 | From Elvis in Memphis by Elvis Presley
Buy new: £4.74 / Used from: £5.59 Elvis' 1969 comeback album - a perfect mix of blues, soul, gospel, country and pop. And it ends with 'In The Ghetto' too. Unfortunately, he'd never be this great again.
|
 | The Specials by Specials
Buy new: £3.98 / Used from: £5.21 The ska masters provide an outstanding debut. No 'Gangsters' but everything here clicks. The sequel 'More Specials' is just as great.
|
 | Primal Roots by Sergio Mendes
Buy new: £20.49 / Used from: £17.31 The easy listening maestro goes back to his country's roots for this little known masterpiece. Hear it once and it'll stay with you forever. Ends with glorious 15 min. workout on 'The Circle Game'.
|
 | Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones
Buy new: £11.98 / Used from: £8.99 Crap cover but awesome contents provide the Stones' farewell to the sixties. Opens with their best song and never lets up. 'Monkey Man' shows they could funk it up with the best of them, too.
|
 | Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock
Buy new: £4.56 / Used from: £3.12 Want some jazz-funk? You'll find everything you want on Hancock's masterpiece. Only 4 (long) tracks but they're all excellent, underneath one of the all-time great album covers.
|
 | Revolver by The Beatles
Buy new: £8.97 / Used from: £4.97 An obvious choice, really, but hey - it's The Beatles at their peak, breaking boundaries (and inventing psychedelia) with nary a wasted second on the whole album. Brilliantly sequenced, too.
|
 | Innervisions by Stevie Wonder
Buy new: £4.47 / Used from: £3.00 With five extraordinary 70s albums in a row - the middle one's the best with plenty of dirty funk amongst the beautiful ballads. He plays pretty much everything himself, as well. Genius.
