Its funny, i never remember hearing Albatross in 1968 but i remember another instrumental Paul Mauriat's Love Is Blue on the radio from that time. I probably didn't hear Albatross to the early to mid 70's but loved it once i heard it.

Probably heard Albatross at around the same time as me or just a bit before My oldest Brother had it and I was very young maybe 6 or 7. I was blown away by it and have loved it ever since. Hadn’t heard it for a long time till today when Tusk was mentioned which was my other favourite ftom Fleetwood Mac as a very young kid Loved the build up in that song

It seemed strange that’s for sure. But as Neil said, when Fleetwood Mac asks you to join the band, how can you say no? My brother in law and his wife saw them when they came to Sydney too. Got one up on me!

I remember looking up an appearance they did on Ellen but I just didn't watch it all through..I just love them separately..

I know UB40 did a more famous cover version but here’s Neil Diamond’s original.

Red, Red Wine

Another I loved as a toddler...which is quite strange when you think about it..imagine a 3 year old going around the house singing about wine...we had that on vinyl too..well I was an unexpected baby after the older sisters so they didn't have any nursery rhyme albums at home like I said in the SRV thread. I noticed someone had posted Chuck Berry in there too..we had him on vinyl also. Great memories in these threads. I don't have any more reggae on my list to add as I binge posted them (yes it is a thing ) all in one go for the week ahead..so I'll just enjoy everyone else's contributions. I have lots for the other music threads so will keep them going too.. Thanks for sharing everyone. Reggae music is good for the soul..

As a cricket fan I’ve always had a soft spot for this little song.

I was trying to think reggae yesterday, and all I could come up with was dreadlock holiday................but Mighty beat me to it.
I'm afraid I've got nothing.

[redwhiteblue]

It was your turn so I quoted you so we can all read it.
I'm not real good with reggae, so I'll mainly rely on you to educate me.

I wanna know if this passes as reggae????
Cos I likes it.

Thanks for that Eddie and I appreciated you keeping me in the loop. I've taken off the ignore function for the music threads only. That way I'm not posting the same songs already posted previously as that would just be annoying for everyone concerned. Plus for myself, I can be educated a bit more and expand my musical knowledge from seeing what music everyone is contributing. Even Paddo has posted some good stuff in my Stevie Ray Vaughan/guitarist threads. I do love Chuck Berry..another we had on vinyl when I was little.

I posted all of mine last night too..I did it all in one go as I get busy with work during the week sometimes so did enough to last us until Friday night when we do the change over of genre.

I think we can all agree that it's Horrie Hasting's turn as from Friday night?

I have my idea up my sleeve for when it's my turn again..but I'm happy to wait for a few more weeks yet...
