Macca's most commercially successful album... and one of the very best released by a former Beatle. Most of the backing tracks were recorded in Lagos, Nigeria, under trying circumstances. Catchy, uplifting, and bearing repeated listening exceptionnally well. [First added to this chart: 09/23/2013]

"Discovered" by Kevin Ayers, funded by Richard Branson's brand new label (Virgin),multi-instrumentalist Odlfield released his iconic debut just in time for his twentieth birthday. His next two albums are equally beguiling. [First added to this chart: 09/23/2013]

Overrated for sure. Maybe not even Pink Floyd's best, let alone the "second best album of all time" BUT a masterpiece of an album nonetheless, that no loger needs any introduction. Just to be listened to. [First added to this chart: 09/23/2013]
