Connection: Classic Albums Released on the Same Day

I wanted to look at an interesting phenomenon. That is when classic albums are released on the same day. It doesn’t happen often. However, if you look back through the years and all the times there have been incredible albums released the same day, it must have been great for music fans. These amazing albums coming out the same week and not knowing which one to spend your money on! That sort of excitement does not really happen these days. However, that is not to say we will never see a day when two massive albums come out the same day and there is this feverish anticipation. Although I cannot include dates in a playlist, I have found albums released the same day and included tracks from each. Putting them side by side. I am doing it in pairs, so the first two albums were released the same day; the third and fourth etc. Spotify has the wrong date for the release of Soundgarden’s Superuknown, and there is debate whether Bob Dylan’s Blonde on Blonde was released the same day as The Beach Boys’ Pet Sounds, but I believe they were (though some might argue that). From A Tribe Called Quest and Nirvana in 1991, Björk and Alanis Morissette and Radiohead and Elastica in 1995, there have been these wonderful clashes. To see it happen is…
ALWAYS a joy.
