#1 Record

Many critics praised the album’s vocal harmonies and songcraft but #1 Record suffered from poor distribution and sold fewer than 10,000 copies upon its initial release. However, #1 Record gained wider attention in the late 1970s in the UK when EMI reissued it with Radio City as a double LP package due to increasing demand. The same combination was used when the album was released on CD in 1992. It is now widely-regarded as a seminal work in pop rock and power pop. In 2020 it was ranked number 474 on Rolling Stone magazine’s list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.Rolling Stone also ranked the song ”Thirteen” as number 406 on its 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. It was voted number 188 in the third edition of Colin Larkin’s All Time Top 1000 Albums (2000).
