1097 - Yesterday And Today 25 Hours A Day 1976

Years before unleashing their critically acclaimed "Earthshaker" album in 1981, San Francisco's Y&T had enjoyed a brief, semi-covert existence in the mid-'70s, when they still went by their original name, the pre-shortening Yesterday & Today.
The quartet recorded two albums during this phase, the first of which was this eponymous 1976 debut. And although their name eventually changed, this album already boasted most of the sonic traits which would characterize the band's entire career thereafter, most notably, amazingly high musicianship standards all around and searing leads from main man Dave Meniketti. Highlights include the party-hardy anthem "25 Hours a Day".
