Today in 1975, Peter Frampton’s breakthrough “Frampton Comes Alive” hit stores. One of the top selling records of the decade, the double live album would hit #1 on the charts for 10 weeks.
Also in 1975, Pink Floyd started recording the “Wish You Were Here” album at Abbey Road studios. By coincidence, that was also their former frontman Syd Barrett’s 29th birthday.
And born today in 1953, the late Malcolm Young, co-founder and rhythm guitarist of AC/DC, who passed away in 2017.
