A two hour mix of some of my fave music, TV, adverts and film samples from 1977. This is the final 70’s mix in the series and was one of the hardest to do, (my favourite one to do was 1972 if your curious). It’s not meant as any definitive overview of the year, I couldn’t fit in ELO, Donna Summer, X-Ray Spex etc, but is pretty much what I was listening to when I was 15. I was probably the only kid I knew who raved about Aja and NMTB at the same time in my school, haha.
I hope you dig it anyway!

absolutely, I will be returning to all the years at some point as I think there are TOO many omissions. The 1972 mix was all soul, funk, R&B etc and so couldn’t even squeeze any Roxy in there!
