No.1456 01/09/2020

The debut album by American soul musician Curtis Mayfield, called Curtis, celebrates a 50th anniversary this month! A political and social commentary the LP includes (Don’t Worry) If There’s a Hell Below, We’re All Going to Go and Move On Up. Top draw 70’s soul.

No.1092 01/09/2019

The self-titled debut album by Bread is 50 years old this month! The Los Angeles band are often disparaged, especially later in their career, for good reason. But I argue their debut LP is decent. Includes the US Number One Single Make It With You.

No.726 01/09/2018

The debut eponymous album from the indie-dance act Friendly Fires is 10 years old today! The album was short-listed for the Mercury Prize of 2009, and was mostly self-produced. The standout tracks for me are In The Hospital and Lovesick. friendlyfires.co.uk
