the biggest music albums of the 50s-70s (The Book of Golden Discs)
First Night [Columbia, 1976]
The three biggest selling record albums of all time are The Sound of Music, Bridge Over Troubled Water, and Tapestry. The proof of how un-monolithic mass culture is is in how few prospective consumers are likely to own all three. And as proof of how numbing Jane Olivor is, it's a safe bet to assume she not only owns all three, but would put them in her top albums of all time. She may as yet succeed but if so it will only be by abandoning the part of Barbra Streisand that Bette Midler put in the garbage. C
