5 Underrated 1973 Debut LPs | Vinyl Community

Debut LPs in the 1973, as most in the early 1970s, were coming out at a clip, and not every classic was fairly assessed at the time. So many great debuts that I decided to go year by year. Here we talk about five under-recognized debuts by The Miracles, Ozark Mountain Daredevils and more...

Yes! Jackie Moore! Love that album. Very underrated. I’ve never listened to that Miracles album. Will check it out. Cheers, Craig ✌🏻

[@vinylrecordplayer]

Cheers to you, sir! 😁

Huge fan of the Ozark mountain daredevils and barnaby bye. Both great albums. Nice to hear others can recognize it.

Thanks for commenting! 😁

I really dig your vids. I'm a child of the 70s and all the music you comment about is my kinda music. I stuck around to the end to see the other video. Was that you or was that Buck Dharma from BOC on the video?

[@vinylrecordplayer]

Haha. Old times, 20lbs extra and long hair. Glad it's all in the past! 😂

[@PhilBaird1]

Great stuff once again Craig. Rare vinyl is what it's all about and it's lovely to see these. All the best...

[@vinylrecordplayer]

Cheers!😁

That Leroy Hutson album is so good. I recently got a reissue on Acid Jazz. I saw that Miracles album in a record shop recently and passed on it. Aaaarrgh!

[@vinylrecordplayer]

It's out there, and shouldn't be that expensive. I got mine for under $10. Have a good one, Andy! 😁

Great segment here - as usual. I have one question: Where did you get that totally cool Al Green t-shirt??

[@vinylrecordplayer]

I think I bought that one on eBay. 🫡

One of my favorites from 73 is Maria Muldaur's self titled debut album. Has the her hit "Midnight At The Oasis" love it or hate it (I love it). Great blend of country,jazz and old timey tunes.

[@vinylrecordplayer]

I have tried with Maria, but I'm not ready yet. I'm sure I'll get back to her one day and be like, "Man. I should have been into her earlier." As does happen. Cheers! 😁

Hey Craig Good seeing you again! Happy Easter! Trish

[@danny1959]

At the time critics commented that they were surprised that The Miracles would be releasing superior music to Smokey Robinson. “Love Machine” is a banger.

[@vinylrecordplayer]

Kinda shocked me as well! But yeah, not a bad moment on that Miracles LP. Thanks for commenting! 😁

US funk band Ripple’s self-titled debut is an underrated gem! Nice video and few to check out there. I’ve been planning on doing a video of underrated debuts my self. Liked and subbed 👍

[@vinylrecordplayer]

Hey! You definitely should do some on underrated debuts. Good fun! Looks like you've got some good action happening at your channel! I'm subbing right now. Cheers! 😁

My favorite albums from the year 1973 are Just Outside Of Town Mandrill Pain from The Ohio Players.

As time of writing, I like the fact that you have 666 subscribers ;-)

[@vinylrecordplayer]

Right? I had to screenshot that. Thanks for stopping by! 💯😁

[@brunohebert1351]

@@vinylrecordplayer it went up to 667 now... I hope you got it in time

[@brunohebert1351]

@@vinylrecordplayer actually, I just gave the Barnaby Bye a listen (yes, it's readily available for streaming) and while not my favorite type of music, it was quite enjoyable to listen to. Perfect for a Sunday morning chilling at home. Thank you. I'll keep an eye for it

[@hanswernermuller3159]

Your underrated Album by the Ozark Mountain Dare Devils has not been so underrated. Because it sold enough to become gold status. It was their best selling album. Jacky Blue, their biggest hit was not on 'The Car Over The Lake Album'. It was on 'It'll Shine When It Shines'.

[@vinylrecordplayer]

Nice to stand corrected! Thanks for watching! 🫡

NY Dolls

[@vinylrecordplayer]

Great pick! Would have been there if I had the record. Thanks for watching! 😁
