The Two Sheds Mix Tapes 31-33: The Music of 1970

Back in January I saw a video on Youtube that featured a collection of songs that were twenty years old this year. The first thing I thought was that I could do better than that, so I compiled a Youtube play list of songs that were released in 1970, fifty years ago.

Eleven months later, and with 2020 in it’s final throes I thought it would be a good idea to revisit this idea with three Mix Tapes looking back at songs that made the UK charts back then, with nearly sixty songs for your personal enjoyment. Here’s the track listings:
