For tonight's edition of "Seasons Of Change", to paraphrase the title of a very early Pink Floyd song, we just once more...

SET THE CONTROLS FOR: 1971

 ...exactly 50 years ago, encountering the usual diverse serving of prog rock and anything else that fits from Australia and overseas, or at least as much as can fit into 2 hours. Amidst some classics and oddities from a crowded few months of releases at the end of 1971, this includes classic Australian music from the wondrously named Chook, Company Caine, Flake, Melissa, Tamam Shud and The Wild Cherries. In particular featuring selections from the Spectrum album Milesago which was a milestone release here in Australia - just the second "popular double album ever released in this country (the first was Doug Ashdown's Age of Mouse in 1970)".
