After a week of bombarding you with music from this year, time for a trip in the Dubhed time machine (one careless owner, 23 million years on the clock, needs some re-upholstery and an oil change).
Materialising in 1977, your soundtrack today is 15 songs spanning punk, dub, alternative, (Egyptian) reggae, lovers' rock and most definitely not a Christmas song from Neil Young, handily split into two sides for your listening pleasure.
Settle back with a pack of Rowntrees Tots, a can of Blue Raspberry Panda Pop and a copy of 2000AD or Blue Jeans and enjoy the music before the sugar-induced coma hits.

What a great selection, Khayem, so absolutely '77 but not a clichéd version! As good as any time machine, I can smell the Findus Crispy pancakes from here. Good to see the Avengers included, I love that song and had quite a girl crush on Penelope Houston.
ReplyDeleteThanks, C, that means a lot. The Avengers song was completely new to me until I got a Mojo magazine cover CD packed with (it says here) "punk scorchers" in 2017. Better late than never!
