AAAAHHHH the memories!!!!! The 70's were unique in so much more ways than the drab 90's

[nzoz1977]

I'm a bloke! And yes, I'd say most of you and many others were very lucky to have a great soundtrack, inspite having to go through those tricky teen years. Hmmm... I can't quite say the same about my teen years in the 1990's.

@oldredun i know, he's brilliant... great work... molly gets more recognition as a producer than Tony.. why? just coz Molly did the Real Thing in 1969 and I LIke It Both Ways in 1976 (coincidently, Tony twiddled that one too

[oldredun]

@nzoz1977 - Tony Cohen . . . ultimate knob twiddler on so many geat Oz/Nz recordings yet he receives no recognition !!! A truly brilliant set of ears !!
