Around Summertime of 1977, I was still working as a Chef in the same Hotel, but by now I was by now seeing Susan all the time, I will always remember sitting in her bedroom with her listening to The Isley Brothers "Go for your guns" album, we both had the Vinyl Album! our Favorite Track was "Footsteps in the dark" GREAT TRACK!
By mid "77 most of the Music I brought was Soul, apart a few Funk Albums i.e
BRASS CONSTRUCTION, BROTHERS JOHNSON, BOOTSY, BOHANNON, FATBACK.
I recall one day going to Airfield Tapes to buy an Album, and one stood out from the rest, it was the Front Cover that caught my eye, they were called "SLAVE" I had never heard of them!
anyway there was 9 Band Members pictured on the back Cover, so I brought the Album!
What a GREAT ALBUM it was, I recorded it to Cassette Tape for the Car, and listened to it for Months, I still have the Vinyl Album to this day, but of course I now have the CD version!
The GREAT TRACKS on the Album were "SLIDE" "PARTY HARDY" "SCREW YOUR WIG ON TITE" and my Favorite "YOU AND ME"
This Album was nothing like I had ever heard before, it was what I had been listening to up until then, ie Soul Music but it had something else, what you would describe as Rock Music, please listen to the Album Tracks on the Walkman at the bottom of this post! and to this day I still regularly play "SLAVE"
not really my music, but I think it was led zeppelin!
