The sensational seventies...

[Virago]

...Trivia time...

Mutley and I were just digging through some of our old music collection - the stuff on vinyl. I bet there's some young 'uns here that have never played a "record"...

We've got this boxed set - the Reader's Digest Sensational Seventies.

Now - each album cover has photos of selected artists from the record. So - who are they?

Most are easy, ridiculously easy. But - some are a little more obscure...

First batch attached:

...and finally...

Yeah - I can name em all except the bottom of the first one and the very top of the last one in the first post.
Bottom pic of 77 don't know either - rest easy.

I used to pull some BABES working with KC & the Sunshine band.

The wild dogs cry out in the night,
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company.
I know that I must do what's right
As sure as Kalimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengetti
I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that I've become.

They were almost as bad as the Village People.

I'll post up the answers later, for any that haven't been collectively named.

In the meantime, the two that had me stumped - I had to turn over to look:


75 - top right;

78 - left.

Any takers?

[98tls]

75 top right........someone Neilsen ? He is in the ad for the soft rock CD that time-life and air-supply are peddling.
