1970 - Q1 Albums

1970 was a great year in music, and given that it was 50 years ago, I'm planning on doing spotlights all along.  Hopefully my reality will keep up with my plans.

Today (3/7/2020) is the 1st Saturday of the last month of the 1st quarter of the year.  (got that?).  So, I figured to look at albums released during that span (1st quarter) of 1970.  Quite a few notables:

• Bridge Over Troubled Water - Simon and Garfunkel: Released January, 1970.  8M+ units in USA, #51 on Rolling Stone's 2003 list of 500 Greatest Albums Of All Time.
• Bitches Brew - Miles Davis:  Released March 1970.  1M+ units in USA. #51 on Rolling Stone's 2003 list of 500 Greatest Albums Of All Time.
• Déjà Vu - Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young: Released March 1970.  8M+ units in USA, #148 on Rolling Stone's 2003 list of 500 Greatest Albums Of All Time.
• Moondance - Van Morrison:  Released January 1970.  3M+ units in USA, #65 on Rolling Stone's 2003 list of 500 Greatest Albums Of All Time.
• Sweet Baby James - James Taylor:  Released February 1970.  3M+ units in USA, #104 on Rolling Stone's 2003 list of 500 Greatest Albums Of All Time.
• Morrison Hotel - The Doors:  Released February 1970.  1M+ units in USA.  The penultimate studio album by the Doors (with Jim Morrison)

Probably not a surprise, but I do have all of those albums.  A few other albums released this quarter (that quarter?) that I own:  Argent-Argent, Mountain-Climbing, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band-Uncle Charlie

*  Note:  Black Sabbath's first album was released in February, but only in UK.  Since I'm in USA, I'll had this one for Q@, since the US release was June 1970
