The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: “I smell a hit!” Personal Review: Well, the song opens with a whole lot of dogs barking – and it’s definitely some Southern Rock here, it’s not that bad either. The lyrics aren’t the best, considering Norman is literally just singing “bow wow wow wow”…

The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None. Personal Review: So, this is one of those odd one of a kind albums, where the A-Side has one song, and the B-Side has more – yes I know it’s an EP. Seems Images in Vogue liking doing this. The A-Side opens and closes…

The Sleeve: The Picture Disc: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None. Personal Review: So, this album was like a special release promo thing for her (at the time) upcoming “Bangerz Tour” – and well, I went for it, the album, not the tour. The LP’s themselves, have AWFUL sound quality – so…

The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None. Personal Review: So, this song is one of my “feel good” songs, it opens with some pretty nice guitar playing then Elizabeth comes into sing, and sing she does. Elizabeth has one of the most powerful voices I’ve heard from a female vocalist, and…

The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None. Personal Review: Now Fleetwood Mac is one of those bands that I grew up listening to, I heard all their albums and loved everything I heard, so naturally when I got this album I knew one day I’d have the pleasure of reviewing one…

The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None. Personal Review: So, the past few record hauls I’ve done, I’ve picked up every Andy Gibb LP I’ve found, I’ve always seen them, know his history, and love the work of the Bee Gees, so hey, why not? The album opens with the track…

The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: “We were planning our Variety Series in the Fall of 1967, when a fan letter arrived. It was from a 17 year old high school senior. She was merely asking for advice about how to get started in “Show Business”. I don’t know what it…

The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None. Personal Review: So, this is one of my all time favorite albums of all time, and I was like so beyond excited when I finally obtained it! To start off, let me say 1979 was a good year for music, don’t believe me? We’ve…

The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None. Personal Review: So, when I first saw this album at the Salvation Army – I had passed up the opportunity to bring it into my collection. Then went back a week later and grabbed, anyways, my copy is warped, so my friend Drew graciously…
