(Mike Oldfield 'Tubular Bells' (Virgin); Led Zeppelin 'Houses of the Holy' (Atlantic); Roxy Music 'For Your Pleasure' Warner Bros./Island; Pink Floyd 'The Dark Side of the Moon' (Harvest/Capitol); Lou Reed 'Berlin' (RCA); New York Dolls 'New York Dolls' (Mercury); David Bowie 'Aladdin Sane' (RCA); Stevie Wonder 'Innervisions' (Tamla))
