Lazy Days: The British Progressive Pop Sounds Of 1975 [Import] (3 Cd's) | Retro Vinyl Club

DescriptionThree CD set. 2024 instalment of Grapefruit's acclaimed year-by-year overview of the British rock and pop scenes of the 70s. A compendium of hit singles, intriguing misses, cult classics and key album tracks from 1975. While received wisdom among pop pundits is that 1975 was merely the calm before the following year's punk-instigated storm, there was plenty of vibrant, vital music being made in Britain and Ireland during that largely overlooked 12-month period. Roxy Music, 10cc and ELO were still firing on all cylinders, Thin Lizzy and post-Free act Bad Company were emerging as prime contenders for stardom, Hawkwind remained linchpins of the still-thriving free festival circuit, and cult live performers The Sensational Alex Harvey Band unexpectedly achieved Top Ten singles success after covering a melodramatic Tom Jones' ballad. The London-based pub rock scene housed the likes of Ace, Brinsley Schwartz, The Kursaal Flyers and the game-changing Dr. Feelgood, successful glam-era bands like Slade and Sweet were still producing the goods, while a handful of 60s stalwarts - Manfred Mann, The Pretty Things, The Kinks - were updating their sound to appeal to a new generation of record-buyers. All these and more are documented in 'Lazy Days', a four-hour, 3CD boxed set that, like every other release in the series, includes a 48-page booklet with photos, cuttings and the story behind each song.Tracks- Disc 1 -1 Good Lovin' Gone Bad -2 Bad Company3 Imagine Me, Imagine You - Fox4 Right or Wrong -Stealers Wheel5 In for a Penny - Slade6 Wild One - Thin Lizzy7 My White Bicycle -Nazareth8 Riding for a Fall -Moonrider9 Everybody's a Star (Starmaker) - the Kinks10 Precious Love - Stray11 Jean Cocteau - Be Bop Deluxe12 Both Ends Burning -Roxy Music13 Blue Guitar - Justin14 Hayward & John Lodge15 Good News - 10CC16 Evil Woman - Electric Light Orchestra17 Dan the Plan - Alan Hull18 Brother, Can You Spare a Dime? - Ronnie Lane19 I'll Regret It All in the Morning - Richard & Linda Thompson Carol - Al Stewart20 Ain't Gonna Stand for This No More (Single Version) - Ace21 A Whole Pot of Jelly (For a Little Slice of Toast) - Pete Wingfield Private Number - Babe Ruth- Disc 2 -1 Fox on the Run (Single Version) - Sweet2 Won't Get Burned Again-David Essex3 In the Future - Sparks4 Nothing to Do with Us -Jet5 You Go to My Head -Bryan Ferry6 Frontera - Phil Manzanera7 Share It - Hatfield and the North8 Stuck in a Hole - Caravan9 Go and Sit Upon the Grass - Ivor Cutler10 Sad Sing - Tom Newman11 Run Billy Run - the Shadows12 Heard It All Before - Pilot13 Highbury Incident (Rainy July Morning) -Stackridge14 Titles - Barclay James Harvest15 Someone to Love -Speedy Keen16 Hit Records - Kursaal Flyers17 Lonely Eyes - Method18 Summer Song - Clive John19 Blue Eyed Boy - Heavy Metal Kids20 Delilah (Live) - the Sensational Alex Harvey Band21 Raingame - Streetwalkers22 Arms of Mary -Sutherland Brothers & Quiver 23 There's a Cloud in My23 Heart - the Brinsleys- Disc 3 -1 Once Bitten, Twice Shy (Single Edit) - Ian Hunter2 Play Don't Worry - Mick Ronson3 By Tonight - Mott4 Running Through the City - Brian Protheroe5 Spirits in the Night Single Edit) - Manfred Mann's Earth Band6 Minstrel in the Gallery (Single Edit) - Jethro Tull7 Highfly - John Miles8 Take It Away - Kestrel9 Sad Eye - Pretty Things10 Trust in Dick - the Winkies11 Hard Times - Peter Skellern12 L'hippie Nationale - the Neutrons13 Mr. Raffles (Man It Was14 Mean) - Steve Harley/ Cockney Rebel15 La Maison de L'amour - Son-Of-A-Gun16 Mad Dog (Single Mix) - John Entwistle's Ox17 Kings of Speed - Hawkwind18 Odd Man Out - Agnes Strange19 Shoot Shoot - Ufo20 Lazy Day - Oddsocks21 Back in the Night - Dr. Feelgood22 Birthday Special - Peter Hammill
