I am reviewing Strawbs at the moment and I would like to point out that their album "Ghosts" was released in 1974 (instead of 1975 as mentioned). It comes before "Nomadness" in the sequence of their releases.

 
Saty tuned,
 
 
Daniel.

AllMusic Guide also has it listed as a released date of 1975.   http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:w9fpxq85ldje  Is there another source that I could double check that?  I'll try the band website.  Thanks.

AllMusic Guide also shows Nomadness as having been recorded in Mid-75 but released in 1976.
 
The Strawbs' website shows Ghosts as 1974 on the first page, but when I click on it shows that it was released in 1975.  The Strawbs' website also shows Nomadness as having been released in 1975.

I am no expert but Ghosts was definitely 1974 and Nomadness definitely 1975Smile

There's no doubt Ghosts came first, I've changed the order accordingly.
 
The year of release seems less clear. It was recorded late in 1974, but may not actually have come out until early '75. I tended to buy their albums as soon as they were available in those days, and I bought that one in February 75. That's no evidence of course, I may have just had an expensive Christmas!

The band web site indicates that it was released in 1974 (but there is more precise information). Anyway, it was more important to show that this good album was featured BEFORE "Nomadness" to understand better their music evolution.
 
Take care,
