Talk:Parachute (The Pretty Things album)

"Rolling Stone naming it the best album of 1970, over ... Pearl by Janis Joplin..."

Wasn't Pearl from 1971? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.44.201.196 (talk) 02:51, 21 February 2009 (UTC)


 * The story about Rolling Stone naming it Album of the Year is just urban legend, I think (though it's repeated in some versions of the CD liner notes). From what I understand Rolling Stone didn't even *have* an Album of the Year award at the time. 202.94.132.19 (talk) 16:59, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

In any event Parachute is the greatest record ever recorded. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.241.106.183 (talk) 16:05, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Okay. I've done a search through back issues of Rolling Stone on that Cover-to-Cover DVD package, and the Albums of the Year for 1970 were After the Gold Rush, Gasoline Alley, and Moondance. For 1971: Tapestry, What's Going On, Who's Next. Parachute isn't mentioned at all prior to Sept. 1973. I suppose that settles that. 113.41.250.106 (talk) 14:23, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
