Greg Hart Builds His Dream 1976 Album + New Cats in Space Album Secrets

Greg Hart Builds His Dream 1976 Album – 10 Tracks, Two Sides, No FillersWhat would be on your perfect ten-track album from 1976?In this special episode of the Now Spinning Magazine podcast, I am joined by Greg Hart, guitarist and songwriter with Cats in Space, to create his dream vinyl compilation from one of the most extraordinary years in music.This is not a conventional countdown. Greg has selected five tracks for side one and five for side two, carefully choosing the opening song, the final track and several unexpected deep cuts along the way.His choices move from Rainbow, Thin Lizzy and Status Quo to classic pop, soul and disco—and there are absolutely no guilty pleasures. Greg explains what these records meant to him as a young music fan and reveals how artists including 10cc, the Four Seasons, John Miles and Phil Lynott helped shape the writing, harmonies and production of Cats in Space.We also discuss the forthcoming Cats in Space album, the first from the new line-up featuring Chris Childs and Sam Wood. Greg reveals why side one will rock harder than ever, why side two contains five epics, how Thin Lizzy influenced the new guitar arrangements and why the album will receive a refreshingly straightforward physical release on classic black vinyl and CD.

Which ten songs would make your own 1976 compilation? What would open side one—and which song would bring the album to a close? Please share your track listing in the comments.
