Everybody's Rockin'
Used - LP - GHS 4013
1983 US Quiex II pressing; promo sticker has peeled off from bottom right area. In "Everybody's Rockin'" is yet another unexpected detour for Neil Young, this time into the rockabilly genre, crafting a concise album that both honors and pastiches the classic sounds of the 1950s. Released in 1983, the record is a spirited homage to a bygone era, brimming with energetic rhythms, slap-back echo, and twangy guitar licks. Young, ever the musical chameleon, embraces the rockabilly persona with both sincerity and a touch of irony, delivering tracks that range from the upbeat and catchy "Betty Lou's Got a New Pair of Shoes" to the more introspective "Wonderin'." The album, clocking in at just under 25 minutes, is a nod to the simplicity and directness of early rock 'n' roll, yet it also carries an undercurrent of Young's characteristic restlessness and genre-defying tendencies. ...

Live 1980 / 86
Used - LP - SP 6706
1988 US 2LP original pressed on 100% Pure Virgin Vinyl. "A double-disc live collection, Live...1980-1986 manages to effectively trace the development of Joe Jackson's diverse career. Drawing from four different periods in the songwriter's career -- with each period featuring a new backing band -- Live captures Jackson with his original new wave trio, a 1983 quintet that was dominated by keyboards, a horn-driven group from 1984, and a 1986 quartet that specialized in straight-ahead rock & roll. The resulting album highlights his musical diversity, not his songwriting, which means the record is more intriguing as a historical document than as casual listening."

A Momentary Lapse Of Reason
Used - LP - OC 40599
1987 Gatefold Original With Custom printed lyric inner sleeve. "Direct Metal Mastering & Precision" Stampers. "A Momentary Lapse of Reason," released in 1987, marked a significant chapter in the storied history of Pink Floyd. Following the departure of Roger Waters, the album was predominantly helmed by David Gilmour, who sought to rejuvenate the band's sound while navigating the pressures of their legacy. The record leans heavily on the intricate guitar work of Gilmour and the expansive production techniques that have become synonymous with the band's aesthetic. Opening with "Signs of Life," the album sets a contemplative tone that is punctuated by standout tracks like "Learning to Fly" and "On the Turning Away." These songs showcase a return to a more melodic structure, drawing on the band's strengths in creating atmospheric soundscapes that are both introspective and grandiose.
Critically, "A Momentary Lapse of Reason" has often been viewed as a transitional work, bridging the classic Pink Floyd sound with the burgeoning digital production styles of the late '80s. While some skeptics argue that the album lacks the conceptual depth of their previous works, it is undeniable that the record captures a rejuvenated energy that resonates with the core elements of Pink Floyd's identity. The lush instrumentation, combined with Gilmour's evocative vocal delivery, offers a sense of continuity with the band's past while embracing the technological advancements in music production. In retrospect, the album can be seen as an essential stepping stone that allowed Pink Floyd to continue their evolution, maintaining their relevance in a rapidly changing musical landscape. ...
