RhoDeo 1136 Goldy Rhox 39

Hello, today the 39th post of GoldyRhox, classic pop rock, in the darklight a group that made a big unsuspected splash upon arrival on the scene spring 69 (fruitful times). They really produced an amazing classic from the word go, enjoyable to this date and danceable must have been amazing back in the day. It's a double album so no flac version this time.

Most of the albums i 'll post made many millions for the music industry and a lot of what i intend to post still gets repackaged and remastered decades later, squeezing the last drop of profit out of bands that for the most part have ceased to exist long ago, although sometimes they get lured out of the mothballs to do a big bucks gig or tour. Now i'm not as naive to post this kinda music for all to see and have deleted, these will be a black box posts, i'm sorry for those on limited bandwidth but for most of you a gamble will get you a quality rip don't like it, deleting is just 2 clicks...That said i will try to accommodate somewhat and produce some cryptic info on the artist and or album.

Upon the band's 1967 inception, they were initially called "The Missing Links". Then changed its name to "The Big Thing" (or Sound whenevr the sexpolice was out to save the innocents from their dirty mind.before adopting the moniker they are known for, that said they had to cut the big thing short as smallminded officials from the windy city objected to the inclusion of Authority..much disputed in the late sixties remember ? or would that be un-american. They had a steady stream of hits throughout the 1970s and 1980s. Second only to The Beach Boys in terms of Billboard singles and albums chart success among American bands, todays band is one of the longest running and most successful pop/rock and roll groups

Todays remastered mystery album was released in April 1969, it proved to be an immediate hit, reaching #17 in the US and #9 in the UK. While critical reaction was also strong, the eponomously titled album initially failed to produce any hit singles, with the group seen as an album-oriented collective. However, in 1970 and 1971 it would still score 3 belated hits. Buoyed by the success of their later albums, the album stayed on the charts for a then-record 171 weeks, and was certified gold (and later platinum and double platinum). As this had been their debut album and a double one at that, their record company demanded they take a royalty cut- i sure hope they agreed on a breakeven number (likely not). Anyway one of 1001 albums you should have heard before you die..and hopefully remember in the hereafter.
