| New Order - Power, Corruption & Lies
|
(Factory/MNW FACT-75 Swe-83 VG+ 375:-)
Arguably the most perfect record ever from New Order. The electronics are wonderful – definitely a few generations ahead of their time, especially in the way they realize all the north England experimentation of the time, but bring it into more tuneful territory – yet never without losing its edge.
Swedish pressing made by MNW; sleeve with die-cut holes on the back.

| New York Dolls - Too Much, Too Soon
|
(Mercury 6338.498 UK-74 VG+ 350:-)
The Dolls set the stage for Punk to turn rock 'n' roll on its head in the late '70s. Their wild, burly, cross-dressed image together with their rough-and-tumble sound created an unforgettable rock 'n' roll Style with a capital S.
The louder, clearer sound afforded by producer Shadow Morton makes the Dolls come on even brasher on their second and last album. "In Too Much Too Soon" finds their mix of aggression and humor intact - not just "in spite of" an increased reliance on covers, either, because David Johansen's taste in remakes expresses a lot about this music nut's crazed, loving worldview. Who else in '70s rock could make a wacked-out doo wop novelty like "Stranded in the Jungle" into an important personal statement?

| Next Morning - Next Morning
|
(Calla SC-2002 US-71 VG/VG+ 800:-)
Take four musicians from the Caribbean, relocate them to New York and start filling their heads with the Who, Chambers Brothers, Sly and the Family Stone and Jimi Hendrix. After they become the tightest and most talked about rock band in the city, have them cut their debut album in something like three hours.
This is the scenario of the Next Morning, a band of Caribbean immigrants who cut this amazing little piece of psychedelia around 1970 that literally drip with trippy, fuzzed over and phasey vibes. Another lost classic.

| Niagara - Classic German Rock Scene
|
(United Artists UAS-29.778/79XB Ger-75 VG+ 500:-)
German drummer Klaus Weiss started out in more conventional jazz during the 60s – but as the 70s moved in, he really found his groove – and opened up strongly in styles that were funky, spiritual, and sometimes hard to define!
That latter is definitely the case here – as Weiss leads an all-percussion session that does an amazing job of creating criss-crossing elements of rhythm and melody throughout!

| Nirvana - Nevermind
|
(DGC GEF-24425-8 EU-91 VG+ 1250:-)
A record that forever changed the face of mainstream music in the 90s – a set that showed that a group could come from the underground indie scene and manage to take over the rest of the world with a record that went on to become an instant classic for a generation!
Sonopress pressing with embossed 'bass clef' logo on B-Side label. inverted (upside-down) text & monkey image on the back side of the inner sleeve.
