The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None. Personal Review: So, this one is quite the interesting one, mainly because I know a guy who played in the band – who unfortunately is not on the album. So, here we go! The album opens with the song “Hot Dog Saturday Night” and it’s definitely an interesting song,... Read More »
The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None. Personal Review: I know the Dire Straits from their song “Money for Nothing” (featured on this album.) and their amazing musicianship.

The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: “When I began to choose the songs for this album, they sounded so easy that I foolishly supposed that recording them would be a breeze. I have never been more wrong. The songs are not easy, they’re simple-plain, honest, simple – and I very quickly found out that is the... Read More »
The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None. Personal Review: Numerous times I’ve passed this record up at two Salvation Army’s and one Value Village – usually it was either because I was over my limit on what I could purchase, or just had a lot more interesting albums – or that one time where I told...

The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None. Personal Review: This is the one Adam Ant song that got me into loving Adam Ant as much as I do, though I really don’t have as much Adam Ant in my collection as I’d like to – I do have every album digitally. So, the A-Side opens with... Read More »
The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: “Many thanks to all the fine artists who kindly donated their time and effort in the making of this record” Personal Review: Bob Geldof’s wonderfully produced Christmas song for Ethiopia. The song opens with that drum noise thing, and then Paul Young singing, I like Paul Young, but why Bob... Read More »
The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: “Don’t blame it on me… And… “Just like the white white winged dove”. This music is dedicated to Robin – for her brave, wild heart And to the gypsies – that remain…” Personal Review: Everyone knows Stevie Nicks for her contribution to Fleetwood Mac and music in general, this is...

The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None. Personal Review: I’ve always loved INXS. As far back as I can remember I always have. I even remember the long drives where I would play INXS’s Greatest Hits on CD in the back. Memories. So, this album opens with my all time favorite INXS song, “Original Sin” and... Read More »
The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None. Personal Review: We’re not gonna get into the whole George Michael / Washroom scandal thing… on this review. BUT, let’s just have a nice little chat about how this is a Mexican pressing, I still have no idea where I found it, when I found it, or if I’ve... Read More »
The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None. Personal Review: I remember the first time I ever heard this album, I loved it. Apparently it’s also highly sought after by die-hard Daryl Hall fans.

The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None. Personal Review: I know like nothing about Mel Tillis, I acquired this LP through a box of records given to me by a family friend who had been having an estate sale.

The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None. Personal Review: When I saw this album at the thrift store, I kinda had to buy it due to the fact it’s Paul Weller AFTER the Jam, and I’ve only heard a couple of the Style Council’s songs, but I did like what I heard, and I loved the... Read More »
The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None. Personal Review: Elizabeth Daily to me will always be known for her songs “I’m Hot Tonight” and “Shake It Up” – and like, they’re great. So, the A-Side is the extended mix, so I’m gonna listen. So, it goes in with that cheesy 80’s tambourines, then some piano and... Read More »
