Product Description
You think you know the music of the seventies, sparkly disco, funk and soul followed by the the rise of rock music and popularity of punk. Simmering away underneath all of those well known tracks there was an exciting group of artists that didn't hit the charts and you won't find their records on old time playlists on your streaming services. This double album will set that injustice straight, all thanks to David Hepworth.
"The seventies were a grubby but glorious time for records. Many of those records never sullied a chart. Nor are they
served up by the algorithms which rule retro radio today. These two LPs correct that oversight. Young Americans revisits
classic rock icons in the fierce morning of their genius. Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers is unrepentant driving music from
the days before the mandatory seat belt. Blue Boar Blues is dedicated to the legions of British groups who lived
according to the white line on the M1. Finally, The Monstrous Regiment is a reminder of the female artists of the time,
some of whom are just being recognised today. As my comprehensive notes modestly assert, more occurred between
1971 and 1979 than in any period of music before or since. This is not an opinion. This is a fact. This is a double album to
prove it."
