The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None. Personal Review: So, João was (is) a Portuguese man, living in Montreal, QC and was working entertainment at a restaurant there. He released this single. Unfortunately, I don’t have the pic sleeve. The A-Side is “Sara” and it’s done on an accordion, and João’s vocals are actually really, really good, the... Read More »
The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None. Personal Review: So, originally when I was given this LP, I was under the impression I had no idea who this band was, or any of their work. Upon listening, I knew that I had heard the first track before. The album opens with “Life in a Northern Town”... Read More »
The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None. Personal Review: To me, this is Sheena Easton’s greatest song ever. The A-Side is the vocal version, and well, it’s pretty great. The piano playing, her vocals, everything about this song is absolutely fantastic, you would never even believe that this is the theme from a James Bond movie,... Read More »
The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None. Personal Review: I like Traci Lords as an actress, I’m sure she’s a very nice person too. But that album cover… why is she surrounded by anal beads? So, the album opens with the “Perfecto Mix” and it starts off alright, nothing overly bassy or techno sounding, but hey,... Read More »
The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None. Personal Review: This 45 came in a big box of records my landlord had given me. The A-Side is the theme from the Hockey team ‘Edmonton Oilers’, so therefore, the title is “The Edmonton Oilers Theme” – and well, it’s definitely a late 70’s – early 80’s sound. It’s... Read More »
The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None. Personal Review: I don’t really remember when I came to own this LP, I know it was during my first few months of collecting, and I know it was for the title track. The album opens with the track “Tonight” with Peter on lead vocals, and it seems to... Read More »
The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None. Personal Review: I think I got this one for the van on the cover, and the fact it says ‘Gospel’ – but it really isn’t gospel. So, the A-Side opens with “A Better Way” – and it’s a pretty rusty sounding bluesy Gospel track, the vocals are alright, and... Read More »
The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: “Sincerely dedicated to Darrell & Beverly Bledsoe. We determine the kind of music we listen to by the inward thoughts of the heat. Fix your thoughs on what is true, good and right. Think about things that are pure and lovely. The mysterious beauty of music is one of the... Read More »
The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None. Personal Review: So, I first got introduced to the music of Die Antwoord through their appearance in the movie “Chappie” (which is a really good movie by the way.) and after seeing the movie, I started checking out their songs, and one thing lead to another, here I am,...

The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: “ON JANUARY 18, 1956, A BLESSED EVENT HAPPENED IN THE HOME OF MR. AND MRS. JAMES (DINK) BENNETT. THAT WAS THE DAY THAT LITTLE REX BENNETT WAS BORN. REX WAS BORN WITH GLAUCOMA AND COULD NOT SEE. IN SPITE OF HIS BLINDNESS, GOD GAVE REX SOMETHING THAT HE COULD USE... Read More »
