Making the most of a rare Sunday Morning with the house to myself with a proactive to do list: - Coffee - Revisit the top 3 in my #1968AlbumsTop20 list - Prepare for afternoon nap #VinylCommunity #Sunday
#1968AlbumsTop20 1. The Zombies - Odessey and Oracle This has been fun. It was quite a year. I think the top 3 would be in my 10 favourite albums of all time. In an alternate universe, this would have been a huge hit and they’d have stayed together. A better universe. #MusicChallenge
