Thanks Rob.

I will provide these clues in three batches, hardest to easiest.

All seven clues link together.

I will wait for just a few guesses before posting the next set of clues if no one gets it.

Aficionados could/should be able to get this after the second set (it’s not an obscure album), others after the third.

Kudos if you get it after the first set.

Clue set 1:

Ha, no, but 1) that's my favo(u)rite Queen record and 2) you are very much in the ballpark time-wise and 3) "News" is part of the clue . . .

"Good News!" - Attitudes

 

[GornikDaze]

Peters and Lee - Welcome Home…. ;)

I'm hoping it's Huey and the boys but very much doubt it.

I doubt they made it big in the States :)

 

[FogBlueInSanFran]

Peters and Lee - Welcome Home…. ;)

No, but again you're getting there . . . "Home" is part of the clue . . .

 

[FogBlueInSanFran]

OK, clue set 2 . . .

Goldfrappe - Priest in the News

Getting colder . . . .

Let's see if I can help out.

I said there were seven clues. I said you had the timeframe roughly right. I said ELO stole some thunder from me given its complicated arrangements.

And to make it easier . . . we have discussed a part of this record not long ago.

I’m struggling - I can’t remember this morning let alone not long ago!

OK, well, I thought the fourth clue was a dead giveaway (and I suspect you all will agree it was), so . . .

Here is the final set of clues:

 

[FogBlueInSanFran]

Seven clues. Take each one literally . . .
