The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: Personal Review: Basically, once more it’s another band I know nothing about – but either liked the cover, or in this case, liked the cover and the title track. So here we go! The A-Side is “In Dahmer’s Room” – and it’s pretty basic hard rock, really loud guitar, bass... Read More »
The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None. Personal Review: The Eagles with one of their best known songs – also, dig the writing on the sleeve. So, the A-Side opens with what I can only imagine is one of their most well known songs, “Hotel California” – which is just an overall amazing track on it’s... Read More »
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 it is singers like Elizabeth... Read More »
The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: “Many thanks to all those who kindly donated their time and effort to help make this record.” Personal Review: Back in the 80’s, shortly after Bob Geldof did the Band Aid thing for Africa everyone began hopping on the bandwagon, first USA with USA for Africa, and their single “We...

The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None. Personal Review: So, both actors were in the 1979 film “Quadrophenia” – and both went on to have pretty good film careers.

The Sleeve: The Liner / Sleeve Notes: None. Personal Review: So hey, a single from back when Christian Death had a super amazing line-up. Rozz Williams on vocals. Rikk Agnew on guitar. Yup, the good days. Anyways, A-Side is “Cavity – First Communion” – I personally like it, but it’s said to be an “alternate... Read More »
The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: “First of the hard-core L.A. groups to come up with a single, the Germs have recorded (I think that’s the word) one of the most mind-boggling songs I’ve ever heard. They take monotony to new heights and push the absurdity factor further than almost any other group. The song... Read More »
The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None. Personal Review: So, Isaac Hayes. Shaft Theme. Oh baby. Bring… it… ON! For those of you who are too young to know who Isaac Hayes was, he was also the voice of Chef on “South Park” (but who cares about that?) Anyways, “Who’s the black private dick? SHAFT!... Read More »
The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None. Personal Review: So, let me start by saying I don’t speak Dutch – but Google translate does tell me the song title of the first song roughly translates to “Farewell to Me, This is a New Beginning“, (UPDATE!: The translation is actually “This Farewell Means A New Start for Me“). Anyways... Read More »
The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None. Personal Review: So, Luie Luie… He’s mostly famous for creating the “Touchy“… Anyways, this is one of his lesser known singles. The A-Side is “Bump Me Baby“, so I’ll start there. So, the track basically isn’t like anything you’d expect from someone who looks like this, but you... Read More »
The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None. Personal Review: Okay, So David Box, for those who don’t know, he replaced Buddy Holly in the crickets after he died.
