The Mojo Collection: The Ultimate Music Companion

Bobby Charles - Bobby Charles (1972)

Louisiana's own - knew about his connection with the Band (he was at The Last Waltz concert and several members appear on this album) but didn't realized that years before this album, he wrote songs like "Walking to New Orleans" (Fats Domino), "See You Later Alligator" (Bill Haley)

Cat Stevens - Greatest Hits

Personally not sure if they had to go with the greatest hits comp here as both Teaser... and Tea for the Tillerman stand on their own as great albums, but good music in any case

 

[Zeeba Neighba]

Various Artists - The Philly Sound: Kenny Gamble, Leon Huff & The Story of Brotherly Love (1966-1977)

 

[Zeeba Neighba]

Can - Ege Bamyasi (1972)

 

[Zeeba Neighba]

Lou Reed - Transformer (1972)

Glad to see this here especially given only one Velvet Underground album (I would have also put their 1969 self titled album on the list - though wouldn't argue if Loaded was included too)

Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - Will the Circle Be Unbroken (1972)

Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band - Clear Spot (1972)

 

[Zeeba Neighba]

Focus - Focus 3 (1972)

First listen:
Focus? The Dutch yodeling group? Really enjoyed this - some great prog rock instrumentals, some very beautiful
I actually get a kick out of "Hocus Pocus" which did indeed chart in 1972 but it's not here. Was released earlier and the US single that charted was a re-release
