Currently listening to lots of Magma. And the 'Studio Zünd' 12CD box set is a treasure trove. Such a unique band lead by the enigmatic #ChristianVander 🥁 I have seen them live three times and it's an experience to behold the power they create #ZeuhlMusic #nowplaying #MagmaBand #CDBoxset #ProgRock

Classic live double album by Kraan. Recorded in Berlin 1974. I bought this in a sale in Threshold records Oxford in 1976 for £2.50. Knew nothing of them but it looked good. I was blown away by the bass playing of #HelmutHattler #KraanBand #nowplaying #DailyVinyl #vinylcommunity #VinylCollector

Just noted in my 1975 diary that I was denied seeing Black Sabbath on tour for the first time but it was cancelled. I think it was going to be Plymouth or may have been Bristol.. whatever I missed it 🙁 and didn't see them until 1978 on the Never Day Die tour with Van Halen supporting 🎸👍
