Alan's Archives' Under-Rated Albums Part Three (1972-79)
A Listmania! list by Alan's Album Archives (Lancashire, UK)

Romany (Expanded Edition)

1. Romany (Expanded Edition) by Hollies

The list author says:
	"The new-look Hollies, with new Swedish singer in tow, finally produce the dreamy acoustic masterpiece they'd long been on the verge of making. The harmonies are spledniforous and the writing perfect."

Manassas

2. Manassas by Stephen Stills

The list author says:
	"For my money Stills had the best form of any writer for the five years between 1969 and 1974. This is him at full steam on a double album, with several musical geniuses along for the ride."

�7.56 Used & New from: �4.32

Seventh Sojourn

3. Seventh Sojourn by The Moody Blues

The list author says:
	"Album recorded in keyboardist's garage is a lovely swansong to the Moodies' original all-in-this-together-sound. One of the nicest bittersweet goodbyes in history, with symphonic landscapes aplenty."

Approximately...

4. Approximately... by Yoko Ono

The list author says:
	"One of ther Ono-Lennons spent most of 1972 crafting a cracking double album full of pioneering songs on controversial subjects that covered a ridiculous range of styles. And for once it wasn't John."

Holland [Limited Edition] [Japanese Import]

5. Holland [Limited Edition] [Japanese Import] by The Beach Boys

The list author says:
	"The B Boys decided that the best way of escaping their managerial, commercial and musical fortunes was to de-camp to Holland for six months. Well, 1 out of 3 isn't bad - this is a lovely, mature album"

There Goes Rhymin' Simon

6. There Goes Rhymin' Simon by Paul Simon

The list author says:
	"One of the most consistent records of Paul's admirable career, featuring the singer at his most informal+ joyous + bursting at the seams with ideas. The sprightly Muscle Shoals backing is perfect too."

�6.31 Used & New from: �6.27

Headroom/Allan Clarke/I've Got Time

7. Headroom/Allan Clarke/I've Got Time by Allan Clarke

The list author says:
	"Another forgotten gem that sold poorly at the time (and again on CD a few years back), 'Headroom' is a classic album by the Hollies singer, full of classy swamp rockers and heart-melting ballads."

Used & New from: �43.00

Goats Head Soup

8. Goats Head Soup by The Rolling Stones

The list author says:
	"For once you can judge a CD by its cover: half of this under-rated set is blood-red with violence and danger and the other half finds Mick jagger at his most, well, 'horny'!"

�13.99 Used & New from: �5.29

Wake of the Flood

9. Wake of the Flood by Grateful Dead

The list author says:
	"Warm, lazy and full of slow-burning epics so delicate in places that they test your powers of hearing, this is probably my favourite Dead album of the lot, subtle and clever and magical all at once."

�13.04 Used & New from: �8.45

Quadrophenia

10. Quadrophenia by The Who

The list author says:
	"This concept album about a messed-up mod and his 4-way-split personality is simply one of the best albums ever made by anybody. Townshend's characterisation is spot-on, with his lyrics at their best."

�6.67 Used & New from: �3.46

It's Jack The Lad

11. It's Jack The Lad by Jack the Lad

The list author says:
	"Lindisfarne off-shoot that's well worth a listen, straddling pop rock and folk with typical aplomb."

Buddha & Chocolate Box

12. Buddha & Chocolate Box by Yusuf/Cat Stevens

The list author says:
	"Lesser known Cat Stevens album finds artist at his most personal, intimate and engaging, with a stronger production than normal which really suits this thoughtful album."

Used & New from: �7.90

Walls and Bridges

13. Walls and Bridges by John Lennon

The list author says:
	"Walls keep you in; bridges take you out. A typically schizophrenic album from lennon's 'lost weekend', this CD is more fun than 'Lennon/Plastic Ono Band' but still contains plenty of home truths."

Breakeaway

14. Breakeaway by Art Garfunkel

The list author says:
	"Art's rockiest record, with a welcome jaggedness to off-set those typically perfect orchestral ballads that show Art's golden voice at its very best."

�11.99 Used & New from: �8.98

Venus And Mars

15. Venus And Mars by Paul McCartney

The list author says:
	"On which Macca spreads his 'Wings' into a typically eclectic, almost proggish album about love, war and the universe. Another example of just how creative and musical Paul is."

Stills / Illegal Stills / Thoroughfare Gap

16. Stills / Illegal Stills / Thoroughfare Gap by Stephen Stills

The list author says:
	"'Stills', a neglected effort by the CSN guitarist, portrays Stills as contented family man, with an album's worth of songs about his new-found maturity in middle age to savour."

Tonight's The Night

17. Tonight's The Night by Neil Young

The list author says:
	"A bleak collection of half-baked songs played by a bunch of drunken musicians, this should be a mess! Instead this wake for departed friends has so much soul and commitment it's hard not to applaud."

�5.80 Used & New from: �1.57

Wind On The Water

18. Wind On The Water by David Crosby

The list author says:
	"One of the happiest of all CSNY records, full of catchy choruses, lively riffs, gorgeous harmonies and large dollops of summery sun-shiney pop."

The Who By Numbers

19. The Who By Numbers by The Who

The list author says:
	"An inspired and inventive Pete Townshend tells us how uninspired and old he feels on this voyeuristic album celebrating long dark nights of the soul. Most of the tunes are drop-dead gorgeous."

Csn

20. Csn by Crosby Stills Nash & Young

The list author says:
	"I first heard this album aged 10 - neither me or my record collection have ever been the same again. All 3 men are on top form and the ghostly harmonies are guaranteed to send a shiver down your spine"

London Town +2

21. London Town +2 by Wings

The list author says:
	"On which Wings fit their latest album round their holidays, replacing the cold drab studio with summer sunshine. Perhaps the most complete +eclectic McCartney album, with Denny Laine on good form."

Who Are You

22. Who Are You by The Who

The list author says:
	"As the title suggests, this last album with Keith Moon is something of an identity statement, with the Who re-energised by punk and looking to take back their rock crown."

Bloody Tourists

23. Bloody Tourists by 10cc

The list author says:
	"Concept album loosely based around travelling has all the wit, energy and downright bonkers ideas earlier 10cc albums, but also a weight and honesty that brings out the best of the writers."

George Harrison

24. George Harrison by George Harrison

The list author says:
	"In which George finds happiness and is finally at peace with himself and his legacy, with an album tailor-made for summer picnics and carefree days on the lawn."

M.I.U. Album/L.A. (Light Album)

25. M.I.U. Album/L.A. (Light Album) by The Beach Boys

The list author says:
	"'L.A.Light' is an amazing last-gasp of inspiration from a band nearing the end of the road. Comfortingly traditional, even with a much-talked-about 11-min disco opus on side 2."

Used & New from: �24.99
