Featuring big hits, intriguing misses and key album tracks from 1974 as well as a clutch of alternative versions and unissued-at-the-time gems. Although 1974 was dominated by the country's crippling economic woes, the British rock and pop scene continued to flourish. The more creative element of the glam rock spectrum inspired a host of new bands, with Cockney Rebel, Be-Bop Deluxe and Sparks coming through to establish themselves alongside genre heavyweights Roxy Music, T. Rex and Slade. London's pub rock circuit saw stalwarts Brinsley Schwarz joined by early Ian Dury outfit Kilburn \u0026amp; The High Roads, Ace (who scored a hit single with the timeless 'How Long') and Dr. Feelgood, whose aggressive attitude and slashing, guitar-based brand of tough R\u0026amp;B influenced a whole new generation of musicians. Ace and fellow classic one-hit wonders Brian Protheroe and Splinter took their place in the singles chart alongside Rod Stewart, Status Quo and Bryan Ferry, while there were inexplicable misses for Ronnie Lane and former Bowie sideman Mick Ronson. Many rock bands eschewed the self-indulgences of early 70s prog-rock to adopt a more streamlined sound, exemplified by vital albums from Thin Lizzy, Man and The Sensational Alex Harvey Band. Established mavericks Peter Hammill and Kevin Coyne continued to attract a cult following, Lesley Duncan and Bridget St. John represented the distaff side of the singer\/songwriter scene, while Richard And Linda Thompson released the classic folk-rock album 'I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight'. Housed in a clamshell box that includes a heavily annotated and illustrated 48-page booklet, 'Patterns On The Window' features all of the above as well as key tracks from such names as Medicine Head, Procol Harum, Manfred Mann's Earth Band, Nazareth, Pretty Things and many others. The result is a fascinating overview of another hugely enjoyable, multi-faceted year in British rock and pop.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe 'In' Crowd - Bryan Ferry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHasta Manana Monsieur -Sparks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJudy Teen - Cockney Rebel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBilly Porter - Mick Ronson\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Man Who Couldn't Afford to Orgy - John Cale 6 Jet Silver and the Dolls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOf Venus - Be-Bop Deluxe 7 She Was Just a Young Girl (No Way) - Simon Turner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePinball - Brian Protheroe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Poacher - Ronnie Lane\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhilomena - Thin Lizzy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBreak the Rules - Status Quo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCajun Kick - Medicine Head\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnother Day - the Spencer Davis Group\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePoor Ditching Boy - Iain Matthews\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf I Were a Carpenter - National Flag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDoctor, Doctor (Single Edit) - Ufo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLock and Key - Snafu\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePapa Don't Go - Jona Lewie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePut a Record on (Single Version) - Tramp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn My World - Chalice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAs Long As You Want Me to - Rescue Co.
