The fourth and last album of Patti Smith's 1970's run before taking a decade hiatus, this is a little smoother than earlier efforts and vies ever more for commercial appeal, but is nonetheless a great record to mark the end of a stellar first phase in her career.

This is the second receiver I have purchased of this Sony model. It has been a great choice for use with my two turntable setups - nice versatility for inputs and clean output to speakers.
Limited vinyl LP pressing. Live Through This is the second studio album by Hole, the band led by Courtney Love. Considered a contemporary classic, this record was included in Rolling Stone Magazine's list of 500 Greatest Albums Of All Time. Features production by Sean Slade and Paul Q Kolderie with mixing by Scott Litt and J Mascis. Live Through This was Hole's only album to feature bassist Kristen Pfaff before her death in June 1994. Recorded in October 1993, the album marked a divergence from the band's unpolished hardcore aesthetics to more refined melodies and song structure. The album's lyrics and packaging reflect Love's preoccupation with beauty, and it's songs contain repeated motifs of milk, motherhood, anti-elitism, and violence against women. Album Tracks 1. Violet 2. Miss World 3. Plump 4. Asking for It 5. Jennifer's Body 6. Doll Parts 1. Credit in the Straight World 2. Softer, Softest 3. She Walks on Me 4. I Think That I Would Die 5. Gutless 6. Rock Star

Hole's 2nd album was released the year I graduated high school and started college, and it left an enduring/endearing mark upon me. The music represents the remnants of my teenage angst at the time as I struggled to adjust to a (somewhat) more responsible life. Aching, raging, gorgeous songs - a classic!
Limited 180gm audiophile vinyl LP pressing including insert. The B-52's is the debut album by the Athens, Georgia based new wave band The B-52's. The album cover was designed by Tony Wright. Produced by Chris Blackwell, The B-52's peaked at #59 on the Billboard 200, and 'Rock Lobster' reached #56 on the Hot 100. The jerky, angular Funk was danceable. It's all great fun. Songs like 'Planet Claire', 'Dance This Mess Around' and 'Rock Lobster' illustrated that The B-52's adoration of camp culture wasn't simply affectation, it was a world view capable of turning out brilliant pop singles and, in turn, influencing mainstream pop culture. Album Tracks 1. Planet Claire 2. 52 Girls 3. Dance This Mess Around 4. Rock Lobster 5. Lava 6. There's a Moon in the Sky (Called the Moon) 7. Hero Worship 8. 6060-842 9. Downtown

This debut album by the B-52's immediately cements their status as the ultimate fun-loving band. It's weird but accessible, played with gleeful DIY abandon by an eccentric, joyful group of friends. Good times all around!
Vinyl LP pressing. Digitally re-mastered edition of the 1984 debut album from the legendary British quartet. Arriving in an era dominated by Synthpop and gloomy Post-Punk, the Smith's eponymous debut was the beginning of a new era. Johnny Marr's inventive songwriting and ringing guitars were catchy and melodic and were made all the more original by Morrissey's vocal style and lyrics. Although The Smiths continued to improve over the course of their career, the songs here are vital and alive, making sure that their debut remains startling and exciting to this day. Album Tracks 1. Reel Around the Fountain 2. You've Got Everything Now (2011 Remastered Version) 3. Miserable Lie (2011 Remastered Version) 4. Pretty Girls Make Graves (2011 Remastered Version) 5. The Hand That Rocks the Cradle (2011 Remastered Version) 1. Still Ill (2011 Remastered Version) 2. Hand in Glove (2011 Remastered Version) 3. What Difference Does It Make? (2011 Remastered Version) 4. I Don't Owe You Anything (2011 Remastered Version) 5. Suffer Little Children (2011 Remastered Version)

Such a great debut statement by an incredible and sometimes misunderstood band. Morrissey's bleak sentiment is offset by a snarky, ironic humor. The music is tight, snappy, and bright with a spotlight on Johnny Marr's wonderfully unique guitar sound. Love it!

This, the Damned's debut album, is generally regarded as the first British punk LP. Whether or not you accept that is irrelevant to the fact that it's an absolute classic rock & roll record, punk or not. Scorching songs from start to finish with plenty of snarl and attitude!

I love Love, and I love this album (Da Capo). It features a superb set of psychedelic / garage / pop songs on side 1, and a bluesy / jazzy extended jam on the entirety of side 2 fully justified in its length. The only reason to deprive it of a fifth star is that its follow-up, Forever Changes, reaches pure perfection as a surreal pop masterpiece!

This first studio album from Nick Drake, which has garnered posthumous praise and remarkable all-time greatest album ratings, is an exact replica of the original 1969 it is pressed on heavyweight audiophile vinyl and remastered from near-original master tapes by the album's original engineer, John Wood. The original tape was unusable and although there were tape copies the best source was using a 24bit digital file made from the original tape when re-mastered for CD some 12 years ago. Nick Drake's bucolic autumnal shades in his debut album of a similar name, heralded a new signing for Island Records not traditional enough to be folk, not weird enough to be psychedelic, Drake avoided the pitfalls of what was expected and collaborated with producer Joe Boyd, orchestrator Robert Kirby and recording engineer John Wood to make a singular and almost unique record released to a largely indifferent media. A few leaves fell in the right place and Nick's reputation grew, despite his early death at 24 in 1976, escalating into his world-wide fame of today. Poverty stricken students of 1968 rolled their own - not for them the cigarette temptations of a pack of 10 cigarettes, no, their tobacco thrills came hand rolled, usually in Rizla papers which kindly reminded the participant that they were about to run out, with a yellow interleaf paper with bold red type stating Only Five Leaves Left. Album Tracks 1. Time Has Told Me 2. River Man 3. Three Hours 4. Way to Blue 5. Day Is Done 6. Cello Song 7. Thoughts of Mary Jane 8. Man in a Shed 9. Fruit Tree 10. Saturday Sun

It's a shame that Nick Drake, during his all-too-short lifetime, was neglected the praise he richly deserved. This, his first album, is delicate, melancholy, beautiful, mellow, and occasionally uplifting. It's a gorgeous listen, and highly recommended.

I love this album. It's made a bit more unique with a sprinkling of live versions in the sequence to complement the classic album versions. Great, timeless songs!
