Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
The title track of this epochal album, 'Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band' was a fine Paul McCartney song utilizing - in addition to the usual Beatles instrumental line-up - four French...

Sticky Fingers

The Rolling Stones

Détail amusant et typiquement Stonien : le 1er pressage anglais du LP avait CUN 59100 pour référence qui deviendra vite COC 59100 toujours pour les anglais mais aussi pour les US les français et les allemands. Le pressage français dont je fais référence ici est donc COC 59100

Aftermath is the first consistent Rolling Stones album. Their first album that's solid all the way. It was a breakthrough for them, unlike their previous efforts all songs were written by the Jagger/Richards team.

III

Band: Led Zeppelin
Album: III

ALBUM REVIEWS 200815120911383437

With the Beatles gone, Led Zep was on top by 1970 with only the Rolling Stones as rivals. So, anyone would have expected a continuity of 'bluesy' Led Zep II, but instead they tried different options, and thereby inventing 'Hard Folk'.. But it just worked. Gone were much of the Blues elements that prevailed in the first two albums. Led Zep III brought...

If you're already familiar with Dylan's 1960's and 1970's albums but you never heard his debut album you'll be flabbergasted when you'll hear it. Indeed this was a small budget album (around 400$) and Bob's contributed only two of his compositions and the rest was traditional songs. The overall sounds...

Look at the cover: the Beatles crossing 'Abbey Road' going to the studios. Did they know that this was going to be the last album they will ever record together? Yes they knew that 'Abbey Road' was probably going to be the last recorded Beatles album.
