Classic Albums

Harry Steilus discusses Free's self-titled 2nd album. Coming before the hit single 'All Right Now', this was the album that solidified Free's unique blues/rock/pop sound. And it highlighted the brilliance of the young players Paul Kossoff, Andy Fraser, Paul Rodgers & Simon Kirke.

The Masters Apprentices recorded 'Choice Cuts' at Abbey Road studios in 1971 but due to lack of support from their record company, were forced to return to Australia and missed the chance to launch this classic album. 

Harry Steilus looks at the legendary guitar slinger Chris Spedding and his late work Pearls. Spedding can be heard on countless great albums from the likes of Brian Ferry, John Cale and The Wombles!  

Harry Steilus looks at 'Sleepwalker' one of The Kinks' late period gems. Moving away from the concept format back to finely written pop ballads, Ray, Dave & the boys made what is arguably their best album since 1971's Muswell Hillbillies.

Harry Steilus opens the Todd Rundgren vault and dusts off the Adventures in Utopia album. Todd the endlessly fascinating rock wizard is back again with the re-formed Utopia.
