Episode 184: Some Of The Vinyl Goodies From 1969

May 25, 2026 Linda Mills

Hello and welcome! It’s another Tales Vinyl Tells, an excursion into the great album cuts of our vinyl records of the 60s & 70s. Today we’re tuned into some of the 1969 releases that rocked and changed the consciousness of the world. Tommy, the Who’s Rock Opera came out in 69. So did the Stones’ Let It Bleed, Santana’s first, The Stooges debuted with Iggy Pop and the first two Zeppelin LPs came out in that year. So did Abbey Road. And “The Band” LP, with Cripple Creek and The night they drove old dixie down. Yeh! It was a great musical year, 1969. I’m Brian Hallgren.
