| Damn Yankees - Damn Yankees
|
(Warner Bros 7599-26159-1 Ger-90 VG+ 375:-)
This was the eponymous debut album by the American hard rock supergroup Damn Yankees. A hard rock record that was extremely popular back in its day and one that has surprisingly not faded into obscurity, unlike a lot of its competition at the time.
It is also notable for being the album that revived the popular career of guitarist Ted Nugent.

| Def Leppard - Hysteria
|
(Bludgeon Riffola HYSPD-1 UK-88 VG+ 400:-)
Probably Def Leppard's best album, and certainly their most successful. "Hysteria" pretty much sums up 80s hard rock: catchy, tuneful, and fun. It's also one of the few albums from the period that doesn't sound dated now.
UK picture disc in a diecut sleeve.

| Devo - Q: Are we not Men?
|
(Virgin VP2106 UK-79 EX 375:-)
This is one of best art rock albums of all time – the Eno produced full length debut of Devo – the caustic, sarcastic and fun soundtrack to society's devolution! There's nothing we don't love about Devo at this point, from their unprecedented use of multimedia, to the hard to pull off fusion of sneering social and pop culture satire with good humored fun, and that's just the conceptual stuff. The songs are original and inimitably great, too, with those squeeling synth punk dynamics.
Issued in a die-cut sleeve with bonus flexi-disc "Flimsy Wrap".

| Dion - Born to be with You
|
(Phil Spector Intl 2307.002 UK-75 VG+ 400:-)
Dion Francis DiMucci first hit it big while singing lead for Bronx doo-woppers the Belmonts, a group credited as being one of the best and most innovative Doo-Wop groups of the era.
This is a great album that shows the continuing evolution of Dion's mind-blowing growth as a singer/songwriter during the decade. Produced by Phil Spector – handled in a hip early 70s LA kind of mode – with a trace of sadness that cuts through the mix.

| Doors - Absolutely Live
|
(Elektra EKS-9002 US-70 VG+ 400:-)
The excitement Jim Morrison elicits nearly thirty years after his death is just one of the many fascinating and seemingly eternal aspects of the Doors. What is so distinctive about the Los Angeles monster group is how the musicians -- especially the multifaceted Ray Manzarek -- successfully melded rock, jazz-inspired improvisation, and Weill-esque angularity into dramatic settings for Morrison's haunting baritone and acid-damaged poetry.
This 2LP set was recorded predominantly at the Felt Forum in New York City on January 17 and 18, 1970, but with scattered tracks from the bands other 1970 shows. Arguably the biggest selling point of the album at the time of its release was the inclusion of 'Celebration of the Lizard', which had failed to materialize properly as a studio track but remained part of the band’s live sets, but there were several more songs which had never before appeared on a Doors album up to that point.

| Dylan, Bob - Life Sentence
|
(Audifön RZ-004 [bootleg] VG+ 500:-)
Bob Dylan is on the short list of the most influential artists of the 20th Century. He coupled a love for all forms of American popular and folk music with a personal and poetic songwriting style instead of relying on professional craftsmen or standard tunes.
The 'Bob Dylan World Tour 1978'’s first leg consisted of seven consecutive nights at the Los Angeles Universal Amphitheater. This double album presents 3 sides from the second show on June 2 and the last side from the end of the last night on June 7.
