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 was trying to figure out what to write about, regarding KISS. There are so many albums, and songs, and shows, and everything else that the possibilities were/are simply endless. Would it be something about their records? Would I delve into my personal fetish for...

This is a record I had stashed in my own piles of stuff – from back when I worked in a record store. We got it then, as an import when it was released – I took all the imports when I left the company in like 1989…this, among them. I never played it....

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 classic is in pretty great shape overall – I have played the whole thing recently, and thought it sounded great. There is a slight bit of damage to the spine – it is pictured below. The inner was splitting a little, so I put the record in a new, plain...
