The Mission / Mission U.K., Children, 1988 on Mercury

Another band with a different name in the US—apparently 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 […]

Look what turns 50 today â€Ś

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

One can only imagine The Zepp in their prime in that setting. #ledzeppelin #70srock #rock #rockmusic #robertplant #jimmypage #johnpauljones #johnbonham #music #musicsky #musiciansky
