022-08-15T07:57:38.396+08:00In The Early 70's The Singles A Sides Were Tar...In The Early 70's The Singles A Sides Were Targetted At The Younger Audience, Not Expected To Flip To The B Side, That Was Left To Big Brother/Sister Who Discovered The Rockier Sides.Telhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11425140223770095865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883466984258527857.post-86382143563969058922022-08-15T05:40:18.198+08:002022-08-15T05:40:18.198+08:00Thanks !!...Looking forward to 1970, 1971 and 1972...Thanks !!...Looking forward to 1970, 1971 and 1972 !Sergiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09328992680969500651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883466984258527857.post-49942571173683778362022-08-14T20:58:47.236+08:002022-08-14T20:58:47.236+08:00K has outdone himself not least by setting the bar...K has outdone himself not least by setting the bar so low as to include the likes of 'Nice One Cyril'<br /><br />Ah 1973. A year of stagflation (recession plus 9% inflation), industrial unrest, oil crises, price controls and IRA terrorism. Little wonder people's taste in music was lets say a tad frivolous and on the Glam side. It was the last year that all 4 Beatles each had top thirty entries in the UK Chart. It was also a year of pop nostalgia. Not only was there Bowie's Pin-Ups but the Who released Quadrophenia, Ringo gaves us the covers dominated 'Ringo', Bryan Ferry remnisced about 'These Foolish Things' and Rod Sang It Again and the cinemas drew us out to see American Graffiti and That'll Be The Day.<br /><br />Whilst K seems dismissive of the album scene that year the songs he's included in this collection tell a different story many of which were featured on that years top albums. Elton released Dont Shoot Me and Yellow Brick Road, McCartney released Red Rose Speedway and Band On The Run, Harrison released Living In The Material World, The Stones, Goat's Head Soup, David Bowie - Aladdin Sane and Pin-Ups, Lennon released Mind Games, Lou Reed - Berlin, Stooges - Raw Power, Free - Heartbreaker, Slade - Slayed, Quo - Piledriver & Hello, Paul Simon - There Goes Rhymin Simon, Eagles ~ Desperado, America ~ Hat-trick, Two from Yes - Yessongs & Tales From The Topographic Ocean, Genesis - Selling England by The Pound etc etc and there was the debut from Queen and over the pond one from Lynyrd Skynyrd and of course SImon & Garfunkel's Bridge Over Troubled Water and Greatest Hits still kept outselling most albums released that year. Then there was Floyd's monster of an offering. <br /><br />Certainly the single charts were full of the new Philly sound and Tamla but beyond the charts a lot more was going on with bands such as the Jam, Be-Bop Deluxe, The Skyhooks and Television all forming in 1973 and bands as diverse as Bachman Turner Overdrive, Queen, Cockney Rebel and KC And The Sunshine Band making their debuts debuts.<br /><br />What I am surprised at given the deserved focus on US soul is the omission of The Temptations and their two classic singles Papa Was A Rolling Stone and Law of The Land from the Masterpiece album, Bloodstone's Natural High also deserve consideration as more generally shouts for Albert Hammond's - Free Electric Band, Brownsville Station - Smokin In The Boys Room, Paul Simon's - Love Me Like A Rock and Take Me To The Mardi Gras, America's - Muskrat Love, Marmalade's - Our House Is Rockin', Don McLean - Dreidel, Hawkwind's - Urban Guerilla, the Kinks Sweet Lady Genevieve and the belatedly but aptly released Where Have All The Good Times Gone , The Stooges - Raw Power & Search & Destroy, Cockney Rebel - Sebastian and Deep Purple's - Woman In Tokyo most of whom seem equally as earthly as the Strawbs homage to industrial action.<br /><br />Of course in the US, Watergate and withdrawal from Vietnam War were the dominant news stories and it was the latter that really pushed Tie A Yellow Ribbon into the pop music stratosphere given its references to prodigal homecoming and by association returning US war veterans (with their families doing exactly that for them).<br /><br />Thanks for the interesting post K.<br /><br />PS And with bands like Slade and Sweet it was always a good idea to check out the B-Sides which were often far less frivolous offerings than the A-side.....Manny Kenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14293231441668483929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883466984258527857.post-26782167489679355512022-08-14T19:24:02.316+08:002022-08-14T19:24:02.316+08:00Thanks, msann.
