The Night Was Clear,And The Moon Was Yellow...
NEW LINKS
Another great compilation from K-Tel.
This time some of the Rock 'n' Roll pioneers.
A massive 25 tracks on one album.
Admittedly most of them are pretty short.
The story behind this is it was one of those records
that was in the house when I was younger.
Due to moving and whatever else was going on
it disappeared.
A few years ago I tracked it down on ebay.
And here it is in all its glory.
Expect a few pops and crackles there's only so
much I can do before I ruin it!
Released in '72.

A Little Bit Of Light Relief (A Rock Sampler)
to give it it's full title.
From 1982 on the Polydor label.
Some pretty good bands here and if you listened to
The Friday Rock Show in the UK

The greatest Heavy Metal Compilation of all time?
I'm saying yes especially if you were in your teens
in 1980.It pretty much contained all the big bands at the time
and their classic track.
It's where I went on to discover more
Aerosmith,Priest,Nugent,Scorpions etc etc.
Great memories with this record.
On the K-Tel label.
