Definitely weather for thinner tops and skirts here as I'm melting in the heat, windows wide open with a glass of milk at my side.
Seeing it was the bank holiday I played a double lp I haven't touched in good few years although the contents are well known to me, going back to my early childhood and the records I heard on the radio.
They were the records, over two paws worth issued by the Utah, United States family group The Osmonds in their various permutations, whole group, solo and duos and this Greatest Hits set from 1977 has them all from One Bad Apple sounding more like the Jackson Five, the hard rock Crazy Horses and the perfect timeless pop of Love Me For a Reason a favourite from '74.
It also captured Jimmy's take on the music hall composition Long Haired Lover from Liverpool but for me more critically Marie Osmonds Paper Roses and Morningside of the Mountain, highlight her gifts in country music which I was rather exposed to and Donny's solo recordings like The Twelve of Never and Puppy Love.
It came well packaged with lots of pictures and even more on the paper inner sleeves so it was certainly well put together in the way some of these packages aren't.
It got a clean up and played for the memories, a useful appendage to the 1972,3 and 4 Now Yearbook Records.
