I love both “Year of the Cat” and “Time Passages”, two great albums. Good to listen to late at night, when it’s quiet.
Of course 1976 was the year of Boston’s first album — 17 million copies sold. An amazing album. I’ll never forget hearing it through an acquaintance’s JBL L100’s, with a 100 or 125 watt Pioneer receiver, one of the most powerful available at the time. Blew us away.
Lots of good ones that year...
