BBC - When Albums Ruled the World [MP4-AAC](oan)
 
http://nimga.com/f/HfgPu.png

Between the mid 1960s and the late 1970s, the long-playing record and the
albums that graced its grooves changed popular music for ever. For the
first time, musicians could escape the confines of the three-minute pop
single and express themselves as never before across the expanded artistic
canvas of the album. The LP allowed popular music become an art form - from
the glorious artwork adorning gatefold sleeves, to the ideas and concepts
that bound the songs together, to the unforgettable music itself.

Built on stratospheric sales of albums, these were the years when the
music industry exploded to become bigger than Hollywood. From pop to rock,
from country to soul, from jazz to punk, all of music embraced what
'the album' could offer. But with the collapse of vinyl sales at the end
of the 70s and the arrival of new technologies and formats, the golden era
of the album couldn't last forever.

With contributions from Roger Taylor, Ray Manzarek, Noel Gallagher, Guy
Garvey, Nile Rodgers, Grace Slick, Mike Oldfield, Slash and a host of
others, this is the story of When Albums Ruled the World

Thank you. Cheers.
"But with the collapse of vinyl sales at the end
of the 70s"?

The CD did not come out in large numbers until 1985. I was a full time DJ in the 1970's and by the end of 1979 not one single person owned a CD player as they had not been developed by then. I think you intended to say by the end of the 80's.
Even by the end of the 1980's DJ's may of dropped Albums for CD formats but the Single still had its place as CD Singles did not really take off until the mid 1990's, so there you go.

International Music Services, rockin' the Free World since 1967
I was born in 1949. What really annoys me about modern TV is the amount of wrong information broadcast about an era I grew up in and remember very well. IF TV do History, the least they could do is get there facts correct. I never missed the Album, there bulk and ease of which they could be warped in the heat of a Disco Van, or destroyed by a spring loaded dance floor or heavy DJ cue session.

I never missed the miss cue, or the magnetic cartridge feedback or needle foldover in the middle of a show or the scratches and other nasties which was record playback then. Long live digital music.
I still have my first CD player. I need to get it out to see if it still works.
