Sweet Fanny Adams: Remastered

Kimono My House
4.  Kimono My House by Sparks

Rampant
5.  Rampant by Nazareth

Used & New from: £9.99
4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (6 customer reviews)

Sheer Heart Attack
6.  Sheer Heart Attack by Queen

7.  Country Life by Roxy Music

3.9 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (19 customer reviews) | 1 customer discussion

Johnny The Fox
8.  Johnny The Fox by Thin Lizzy

4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (29 customer reviews)

Midnight Cafe
10.  Midnight Cafe by Smokie
The list author says:
  "All the Smokie albums are worth checking out.  A cross between The Hollies and The Eagles.  Chris Norman has the most amazing rock vocals ever (and yet Smokie were always classed as pop?!!)  Strange."
Used & New from: £9.99
4.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (1 customer review)

Desolation Angels
11.  Desolation Angels by Bad Company
The list author says:

3.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (6 customer reviews)

Kingdom of Madness
12.  Kingdom of Madness by Magnum

Technical Ecstasy

Private Eyes
14.  Private Eyes by Tommy Bolin

Used & New from: £4.10
4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (3 customer reviews)

Force It
15.  Force It by UFO
The list author says:

Sunburst Finish
16.  Sunburst Finish by Be Bop Deluxe
The list author says:
  "As fine-an-album as you'll ever get from a 70's band.  Bill Nelson was a great guitarist and songwriter but spoiled it all for me by farting around with synth music in the 80's.  Shame."
£5.67   Used & New from: £3.49
4.9 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (21 customer reviews)

Lifeblood
17.  Lifeblood by Stretch
The list author says:
  "This and You Can't Beat Your Brain For Entertainment are essential 70's rock albums.  Most people remember Why Did You Do It, their only hit.  I expect Fleetwood Mac do?"
£9.11   Used & New from: £5.74

Rumours
18.  Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
The list author says:
  "Well as I just mentioned them .... Rumours and the preceeding album "Fleetwood Mac" ... well the 70's wouldn't have been the same without them."
£4.99   Used & New from: £1.50
4.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (103 customer reviews) | 2 customer discussions

If I Weren' So Romantic I'd Shoot You/Face to Face
19.  If I Weren' So Romantic I'd Shoot You/Face to Face by Rick Derringer
The list author says:
  "If I Weren't So Romantic ... is the title I recommend but I could only find it in this coupling.  Produced by Mike Chapman it is Pop/Rock at it's finest."
£22.33

Impeckable
20.  Impeckable by Budgie
The list author says:
  "Brilliant Welsh Rockers.  This 3 piece never made it huge but were always around.  This had the songs and the production in my opinion."
Used & New from: £23.99

Young Men Gone West / Book Early
21.  Young Men Gone West / Book Early by City Boy
The list author says:
  "Book Early is the one to listen to.  Having said that I see it's not available at present.  Produced by Mutt Lang  it's a chunk-a-rama affair."
Used & New from: £19.95

Leftoverture
22.  Leftoverture by Kansas

Malice in Wonderland
24.  Malice in Wonderland by Paice Ashton Lord

How Dare You
