It's so fascinating that you have the Raspberries and Dion and Moondog and Gary Wright and Mungo Jerry. I know that song In the summertime when the weather is fine. I love that record.And Giorgio too.

Very unusual 70´s chart.
I like it.
Lot´s of surprising but good picks:
Moondog, Van der Graaf, Klaatu, Atomic Rooster and why not Sweet..
Nice to see some of my all-time favorites: Moondance, Paris 1919, Berlin.
