"Melodius" Elton John music--no doubt recorded at his former Music Publishing Company's (Dick James Music) studio...

Look for A&M to concentrate on more of its British acts in the up-coming Album's of the Week, such as more by Fairport Convention, The Strawbs, and Spooky Tooth, as well as the debut-albums of Joan Armatrading, Status Quo and Gallagher & Lyle... (who's "Breakaway" was more successful on the U.S. charts, in a version covered by Art Garfunkel...)

My discarded Hookfoot albums, I have finally donated to the Charity Drive... (as nobody seemed to take me up on my "free" offer; they were water-damaged, anyway, along with a Free FIRE AND WATER, I got [in the same condition] along with 'em...)
