Artist - Mungo Jerry Album - Naked From The
Heart Genre- glam rock Year- 2007 format-eac/ape
Quote
Mungo Jerry is one of rock's great
one-hit successes. Outside of England, they're known for exactly one
song, but that song, "In the Summertime," is a seasonal anthem known by
listeners who weren't even born when it was released. Mungo Jerry was a
solid blues outfit as well -- in fact, one suspects they were the kind
of blues band that purists Alexis Korner and Cyril Davies would have
loved, had they ever intersected -- and knew how to get the most out of
their jug band sound, which has helped them survive for three decades.

Artist - Status Quo Album - Ma Kelly's Greasy Spoon Genre-
rock Year- 1970 format-eac/ape
Quote
Woe betide the psychedelic groover who picked up the third album
by Status Quo, dreaming of further picturesque matchstick messages! A
mere three hits in a long three years had completely exhausted the
bandmembers' patience with the whimsy of yore, and their ears had long
since turned in other directions. It was the age, after all, of Canned
Heat's relentless boogie and Black Sabbath's blistered blues, and when
the Quo's first new single of 1970, the lazy throb of "Down the
Dustpipe," proved that the record-buying public wasn't averse

Genre: Glam rock

Slade may have never truly caught on with
American audiences (often narrow-mindedly deemed "too
British-sounding"), but the group became a sensation in their homeland
with their anthemic brand of glam rock in the early '70s, as they scored
a staggering 11 Top Five hits in a four-year span from 1971 to 1974
(five of which topped the charts). Comprised of singer/guitarist Noddy
Holder (born Neville Holder, June 15, 1946 in Walsall, West Midlands,
England), guitarist Dave Hill (born April 4, 1946, in Fle

Echoes In The Night was the album for all
those fans who had been waiting eight years for a Procol Harum reunion.
In addition to Gary Brooker's singing and keyboard work, it featured
Procol organist Matthew Fisher, lyricist Keith Reid, and drummer B.J.
Wilson. They didn't appear on every track, but when they got together,
notably on the title song (which also featured Eric Clapton), "Saw The
Fire," and especially the ambitious "Ghost T

The first Puhdys album, released in early
1974, was very successful, and remains a well-regarded album among the
band's fans, despite being in part derivative of western artists; this
was due in part to the political impossibility of using the original
songs in Paul and Paula, and director Carow's desire for close
German-language equivalents. It compiled the band's singles up to that
point, including three of the four songs from the film ("Geh zu ihr," Go
To Her, based on Slade's "Look Wot You Dun "; "Wenn
