Seats snapped up for Harrogate event which will showcase classic 1970s rock album which sold 25 million copies
Tickets are selling fast for the next instalment of Harrogate’s popular Vinyl Sessions series which will showcase a classic album regarded as one of the great staples of 1970s rock.
The eponymous album by Boston broke sales records when it was first released on Epic Records in 1976 with its iconic front cover, becoming the best-selling debut LP in the US at the time.
Since then, it has sold a phenomenal 25 million copies worldwide bouyed by its most famous track – hit single More Than A Feeling..
Taking place on Wednesday, June 10 upstairs at Starling Independent Bar Cafe Kitchen, Vinyl Sessions will start at 7.30pm with an introduction by Colin Paine followed by an artist profile and backstory from the Harrogate Advertiser’s Graham Chalmers.
The spectacular album cover with its fleet of guitar-shaped spaceships was based on an idea by the American rock band’s founder and songwriter Tom Scholz.
The album playback will be presented on an authentic vintage 1976 hi-fi system – a Sony STR7065A receiver, Sony PS4750 Turntable, driving RAM 200 Monitor Loudspeakers.
There will also be Mike’s stunning video/slide show, a prize raffle and some classic bonus tracks.
Founded by vintage hi-fi expert Colin Paine in 2018, every single penny at Vinyl Sessions goes to Harrogate Hospital and Community Hospital charity and Harrogate Hospital’s Special Baby Unit.
In total, so far, audiences have raised more than £20,000 for the charity.
With seats being snapped up for the Boston event, advance booking is advised.
