I wasn’t buying music in the 1970’s but I was listening intently at the variety of styles, knowing as all music lovers do, the tracks that ‘hit the spot’. They were committed to memory, they were in their own kind of way, ‘first loves’. I find it interesting in compiling these mixes of my early tastes, that so much of it provides a blueprint for the genres I would grow to love. Even the playlists I compile in these current 21st century years are echoes and reflections that have their roots in the formative decades between the 70’s and 80’s.
