19 Nov 2012: it's... 1978

[urth]

I'll give an HM to Talking Heads.

Me too, tho' this set is in desperate need of a rarity or 3.

Neil isn't a rarity per se, but sounding very good to me.

Agreed, haven't heard this in longer than I care to admit. Nicolette Larson sounding very Emmylou-esque on harmony. BOS2.

Oh, and BOS1 to the Peter Gabriel tune.

holy crap, where's Geoff??  Methinks "Rivers of Babylon" is a serious rarity if not a bustout. Too bad Boney M are one of the worst bands in history.  WOS from me.

I was trying to determine if that was Emmylou or not. I was going with NOT, but I didn't have an alternate name. Thanks for that!

Hahaha! I've certainly never heard this before. The Melodians original (?) is much better.

Does anybody remember Zion? (apologies to Robert Plant)

BOS Boney M for their sledgehammerness.

just curious... was there a radio station near you that actually played that song at the time?  Other then the few weeks it spent on Casey Kasem's chart, it never got any love on the NYC airwaves.

Well, I was only eight at the time. I heard it alot when I was overseas in my mid-twenties. Haven't heard it in the states ever.

And, by the way, the price for a dozen eggs was 48 cents
