I first got into music about 75, so it even closer.I got the Beatles Red & Blue albums and I loved every song. Still have them somewhere very old & battered, I'm assuming it was the summer of 75 when talking to my older brother and he said you like the early stuff try Dr Feelgood, you like the trippy shit try Pink Floyd etc. Those red & blue albums were an education in themselves. Of course a year later punk had been decreed as year zero and all old music was bad, and you learnt to play the guitar by playing along to Ramones records rather than Love Me Do or Chuck Berry, shame really, but for any one who could get beyond that you could pick old records up dirt cheap.
Just wish my brother had been more into Krautrock and less into Deep Purple, might not have taken me 30 years to discover Neu.
