The South African Rock Encyclopedia > Vagabond’s World > Rock Lists > 30 Spine-Chillers [Music Scene 75 Annual]
In 1975 I bought the “Music Scene 75 Annual”, which I still have, and in it was a list compiled by John Cornelius of some of his favourite tunes. He listed them alphabetically, however I present them here in chronological order.
In information-starved South Africa in the ’70s this book was a treasure trove, and provided a basis for my record collecting.
