"...young men who spend their
time looking for deleted Smiths singles and original, not re-released,
underlined!, Frank Zappa albums."- Rob Gordon- High Fidelity
I am not one of those kind of
record collectors. I buy what I play and I search out those things
that have meaning to me. Here are some examples...
|
 |
This album has been in my
possession for as long as my memory stretches. |
 |
This album
was the first album I ever bought with my own money. I was about
7. |
 |
A brilliant American Mod Revival
band, I did the bio on
The Secret Service
for Allmusic.com. |
 |
This is probably the most
valuable album in my collection. |
 |
The debut of Wall of Voodoo. |
 |
Thanks to the movie Rushmore,
the Creation enjoyed a new found popularity. |
 |
Sweet Dreams Are Made of This
picture disc. Funny story about this record. Don't ask. |
 |
I got this as a gift, from my
ex-brother-in-law, who is a real record collector. |
 |
This is an English pressing of
the Who's first album, released as The Who Sings My Generation in the
US, with a different cover and a different track order. A friend
got it for me while in London. |
 |
I bought Big Country's The
Crossing when I was living in Cheyenne Wyoming. It saved my sanity
while I was there. |
 |
Big Country's Buffalo Skinners
is the only CD I have here, but as you can see it's signed by the band.
I still mourn Stuart Adamson. |
 |
This may possibly the perfect
album- from beginning to end. |
 |
Snap is a great 2 record
set with the best of the Jam. |
 |
Heh... Martini Ranch.
Bill Paxton's band when he was just starting out. I love Bill
Paxton. |
 |
This Burning Sensations album
contains yet another of my theme songs- Belly of the Whale. |
 |
I had to buy this. Sorry |
 |
The Selector's Too Much
Pressure... at long last I found you.... |
 |
I didn't even know this existed-
I thought Too Shy was just a single- and then... BLAMO |
 |
The (English) Beat is the band
that really got me into ska. I remember seeing the video for I
Confess, and I was hooked. I also remember going into JB&H records
in Lakewood and looking for more ska. They looked at me like I was
nutso. |
 |
Play Party at Ground Zero
anytime the floor empties. It will fill. Learn it, know it,
live it. |
 |
My parents bought this album
when the saw The Astronauts at Tulagis in Boulder. It was 1966. |
 |
This album is the one that
marked Paul Revere and the Raiders as true stars. |
 |
Just a great band.
|
 |
I got this is a collection of
pure junk. I was about to discard the whole mess, when all of a
sudden... |
 |
The Style Councils first album. |
 |
Mutiny Now's Jack Jenson gave me
this record. I was the only person who knew who the Stranglers
were. I didn't have the cash for this, so he put it in my bag as I
was leaving. |
 |
Ok, so it's just a list of my
collection. I'm a librarian. It's what I do. |
|
 |
The DEVO Collection...
another list. |
 |
NERDS! Yet another list |
