The Mission / Mission U.K., Children, 1988 on Mercury
Another band with a different name in the USâapparently there was already an R&B act out of Philadelphia called the Mission. (Note the coin/medal on the cover only has The Mission). The Mission (aka the Mission U.K.) started with two veterans from Sisters of Mercy, joined by Mick Brown from Red Lorry Yellow Lorry and Simon Hinkler from Artery (and later Pulp). Great gothic / indie rock from the late 80s, this was their sophomore album following God's Own Medicine (1986). It was produced [âŚ]https://goatless.org/2026/06/09/the-mission-mission-u-k-children-1988-on-mercury

On this day in 1973 âHouses of the Holyâ by Led Zeppelin was the #1 album in the U.K. My favourite Led Zeppelin album.

On this day 50 years ago, Led Zeppelin began a three-week run at #1 with âHouses of the Holyâ. Ted Tocks Covers is on record as saying âHouses of the Holyâ is his favourite Led Zeppelin studio albuâŚ
Look what turns 50 today âŚ
The 7th from Led Zeppelin ~ released on March 31, 1976. It's an album created at a difficult time -- during Robert Plant's convalescence from a serious auto accident. Critics weren't too excited about it and it's the lowest selling Zepp album in the catalog. But its genius has become apparent over time. #ledzeppelin #rock #bluesrock #presence #robertplant #jimmypage #johnpauljones #johnbonham #rockmusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky #70srock
âBack To The Clubsâ
March 21, 1971 ~ Led Zeppelin made a stop at the Boat Club in Nottingham, England during their "Back To The Clubs" tour. It was -- and still is -- a rowing club and intimate music venue. One can only imagine The Zepp in their prime in that setting. #ledzeppelin #70srock #rock #rockmusic #robertplant #jimmypage #johnpauljones #johnbonham #music #musicsky #musiciansky
