Many of the resulting LPs are now considered to be important cultural reference points - is there anyone who hasn't heard of Tubular Bells? In 1977 Virgin signed the Sex Pistols. A horde of punk and new wave bands followed, such as XTC, Magazine, The Ruts and - as the Sex Pistols imploded - PIL. Following this, the iconic Front Line label was responsible for some of the best reggae ever heard, from artists such as U-Roy, Tapper Zukie, I-Roy, Keith Hudson, The Gladiators, Culture and the Twinkle Brothers. This book covers the 'classic' years and is an absolute must for anyone with half an ear open - let's face it, during the 1970s Virgin defined the nation's - if not the world's - musical taste. All known releases on Virgin and related labels are documented here - from Tubular Bells to numerous forgotten gems that deserve much greater recognition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 138\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.3 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 24, 2013\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47361233453305,"sku":"9781909953000","price":31.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/VUpuN0RZTmRNb0hzcHpSWDUzcFpFdz09_0bbf04ea-2ace-43c0-b818-ca56febdcaa3.webp?v=1769890111","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/the-virgin-discography-the-1970s-paperback-2","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
