Jul 5: 1977

Another great year for music.

February saw the release of Jethro Tull's 'Songs from the Wood' - perhaps their most complete album and which had the connections back to the land...


This is one of the albums I used to get out of the library in Rotherham and take home in large cardboard carriers on the bus before playing on my parents' Dynatron music centre before I got my own separates sound system from Richer Sounds.

Doing a bit of research I found it was the Dynatron "Norfolk" (MC1010CR) music centre with Garrard 35-SB turntable, manufactured in Cambridge, England.

Pink Floyd's 'Animals' was also released in this year. This was one of their more memorable albums.

Peter Gabriel 1: Car - a classic cover from Hipgnosis as well.

Talking Heads 77 - I was fortunate to see David Byrne earlier this year, and it was a superb theatrical performance.
