1974 proved to be a difficult journey down the corridors of time primarily because we had to avoid many of the numerous pop hits that became part of our global soundtrack back then. A good number of them were insipid but catchy (like superflu) and hard to steer around. We were able to play some of the good ones however, and the usual practices of safe 4th dimensional travel (don’t kill your grandfather, don’t advise your younger self to buy IBM, etc…) were followed to the letter. Here’s the list of the sound of other days from 1974:
