Wings: "Over America"

Released in 1976,

this was a very successful recording for Wings.

It is a great collection of tracks,

as live recordings go;

but honestly,

I am so

stunned by the

album art,

the music is almost

secondary.

Almost.

Michael Jackson: "Thriller"

Released in 1982,

this was Michael Jackson's sixth (6th) studio LP.

This is one of the most successful albums of all time,

most awarded, most discussed, most listened to.

The ground-breaking video for the title song

came early in the history of full-production "music videos,"

and it remains among the most stunningly brilliant videos ever produced.

Wings: "Venus and Mars"

Released in 1975,

this was Wings' fourth (4th) studio LP;

a relatively successful follow-up to their

"Band on the Run" LP.

Includes the hit

"Listen to What the Man Said"

This is recording during which

Joe English joined Wings

(after Geoff Britton left).

The Beatles: "Abbey Road"

Released in 1969,

this was The Beatles' eleventh (11th) studio LP.

Technically, it is their last studio LP

because although "Let It Be" was released several months later

in 1970

that LP was a compilation of previously recorded material.
