From neilgee 11/06/2015 15:44

I'm not surprised to see Showaddywaddy in there, there were some good pop albums in those days, for example I like the first Rubettes album, the only trouble is that this Showaddywaddy compilation is not from 1974, tracks like 'When' were recorded about 3 years later.

The Slade album is perhaps the only other beside the 71 live album I would include in my own charts, when I get around to doing a 74 chart, soon hopefully.

Thank you for your input sssvnnn :)
