1001 Albums Summary

A very historical album that I felt was a lot faster when I first listened to it back in the late 70's. The brothers with the eldest(?) Marky, number one son(?) DeeDee, big brother(?) Johnny, and the oldest(?) Joey, make up the quartet. They brought us the debut album of original hits and punk rock anthems. A record that is a total reflection of my past. Love it.

Blackmore's guitar in the opening track reminds me of the evolution of free style skateboarding. Very plain compared to what is being done today. The famous track are overshadowed today by "Pictures of Home" and "Never Before". Blackmore takes a backseat to John Lord's keyboards on every track.
