Here are the images of the half-speed master recording of Michaels Jackson’s wonderful Thriller LP. I apologize for the reflection of my ceiling fan on the wax, but it does show that it is nice and shiny, and not all full of track marks or anything nasty. If you...

OK – a total classic here for sale. This is referred to as the Butcher Cover in Second State – and it is a fine one indeed. A mono recording of Yesterday and Today, this one plays absolutely brilliantly – I am listening to it now, as I am typing...

OK – what we have here, are 2 different copies of Tuck and Patti’s LP, Tears of Joy on Windham Hill Records. Both of them appear to be label promos, and it makes sense, as I was managing a record store when it was released, and Windham was big on sending...

I am not ashamed or afraid to admit: I have been a Kiss fan for a VERY long time. Sure, there were many years in there where I didn’t like them much or appreciate what they were doing – but over my lifetime, there is no denying the huge impact these guys...

Let’s face it. . .before you knew what exploitation was or even what the word meant, you loved being exploited. All the toys, the cereal, the movies, the lunchboxes. . .wow. And your parents, God bless them. Even if they were savvy enough to see what was going...

Quick thought on something ridiculous. . .why didn’t the Hooters sue the living crap out of Hootie and the Slowkids I mean Blowfish. Grapple with this for at least ten seconds and then go buy a real record that’s not by either one of these bands....
