Super Sox '75

From SoSH

Super Sox '75 was an LP record album released by Fleetwood Sound following the team's surprising run to the 1975 World Series, where they extended the Cincinnati Reds' "Big Red Machine" to a seventh game only to lose in the 9th inning. It was released shortly after Thanksgiving in 1975.

Narrated by Ned Martin, the record features dozens of highlight clips called by Martin and his radio broadcast partner, Jim Woods, along with interviews with Fred Lynn, Denny Doyle and Reds manager Sparky Anderson. The album's background music is a jazzy, upbeat rendition of the Frank Sinatra classic My Way.

The project was underwritten by Anheuser-Busch Brewing, whose Budweiser beer is advertised on the album's front cover.

Eight years earlier, Fleetwood had released a record, titled The Impossible Dream, that celebrated the 1967 Red Sox' rise from worst to first and a World Series berth against the St. Louis Cardinals. In 2004, both albums were re-released by Fleetwood on compact disc.
