featuring The Nice and Amen Corner on pink Immediate label; one of John Peel’s favourite bands on the Dandelion label, Principal Edwards Magic Theatre; very early Status Quo; Frijid Pink on Deram; a bit of Hawkwind on United Artists label; Three Dog Night on the Stateside label and finally Love’s best ever song on original Elektra label:
There are two versions of Judas Priest’s seminal 1976 LP on the Gull label (GULP 1015). I have found an alternative version from the Decca pressed version, one pressed by Pye Records.
