    Jan 28 2025

    Welcome to Rock and Roll Flashback! I'm Jumpin' John, and in this episode I will share some background information about two of my all time favorite recordings. I'm talking about two catchy tunes with beautiful melodies that were both recorded at Strawberry Studios in Stockport, England and released as singles in 1975: "I'm Not in Love" by 10cc and "Blue Guitar" by Justin Hayward. This is the story about the links among Strawberry Studios, 10cc, and Justin Hayward.

  • From Down Under: AC/DC
    Dec 15 2024

    Welcome to Rock and Roll Flashback! I'm Bill Price, and in this edition of From Down Under, I will focus on the Australian band AC/DC. Unlike other native Australian bands, AC/DC’s founding members and subsequent vocalists hailed from Scotland and England. AC/DC would go on to worldwide success and their music described as blues rock, heavy metal and hard rock. However, the band preferred to call it simply "Rock and Roll". This is the story of AC/DC, on Rock and Roll Flashback.

  • Pittsburgh Music Scene from 1968 to 1974
    Dec 5 2024

    Welcome to Rock and Roll Flashback! I'm Jumpin' John, and I am calling this podcast episode the "Pittsburgh Music Scene From 1968 to 1974". We are going to drift back through the fog of time - back some fifty years or so - and test our fading memories. Since I essentially left the Pittsburgh area in 1968 to go to college, I need to contact someone who was still in Pittsburgh during those years. His name is David Shannon, and he has promised to share some of what he remembers of the Pittsburgh music scene during the late 1960's and early 1970's.

    So I managed to catch up with David Shannon. We live in separate parts of the country, so I have created a compilation of a couple phone conversations that we had in October and November 2024. What follows is one man's perspective on the Pittsburgh music scene from 1968 to 1974.
