70's pearls

A genius - Harry Chapin - all of his production

I dunno about reference quality, but, if you're gonna invoke Harry Chapin, it's kinda hard to resist the temptation...

On-er topic Most of War's recordings were quite good, and the quality of the music is unassailable (even if often not exactly upbeat in terms of subject matter). Herewith, a couple of "greatest hits".

Talking about recording and allover sound quality, one of the first digital rock albums, 1979

Spotify tend to suggest me some pretty marginal music/artists lately, to my pleasure .
Something like the next track. Love the mood and the constantly engaged cymbals.

John & Beverley Martyn - Auntie Aviator (The Road To Ruin - 1970)

When I bought that record (the MoFi half-speed master) nearly 30 years ago, the record store guy (who knew me) asked, "You don't already have this album? ... Are you American?"

 

[MRC01]

One of my favorites, I had the 180 graph half-speed pressing which sounded absolutely fantastic.
A must-have for jazz fans, just spectacular music making. Recorded in 1974.

I know it's not a hidden gem by any definition, but with a thread title like that, it would be a crime not to mention:

Janis Joplin & the Full Tilt Boogie Band - Pearl

Beverly Glenn-Copeland - Erzili (1970)

 

[LTig]

Brand X "Maroccan Roll":

One and only LP, Sadly, this live recording is a bit sucky.

This one makes up for it, I'd opine (and FWIW).
