RINGS A BELL!
Reading Jerry Clark’s letter about using lockdown to go through your music collection [Prog 118], I recently rediscovered an artist that I had ignored for far too long.
Like most people I had Mike Oldfield’s Tubular Bells on LP but didn’t get into the following releases. After lockdown began I started to investigate artists noted in Prog that I had little knowledge of. Mike Oldfield was certainly missing from my collection and what a wonderful journey it’s been over the last year or so collecting the back catalogue.
I also rediscovered Todd Rundgren, Supertramp and ELP. All albums I had enjoyed but had not listened to for far too long. It’s almost the same feeling listening to these again as it was the first ever time.
