Party Bands a-c

Pink Floyd - The Dark Side Of The Moon (1973) - party band favourite

Acid blues guitar solos. Lyrics that tackle woe and warmongering. A spacey party band title. The Floyd's zeitgeisty opus, however, had mundane beginnings. Sprinkled with studio fairy dust ­gospel vocals, explosive solos, sound effects-Eclipse became Dark Side of the Moon. A Stateside million-seller on the strength of the band's live reputation, the album went interstellar when parent company Capitol turned "Money" into a rare Floyd hit.

Opened out, the gatefold cover displays a prism endlessly refracting a beam of light.

Bob Marley And The Wailers - Catch A Fire

Recognizing a golden opportunity, the Jamaican-born Blackwell fronted Marley and his band, The Wailers, $6,000 to fly home to Jamaica and record an album. Not all party bands cup of tea. Upon receiving the master tapes, Blackwell recruited American session men, overdubbed some catchy rock guitar and keyboard licks, and commissioned a cool Zippo-shaped record jacket. The album generated rave reviews and set the stage for reggae's international ascent.

Marvin Gaye - Let's Get It On (1973)

This is probably the only Motown album to feature a credit for the world-famous modernist poet T.S. Eliot. The author of The Wasteland, once said: "Birth and copulation and death, that's all the facts when you get to brass tacks"; a quote that adorns the gatefold sleeve to this seminal album.

The album's title track (which became a No.1 smash and on some party bands lists) was a fairly obvious way of nailing his colors to the mast.The track, with its musical and lyrical climaxes, became the benchmark of bedroom music until, perhaps, Gaye himself released "Sexual Healing"in 1982."

David Bowie - Aladdin Sane

The ultimate rock chameleon and party band hero did not change colours between 1972's groundbreaking Ziggy Stardust ... and 1973's Aladdin Sane (his breakthrough effort in America). As with Ziggy, guitarist Mick Ronson is as much of a star as Bowie. Producer Ken Scott, who engineered The Beatles' Magical Mystery Tour and White Album, moves from sleek sophistication on the title track, to raunchy rock with "Cracked Actor."

Mike Garson's distinctive keyboard flurries decorate the spine-tingling closer "Lady Grinning Soul," while Bowie's melodramatic reading of "Time" is the album's one true anthem.

The above quotes give some idea of the genre at the time
