More listening to LPs bought in the year of release again today...

On the Twitter, journalist and writer Mark Paytress was posting up old lists of "charts" from the 70's...

So other people did that too?

Here are my top 30 LPs from this week in 1975, Elton John at No 1....

...and (for some reason, just) my top ten singles - Ian Hunter at No 1...

On telly this evening "In The Dark" moved on in an unexpected fashion and is really rather good...

As was, of course, "Holby City", as it took us up to midnight and bedtime...

Highlight of the Day : Looking at my old charts....

Cloudland Blue Eclectic Selection

In a one-man crusade to encourage the world to broaden its musical horizons, David has been broadcasting a weekly Eclectic Selection of music from across his vast record collection since 2014. On the programme each week, you'll hear 25 Tracks, kicking off with David's LP of the Week, followed by his six other LPs of the day, three or so CBQ, or CBQ related, tracks, a single of the week (if there is one), a couple more singles (if there are any) and a further eclectic mix of other things new into the collection... It's eclectic!
