Ep 77 - 77's / Seventy Sevens
Christian Geeks Rockcast
With episode 77, we had to revisit the 77s, and what better album to review than the self-titled 1987 Seventy Sevens. So many 7s! This album, also known as the Island record, was supposed to catapult the band to stardom, but a little band called U2 had other plans.
