	Avalanche Used - LP - CQ 33088 1974 Quadraphonic original. Mountain’s album “Avalanche,” released in 1974, stands as the final studio album from the original era of the pioneering American hard rock band. Recorded after a brief hiatus, this record marked the return of bassist and vocalist Felix Pappalardi to the group, rejoining founding guitarist Leslie West and drummer Corky Laing. “Avalanche” features a mix of new material and covers, notably including Mountain’s rendition of “Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On,” reflecting the band’s blues and rock roots. The album also introduced rhythm guitarist David Perry to the lineup, offering a fuller sound compared to earlier releases. Viewed from a historical perspective, “Avalanche” arrives at a transitional moment in rock music, as the early 1970s hard rock scene began to evolve and fragment. While Mountain’s earlier albums, particularly “Climbing!” and “Nantucket Sleighride,” had solidified their reputation for heavy, riff-driven rock, “Avalanche” captured the band’s attempt to recapture their original energy amidst changing musical landscapes. Despite some positive reception for tracks like “Sister Justice” and “You Better Believe It,” the album did not achieve the commercial or critical heights of their previous works. Nevertheless, “Avalanche” remains a testament to the band’s musicianship and persistent influence on the development of hard rock and proto-metal, closing out Mountain’s classic era before the group would part ways again. ... more
	Tattoo You Used - LP - COC 16052 1981 US original Monarch pressing with original inner sleeve. Some light surface noise, but a strong listen."Like Emotional Rescue before it, Tattoo You was comprised primarily of leftovers, but unlike its predecessor, it never sounds that way. Instead, Tattoo You captures the Stones at their best as a professional stadium-rock band. Divided into a rock & roll side and a ballad side, the album delivers its share of thrills on the tight, dynamic first side. "Start Me Up" became the record's definitive Stonesy rocker, but the frenzied doo wop of "Hang Fire," the reggae jam of "Slave," the sleazy Chuck Berry rockers "Little T&A" and "Neighbours," and the hard blues of "Black Limousine" are all terrific. The ballad side suffers in comparison, especially since "Heaven" and "No Use in Crying" are faceless. But "Worried About You" and "Tops" are effortless, excellent ballads, and "Waiting on a Friend," with its Sonny Rollins sax solo, is an absolute masterpiece, with a moving lyric that captures Jagger in a shockingly reflective and affecting state of mind. "Waiting on a Friend" and the vigorous rock & roll of the first side make Tattoo You an essential latter-day Stones album, ranking just a few notches below Some Girls."

	Wild Things Run Fast Used - LP - GHS 2019 1983 Original Housed In A Gatefold Cover. A TAS Superdisc LP. Released in 1982, "Wild Things Run Fast" marked a significant turning point in Joni Mitchell’s career, both musically and personally. After a decade noted for her innovative folk and jazz explorations, Mitchell shifted toward a more mainstream pop and rock sound on this album. The record was heavily influenced by contemporary artists and genres, including elements of new wave and synth-driven pop that were prominent in the early 1980s. Mitchell was inspired by watching MTV, leading her to pursue a fresher, more current approach in songwriting and production. This evolution was partly facilitated by collaborations with musicians like Larry Klein, who played bass and soon became her husband, as well as the involvement of other notable artists like Michael Landau and Vinnie Colaiuta. ... more
	Against The Wind Used - LP - SOO-12041 1980 Original, Includes Custom Inner Sleeve. Solid VG++ copy. Released in February 1980, "Against The Wind" stands as a pivotal album in Bob Seger’s discography and the broader landscape of American rock. The record was Seger's eleventh studio album and third with the Silver Bullet Band, following the massive successes of "Night Moves" and "Stranger in Town." It was recorded at multiple venues, including Criteria Studios in Miami and Sound Suite Studios in Detroit, and featured contributions from members of the Silver Bullet Band as well as the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section. The title track, "Against the Wind," reached number five on the Billboard Hot 100, while the album overall spent six weeks at number one on the Billboard 200, bolstered by hits like "Fire Lake" and "You'll Accomp'ny Me." ... more
	Animal Logic Used - LP - IRS-82020 1989 Original in shrink with hype sticker & inner sleeve. Animal Logic's self-titled debut album, released in 1989, marked the formation of a distinctive supergroup comprised of Stewart Copeland, the drummer from The Police, bass player Stanley Clarke, jazz guitarist Michael Thompson, and accomplished singer-songwriter Deborah Holland. The project emerged after Copeland’s post-Police explorations and was notable for uniting musicians from varied backgrounds, blending pop-rock with elements of jazz and sophisticated songwriting. The band recorded the album in Los Angeles. Animal Logic's unique makeup attracted attention for merging Copeland’s rhythmic inventiveness with Holland’s introspective lyrics and Clarke's Jazzy bass work. Animal Logic stood apart in the late 1980s music landscape, which was dominated by synth-pop and burgeoning alternative rock. The album delivered singles like "There's a Spy (In the House of Love)" that showcased their ability to craft accessible songs with intricate musicianship. Despite its relatively brief time in the spotlight, Animal Logic remains a noteworthy collaboration that highlighted the continued creative ambitions of its members and contributed a sophisticated, genre-blending record to the era's pop-rock canon. ... more
	In Concert Part 2 Used - LP - VSD-2123 1963 Stereo black label pressing in laminate cover. "Joan Baez in Concert, Part 2" was released in November 1963 as the follow-up to her earlier live album, capturing performances recorded during her 1963 concert tours. By this time, Baez had already established herself as a leading voice in the American folk revival, and this album showcases her evolving repertoire as she began incorporating more contemporary material alongside traditional folk songs. Notably, it features her first officially released cover of Bob Dylan’s "Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right," highlighting the growing artistic connection between the two influential artists. The album’s setlist balances well-known traditional ballads, like "We Shall Overcome" and "The Banks of the Ohio," with newer protest songs, reflecting the shifting social and political landscape of the early 1960s. ... more
	Never A Dull Moment Used - LP - SRM-1-646 1972 US original Santa Maria pressing. Housed in a clean textured, spine-loading gatefold. Includes original Mercury Records catalogue form card. A textured jacket rarely seen so damage-free. "Essentially A Harder-Rocking Reprise Of Every Picture Tells A Story, Never A Dull Moment Never Quite Reaches The Heights Of Its Predecessor, But It's A Wonderful, Multi-faceted Record In Its Own Right. Opening With The Touching, Autobiographical Rocker "True Blue," Which Finds Rod Stewart Trying To Come To Grips With His Newfound Stardom But Concluding That He'd "Rather Be Back Home," The Record Is The Last Of Stewart's Series Of Epic Fusions Of Hard Rock And Folk. It's Possible To Hear Stewart Go For Superstardom With The Hard-rocking Kick And Fat Electric Guitars Of The Album, But The Songs Still Cut To The Core. "You Wear It Well" Is A "Maggie May" Rewrite On The Surface, But It Develops Into A Touching Song About Being Emotionally Inarticulate. Similarly, "Lost Paraguayos" Is Funny, Driving Folk-rock, And It's Hard Not To Be Swept Away When The Stonesy Hard Rocker "Italian Girls" Soars Into A Mandolin-Driven Coda. The Covers -- Whether A Soulful Reading Of Jimi Hendrix's "Angel," An Empathetic Version Of Dylan's "Mama, You Been On My Mind," Or A Stunning Interpretation Of Etta James' "I'd Rather Go Blind" -- Are Equally Effective, Making Never A Dull Moment A Masterful Record. He Never Got Quite This Good Ever Again." All Music Guide – Stephen Thomas Erlewine. ... more
