The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None. Personal Review: So, long before Tori Amos became famous in the 1990’s, she had released this album with her band “Y Kant Tori Read” – and honestly, who cares if Tori can’t read, she’s a hottie. Just look at that cover. The album opens with “The Big Picture” and... Read More »
The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: “REBORN! What a glorious word. It’s really great to be absolutely positive, on the authority of God’s Holy Word, that we do indeed have life everlasting as we believe on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, receive Him as our Savior, and truly are Born Again. With great joy... Read More »
The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: “WELL IT’S 40 BELOW AND I DON’T GIVE A beep GOTTA HEATER IN MY TRUCK AND WE’RE OFF TO THE RODEO” Personal Review: I decided since I liked Showdown’s other record, I might as well follow up with their 1980 album, “Welcome to the Rodeo” – this album in particular...

The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None. Personal Review: I liked the way Trudie looked, and the label of this record is one that’s actually relatively close by to me, and plus the owner Dave Daw of the Proverbs, is in my collection on more than one record (two Proverbs records, and countless other Summit Sound...

The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None. Personal Review: So, Sissy Spacek just so happens to be one of my favorite actresses, she was absolutely amazing in “Carrie” and “The Coal Miners Daughter” (which is what inspired her to do this album). The album opens with the title track “Hangin’ Up My Heart” and although it... Read More »
The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None. Personal Review: I don’t think I really know anything about Killing Joke, and I only got this album because I really liked the cover and though the song titles on the back were in Ukrainian. The album opens with the track “Requiem” and we seem to be off to... Read More »
The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None. Personal Review: The Singing Postman (aka Allan Smethurst) is as real as people come, this was a guy who was a post man who literally sung and wrote songs while doing his route, and somehow, despite his very, very thick Norfolk dialect, became surprisingly famous for a bit, until...

The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None. Personal Review: So, I don’t remember why I bought this record, but it was most likely for the bowl of cornflakes on the cover, or the fact they’re eating cornflakes on the back cover. The album opes with the song “I’d Lie to You for Your Love (And That’s... Read More »
The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None. Personal Review: Now this is a band I bought because I know *one* of their songs from the 1979 film, “The Warriors” and figured, well if I like that one song, why not buy a whole album of their songs? The album opens with the song “Westside Pow Wow”... Read More »
The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: “Markey travels with her husband, Paul. She sings and preaches at church, women’s clubs, and any other place where Christ can be promoted. Many of the songs Markey sings are of her own original compositions. If you would like Markey to minister in sermon and song to your group, organization,... Read More »
The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None. Personal Review: So every once and a while I like to do something a little more mainstream, as opposed to my usual target of private pressings. I do think this is pretty mainstream, and it’s Pink Floyd’s latest, and I’m quite familiar with their old stuff, so I’m not sure... Read More »
The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None. Personal Review: This album was one of those random record store purchases because of a dog on the cover. I tend to do that lots. The album opens with the track “Newfoundlanders” and well, it’s a song about people from Newfoundland, and well, it’s like they’re super proud to... Read More »
