Record of the Year Revisited: 1974

Original Record of the Year: Act One - Tom The Peeper

I had John Peel to thank for introducing me to my 1974 pick thanks to its inclusion on his Fabriclive mix. I have to say 1974 is a year where my knowledge isn't particularly great for whatever reason.

It's not that bad though and I did see several decent records on the list. The question was whether they were good enough to take the crown.

The answer is no. I do think "Tom The Peeper" is possibly the weakest choice for the 70s which made me think there was something better out there but I'm not sure there is.

UK Number 40s: Act One - Tom The Peeper (1974)

This record was my record of the year for 1974, you can read what I wrote about it here.

What else can I add that I haven't already said?

Well they were basically a group of session musicians who had several records around the mid-70s including a self titled album. This was the only UK Top 40 hit for them.
