Classic Albums
From the Beatles’ ‘White Album’ in 1968 to Elton John’s Goodbye Yellow Brick Road in 1973, this eclectic group of records had a huge influence on the prevailing pop culture of the late 1960s and early 1970s – and making the Top 40 and receiving a gold record were not the only measures of success.
