But I grew up in buffalo and it may of been more like 73,74 or 75. Chain gang was a big hit in buffalo. He was a really big celebrity in buffalo. I think it's a shame people remember the Koharski incident instead of all the heart and talent this guy had and still has. He's the asst. G M for the Rangers now. I think the Koharski thing hurt his career and I bet he wishes it never happened. Or unlike the rest of us he could care less and looks back at it now and laughs. Also great album thanks for the album. PAUL I read the album came out his rookie year of 1972. But I grew up in buffalo and it may of been more like 73,74 or 75. Chain gang was a big hit in buffalo.

The alumni site has the music, but the artwork is priceless. Thanks for narrowing down the year on this! This is fantastic! The alumni site has the music, but the artwork is priceless.

I think it would have been difficult, based on the recording dates of Feb 1-4, to have finished up the technical work on the album, had it pressed, and in the local record stores prior to my leaving western New York. I would think then, based on the recording dates and photographs, that the most likely year the album came out was 1973.

Per the Buffalo Sabres Alumni site, which has all the tracks available for download, the album was recorded Feb 1-4, although no year is listed, but which, with the photographs, would most likely mean the album came out in either 1973 or 1974. Based on the photographs and the recording dates, there is no way the earlier Wikipedia date is accurate. Thank you for sharing the music!

Just for the "musicologists" I like to add that this album is probably from 1972 or probably 1973, although Wikipedia says 1971. Schoenfeld was drafted for the season 1972/73 for Buffalo and played then the first time in the NHL and the liner notes say that he already played in the NHL and also the photos seem to show him playing for Buffalo (No. 6 on the shirt and referee with NHL badge). So at least this version wasn't published before the end of 1972. Other sources say also 1973 or 1974. Thank you for a very interesting blog!! Very nice find.
