This Day in Music History: Journey/Journey (04/01)

Journey is the self-titled debut album by the band of the same name, released on this day in 1975 on Columbia Records. Unlike their later recordings, this is a progressive rock album which focuses mainly on the band's instrumental talents. It is the only album to include rhythm guitarist George Tickner among their personnel.

Journey features progressive rock tracks like "Kohoutek", "Topaz", fan favorite "Mystery Mountain", and the single "To Play Some Music".

My personal favorite from this album is the first track "Of a Lifetime".

The album peaked at #138 on the album charts.
