It was around 1975 when I first learned about KISS. My friend Paul Pearson had a copy of KISS ALIVE! Which was a double LP concert recording with this unreal gatefold cover that featured these four dudes in kabuki grease paint on their faces, breathing fire, spitting...

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....

This one, is simply about as nice as a copy of anything gets. There are almost zero imperfections on it anywhere – -it is in truly stunning shape. I would not be surprised if it never got played, or only got played a couple times – -looks brand new in...

This record is in great shape overall, but there is some slight damage due to moisture, that you can see in the front and especially the back cover. On the front cover and in the left side of the gatefold, there is some discoloration – while on the back cover,...

Ah, the beloved 45. I absolutely adore them – I have tons and tons, and I look for them all the time. I would be hard pressed to say I prefer one kind of vinyl over all the others, but 45s are certainly up there for me in that regard. It simply doesn’t get...

Here are the labels, and a video clip of one side of this 45. Sorry for the video quality – it was not ideal, being shot on my phone. But the record is in great shape…it sounds really good, both sides. Buy this single on Discogs or Contact Marty to...

As I was flipping thru the stacks sorting stuff, I saw this record in there. I had not heard it for a while, so I grabbed it, and flipped it on. If you are not familiar with this guy, he is mostly known for being a producer of some really big records in the late...
