November 1976 - Album Releases

 On the 1st Thursday of October 2026, here's a look back at albums released 50 years ago this month.  Maybe I'll make it an ongoing series.  My source is The Internet.  Ah, November 1976...  Fall semester of my sophomore year of high school.  Just a few months after I got my driver's license.  Good times.
