1978 : THE YEAR IN HEAVY - In 40 Minutes

Let's go back in time when heavy metal was just beginning to find its legs (after its birth in 1970 with with BLACK SABBATH's self-titled debut). Back then hard rock and metal were terms used interchangeably, so don't be surprised to see both represented in this 40 minute curated set of the best hard music made that year.
