Year/Genre: 1975  Classic Rock

Matrix #: ST-11440

Condition: VG Plays with a slight wobble, but sounds great. 

Description: Emerging from Woodstock, New York, The Band had already defined a roots-rock style that influenced countless acts of the 1970s. Northern Lights–Southern Cross (1975) was their first album of entirely new material in four years and the first recorded at their own Shangri-La studio in Malibu. It features “Ophelia” and the moving “It Makes No Difference,” songs that highlight their ability to fuse rock, folk, and soul with lyrical storytelling. As one of the key American/Canadian groups bridging traditional music with modern rock, this record demonstrates their maturity and studio innovation. For collectors, it’s an essential piece of mid-70s rock that captures The Band’s final creative peak before their original lineup dissolved.
