The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None. Personal Review: So, I know of the Pretenders for basically one song – and that song is this. So, here is to broadening my Pretenders song knowledge!

The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None. Personal Review: I don’t know much about Paul Young, he was in Band Aid and sings that song “Why Don’t You Come Back” – that’s about it. Anyways, the album opens with the song “Bite the Hand that Feeds” which is a pretty good way to kick off the... Read More »
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 with the song “Rescue Me”... Read More »

The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None. Personal Review: I don’t know nothing about Peter, or this album. I solely know of it’s existence because the track, “Major Tom” is #68 on VH1’s One Hit Wonders of the 80’s.

It’s then followed by another... Read More »

The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None. Personal Review: So basically, everyone knows this song from two places, the first and most primary being the soundtrack to the 1983 film, “Scarface” – the second, where I first (and most people my age) heard the song was the video game Grand Theft Auto III, which featured almost...

The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None. Personal Review: I know nothing about this band, except their Canadian, from Edmonton Alberta and that like, there’s a wet girl on the cover.

The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None. Personal Review: Bob Geldof is genius. Enough said. The album opens with the track “A Hold of Me” – which is an amazing track and you could solely base a whole album off of it.
