^ I hear that that Allman kid did some great work on this one R&B record.

Don't know who that "Clapton" guy was. Wasn't he in Saviour Machine?

Head East's Flat as a Pancake, a good ol' rock album from 1974.
 
And, of course, the greatest one-hit wonders of all-time:
 
 
Layla and other Assorted Love Songs. By some guys named Eric Clapton and Duane Allman.LOL

Well the album does start off with a man going to the toilet.

I love this site, thanks!  I wasn't familiar with many of those titles! 

My own favorite was "Shakti" with John McLaughlin.  He only had one studio release with this group.

Hands released other albums besides their self-titled debut, two of which were released in the 2000's.  Strangelet (featuring Herd of Instinct/Spoke of Shadows Warr guitarist, Mark Cook) dates back from 2008, and it is one hell of a great album.

Good album. I knew Mike from the bar band scene in Detroit. He had more than one album, by the way. Unfortunately, most are forgettable.

Hi,
 
Honestly, because of my proximity to Space Pirate Radio and Guy Guden, the 70's got pretty well covered and visited. I don't think that there were a lot of things that we "missed", although there were things that I did not buy until 30 years later, and Khan is a perfect example.
 
But all in all, I would say that there were not a whole lot of one album wonders for me!
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!
