| Ramones - Beat from the Street
|
(Rock Around The World 109 US-7? EX 375:-)
The Ramones are the first punk rock band. By cutting rock & roll down to its bare essentials -- four chords; a simple, catchy melody; and irresistibly inane lyrics -- and speeding up the tempo considerably, the Ramones created something that was rooted in early '60s, pre-Beatles rock & roll and pop but sounded revolutionary.
This bootleg is shared with Martha Velez; the Ramones were recorded August 12, 1976 at the Roxy, Los Angeles, CA.
Original US pressing; the cue-sheet is missing.

| Ramones - It's Alive
|
(Sire RAM LIVE Nor-79 VG+ 350:-)
Prime live material from the Ramones - recorded in London on New Year's Eve 1977, right when the group was at the height of their power! If you ever got a chance to see The Ramones back in the day, the sound was really amazing - every bit as short, sharp, and focused as the studio records - but even more so, as the group would work through their set list with razor-sharp intensity, almost this juggernaut of punk rock sound that never lets up from start to finish! That quality is definitely in place here, as the whole thing tears through an incredible set list!

| Residents - Eskimo
|
(Ralph ESK-7906 US-79 VG+ 275:-)
The Residents are known for their multitude of concept albums, their ambitious multimedia, audiovisual and stage projects, and the mystery surrounding the identities of its members.
Often considered a landmark release in The Residents' catalog, "Eskimo" consists of a series of acoustic landscapes designed to be listened to while reading the accompanying short stories in the album's liner notes.

A pioneer in in the field of electronic music, Hans-Joachim Roedelius is considered one of the founders of contemporary popular electronic music.
"Lustwandel" is an amazing experimental atmospheric effort from Roedelius, a master of the art. He uses gentle acoustics and silence as integral elements of his sound design. The sound is distinct and fresh - only Roedelius can sound like this.

| Rolling Stones - From the Vault: Marquee Club
|
(Rolling Stones ERDVLP086 EU-15 NM 600:-)
Few partnerships in rock 'n' roll have been as productive as the collaboration between Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, and of course having wunderkind Brian Jones along did nothing to hinder the Rolling Stones' popularity. From the get-go, the band played the raunchy, gritty doppelganger to the Beatles' dandified Merseybeat pop.
Limited Vinyl pressing including bonus DVD. The "Marquee Live In 1971" was filmed at the legendary London club on March 26th 1971, about a month before the release of the "Sticky Fingers" album in late April. Mick Taylor was now fully integrated into the group and the band had used the tour to showcase some of the tracks from the forthcoming album.

| Rolling Stones - Some Girls
|
(Rolling Stones ESS-81050 Jap-78 EX 350:-)
Few partnerships in rock 'n' roll have been as productive as the collaboration between Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, and of course having wunderkind Brian Jones along did nothing to hinder the Rolling Stones' popularity. From the get-go, the band played the raunchy, gritty doppelganger to the Beatles' dandified Merseybeat pop.
"Some Girls" is way more than the disco cash-in some folks thought at the time – and a surprisingly classic set that perfectly sums up the late 70s Stones ethos – and, in a way, the vibe of a changing New York!

| Roxy Music - Country Life
|
(Island ILPS-9303 UK-74 VG+ 300:-)
The fourth album from Roxy Music – a brilliant statement of their early genius through and through!
The album has the group moving strongly past the Eno years, into a tighter framework that still contains many of the darker themes of earlier records. Ferry's lead vocals are incredibly majestic and the group's tight blend of reeds, guitar, and moody keyboards gives the whole album an off-kilter sense of instrumentation that really sets it apart from the pack. There's an artfulness here that's never overdone, and the whole thing comes together with a magic that's impossible to describe, but which is Roxy at their best.
