And the award for most surprising album listed as #1 goes to... somebody else I suppose! Of course it's my #1, for crying out loud. Also including my favourite
TVU and
Scott Walker albums.
Zappa,
Wolfgang and
Sun Ra holding it down. Fantastic year again, and one I really need to delve into a little more.
Also, one thing I have to atone for, in my 1968 list I put the C.A. Quintet album in. I am going to assume this came about because of a copy and paste error. Therefore I am replacing it with God Bless the Red Krayola and All Who Sail With It by the Red Krayola. My comments in that list still stand, vastly under appreciated release.
