The Cream- Heavy Cream - April 27.

 

The only one I'm aware of is The Band's debut "Music From Big Pink" released July 1st, 1968.

 

Where did you get your info? I gotta check it out!

 

My birthday is in December. Not a good date for a record release. There was a famous Tangerine Dream concert on my birthday though.

 

As I recall, it was from Dr.rock

Home - DrRock.com

 

Thanks for the resource!

 

According to that, a few good albums came out on my birthday, of which Badfinger's Straight Up is my personal favorite while the most widely recognized classic is probably Horses by Patti Smith.

1977 ● Thin Lizzy —— Bad Reputation ► Hard Rock
1980 ● Dead Kennedys —— Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables ► Punk-Rock
1997 ● Genesis —— Calling All Stations ► Prog Rock

 

Have to assume that date was chosen for Canada Day.

 

Last one I remember was Rush's Clockwork Angels in 2012. Downloaded it that morning and listened to it all day.

 

Man oh man. February 2nd was not a day for album releases!

Going back to 1965, at least on Wikipedia- I found a few released one February 1st….not so many on 2/2
2-1 the day before my birthday
1971 Sweet Baby James
1972 Harvest
Something/Anything
1973 Tyranny and Mutation
Billion Dollar Babies
1974 What Were Once Vises…


And finally…..in 1976 2/1 dries up and my birthday starts getting
some respect.

2/2 My birthday
GImme Back My Bullets
1982 Killers/Iron Maiden
1986 Different Light/Bangles
1988 I’m Your Man
2004 Scissor Sisters self titled.

I gave up after 2004.

 

Killers is pretty sweet, but it was released in '81.

 

I choose to believe that they were just psyched for my 4th birthday.

 

June 8th:

1984: Siouxsie and the Banshees - Hyaena
1992: Faith No More - Angel Dust (my favorite LP of all time!) and Spectrum's "Soul Kiss"

 

June 16: Radiohead - OK Computer

That was one of the most significant, there seems to be a lot of compilations released on my birthday for some reason.

 

That's interesting. I was just listening to the MFSL version of that album earlier.

 

Is that the one where they removed some of the murk from the mix?

 

Ones that speak to me:
-Another Side of Bob Dylan
-Revolver (US)
-De La Soul - Art Official Intelligence: Mosaic Thump
-Straight Outta Compton

Also Abbey Road album photo was taken on my birthday

 

They took out a lot of compression, and it does sound a lot nicer as a result. The EQ is clearer too. Almost like a different album.

 

Here are a few:
Nick Drake - Pink Moon
Alice Cooper - Billion Dollar Babies
Dr. John - In The Right Place
Peter Gabriel - Peter Gabriel (Car)
Midnight Oil - Blue Sky Mining
