The
Faces “Nod’s As Good As a Wink” lp is banned in the USA because of an
alleged ‘obscene’ poster included within the sleeve. The album is re-issued
without the poster.
The
rhythm section of Traffic, Ric Grech and Jim Gordon, leave the group which
reverts back to a trio of Winwood, Capaldi and Wood.
The Montreaux Casino is burned down by "Some stupid **** with a flare gun" (as immortalized by Deep Purple's "Smoke On The Water") during a Frank Zappa concert. The Purps were supposed to record their new album at the Casino, using the Rolling Stones Mobile studio, but are forced to improvise by using their hotel instead.
Zappa's troubles weren't over however. Playing a show at the new Rainbow Theatre, he is knocked into the orchestra pit by the jealous boyfriend of a female Zappa-fan, sustaining a compound fracture of his leg.
John Lennon is deep into his political-protest period. He and Yoko join the "Rock Liberation Front" and headline a rally against harsh jail sentences for possession of marijuana. Lennon also launches a vicious attack on his erstwhile Bandmate Paul McCartney.
Peace and Toby, the bands formed by ex-Free members Paul Rodgers and Andy Fraser both split up. Rodgers apparently thought that Peace was "Too restrictive", while Fraser "Broke up Toby because he was not sure what he wanted to do". Meanwhile, Simon Kirke and Paul Kossoff complete the recording of an album with Rabbit Bundrick and Tetsu Yamauchi. Kirke and Tetsu also link up temporarily with Graham Bond to play gigs under the name of "Graham Bond & Heavy Friends".
Marc Bolan quits Fly Records and signs a deal with EMI that allows all of his subsequent releases to appear on the "T Rex Wax Co" label.
Martin Carthy quits Steeleye Span in the wake of Ashley Hutchings' departure.
The last remaining founder member of Fairport Convention, Simon Nicol, leaves the group. He's replaced by Birmingham guitarist Roger Hill.
Keith Relf, who has been producing Medicine Head, becomes a member of the group.
Jimmy McCulloch's band splits after only 8 weeks together. Jimmy fulfills existing live commitments with temporary fill-in musicians.
Elmer Gantry, who has spent the last 18 months singing in the London production of "Hair" following his split with Velvet Opera, joins Armada as lead vocalist.
Guitarist Jim Gannon leaves Black Widow. He's replaced by John Culley (ex-Cressida).
Ernie Graham (vocals/guitar) and Jonathan Glemser (lead guitar) quit Help Yourself. Road Manager Paul Burton becomes a guitarist to fill the gap.
Gary Moore quits Skid Row. He is replaced by 16-year old Welsh guitarist Paul Chapman.
