RECORD COLLECTING MONTHLY MIX 016: Pub Rock 70's

LISTEN HERE Beer Hard Attack! Step into the gritty, no-frills world of 1970s British pub rock with this month’s, Record Collecting – Monthly Mix , inspired by the deep dives of Record Collector magazine. This edition pays tribute to the raw, back-to-basics sound that laid the groundwork for punk and revitalised British rock in the era of excess. Featuring recordings made famous in the pubs and clubs where bands like Dr. Feelgood, Brinsley Schwarz, and Ducks Deluxe cut their teeth, we deliver a punchy mix of rhythm & blues, rock ’n’ roll, and unpolished energy.

Whether you're a long-time fan or just discovering the genre, this mix invites you to turn it up and rediscover the spirit of pub rock, one pint at a time.   1.
