I Do nave some from that era in 1/160 on the website

Wow, haven't heard the Ohio Players in a few.

The 1975 LP "Honey" by the Ohio Players.

I saw them at Hammersmith Odeon in 1976.

Ahhhh bliss... thanks @kusojiji !

PS A little more restful than "Tourniquet" @scottmitchell74 !!!

A little more melodic.

I remember the name but cannot recall ever listening to them. As you say Martin very much of their time - a brief listen was enough!

The band I alluded to in my ELP post is Jackson Heights.

As I said, I saw them once supporting either Yes or King Crimson but I have little recollection of them and had, until yesterday, forgotten all about them.
I didn't possess any of their music so they obviously didn't make much of an impression on me at the time.

Jackson Heights were formed by bassist and vocalist Lee Jackson when the Nice disbanded in  1970.  They are very much, in my opinion, of their time.

Here's some footage from French TV in 1971.
It is 30 minutes long so perhaps pop in and out but I rather like the jam session starting at about 11-15 minutes.

See what you think.

A seminal album in Christian heavy metal history. Unbelievably, this is now 36 years old. 

I suspect 99.7% of the board will be repelled by the Thrashy goodness. ?

Sorry but it'll probably come as no surprise that I consider that "just a racket". 

It's funny because in Thrash circles this is considered very melodic.

It is truly "relative" to tastes, tolerances, exposure.

I have to agree with Martin. I prefer my metal with a semblance of tune and much less 'thrashy'
