You beat me to that one, Andrew.  Just about to post it . . .

Yes, I think we’ve established that 1972 was an excellent year to be a music lover !!

I was only 11 so did not reap the benefit at the time !!

Slade and T Rex were top of the pops in ‘72 but this one I particularly remember singing along in the playground !

[Tippaporn]

One more . . . one of my favourite Fleetwood Mac LPs post Peter Green, Bare Trees, released in '72.  The beautiful Sentimental Lady.

Two from a Scottish legend; one original, the second one of the best covers ever.
