Is there anyone out there who remember a group called Atlanta Rhythm Section?? Better still, do you still have a turntable and ARS 33's??

If you have a 33rpm lp of Atlanta Rhythm Section, play it at 45 rpm's (the song "Imaginary Lover" would be best, but likely any would do). Who is singing now (she/her band are very popular)???

I remember reading an interesting story in a music mag. in the late 70's. Apparently, a dj played an ARS song on the wrong speed. Everyone called the station, surprised that this well-known band recorded this song. They also weanted to know which lp they could find this song on.

I won't mention the singer/band at this time as it may ruin the surprise for someone.

Stephen, You may have to help us out here. I have a turntable and I remember ARS, unfortunately I don't have any of their vinyl.

Atlanta Rhythm Section played at 45RPM sounds just like....... abktco

Stevie Nicks of Fleetwood Mac (maybe a young Stevie Nicks, but still Stevie Nicks)!!!

I remember a friend playing the song "Imaginary Lover" for me when the story appeared, on the wrong speed. It sure sounded like Stevie to me.

I had no idea (I always assumed it was a Santana original), so I had to google. Wow, I had no idea Fleetwood Mac recorded it (written by Peter Green) in 1968.

I will have to listen to early Fleetwood Mac sometime. I really am only familiar with Nicks/Buckingham version. I am sure they sound totally different from the FM as I know it, likely very bluesy.

It seems like it would sound like Alvin and the Chipmunks!

Interesting CDN! I love Stevie Nicks!
