Chart compiled by listeners voting
on the songs they hear on Radio Dupree

Most of the artists that managed to find their place on the Radio Dupree chart this time are well known to our  listeners. Bowie, Zappa, The Beatles... However, our #1 is something of a surprise: Flo & Eddie (Mark Volman and Howard Kaylan) are old Zappa sidemen and on this 1975 album the heritage from the Mothers stage shows is pretty obvious.

The second thing that catches our eyes is that two out of the eleven tracks on the chart are from a rather obscure compilation album - Forge Your Own Chains: Heavy Psychedelic Ballads and Dirges (Now-Again Records).
The Album of the Month though, Stranger in the City by John Miles, was not favored at all. We get the message.
