Don't think I really needed a time machine to revisit 1971, never really left it! So it occurred to me that I concur with the sentiment of David Hepworth that it was a stellar year for music.To that end I am starting to prepare a series of 1971 comps (5 or 6) to share with you faithful RZians. Don't expect to hear "Stairway to Heaven", "Mockingbird", "Baba O'Riley" or others that are too obvious,for example,Top 40 BBC/Billboard hits. Also trying to steer clear of tracks that have been included on v/a compilations in the past however a few will inevitably slip through that net. Of course there were prog & heavier sounds appearing round every turn in 1971 but also it was a golden age for sunshine,euro pop etc and actually in contrast these genres make a pleasurable mix.In conclusion expect some lesser heard or rarer tracks and even a few transfers from my own collection - stay tuned!!
