Skyhooks ‎– Living In The 70’s (“Gold” Vinyl) VG/VG

Skyhooks’ “Living in the 70’s” wasn’t just an album title, it was a statement. Released in 1974, this debut album by the Melbourne band captured the zeitgeist of the era for Australian audiences. The music itself was a mix of rock and glam rock, with a heavy dose of attitude that resonated with a generation. The title track, which became a hit single, was a tongue-in-cheek look at the decade’s trends, from leisure suits to platform shoes. But “Living in the 70’s” wasn’t all frivolity. Some of the album’s tracks, which even faced radio bans for their suggestive content, tackled themes of rebellion and youthful defiance. Despite some initial lackluster sales, the album eventually skyrocketed to the top of the charts, becoming the highest-selling Australian album up to that point. “Living in the 70’s” wasn’t just music, it was a cultural phenomenon.
