	Field Day Used - LP - 1-23873 1983 original, Allied pressing. Glossy, NM- vinyl. "Marshall Crenshaw's 1982 debut album was the sort of instant classic that some musicians secretly fear making: no matter what they do, following up a near-perfect introduction is going to let someone down, and if you can't decisively top it, you get accused of the dreaded "sophomore slump." Rather than try to recreate the crisp, timeless pop perfection of Marshall Crenshaw, Crenshaw teamed with producer Steve Lillywhite for 1983's Field Day, where he aimed for a dirtier, more roomy sound that better reflected how he and his band sounded onstage. To a very real extent, they succeeded, but they also captured the sound of Crenshaw playing in a huge room lacking acoustical treatment; the huge, echo-laden sound and crashing drums of Field Day rubbed many fans and critics the wrong way, and some have cited it as the moment when Crenshaw's rising career momentum hit a major speed bump. Heard decades after the fact, Lillywhite's mix still puts too much emphasis on Robert Crenshaw's drums, but listen past that and you'll hear an album full of great songs, clever wit, potent guitar playing, killer basslines and harmonies from Chris Donato, and a lively, committed feel that flatters Crenshaw and his band. If anything, Crenshaw had grown as a songwriter in the year that separated the debut and Field Day: "Whenever You're on My Mind" is essentially a perfect pop song, but "Our Town" isn't afraid to add a bit of shade to its sunshine, and "Monday Morning Rock" and "Hold It" are mature works that deal with more complex, grown-up emotions without sacrificing Crenshaw's melodic genius. Field Day wasn't a crowd-pleasing pop masterpiece like Marshall Crenshaw, but it's also a more ambitious and complex work that rewards careful listening. Get past the drums and you'll hear something very special." All Music Guide - Mark Deming ... more

	The Stooges Used Import - 42 032 1972 French import with shrink. "The Stooges," the debut album by the American rock band The Stooges, was released in 1969. This seminal record is often credited with laying the groundwork for the punk rock movement that would emerge in the following decade. Produced by John Cale of The Velvet Underground, the album features a raw, stripped-down sound that was unconventional for its time. The band's lineup for this album included Iggy Pop on vocals, Ron Asheton on guitar, Dave Alexander on bass, and Scott Asheton on drums. The music is characterized by its heavy guitar riffs, primal rhythms, and Iggy Pop's distinctive vocal style, which conveys a blend of apathy and aggression. The album consists of eight tracks, including standout songs like "I Wanna Be Your Dog" and "1969," which capture the rebellious spirit and gritty edge that became synonymous with The Stooges. Despite receiving mixed reviews upon its initial release, "The Stooges" has since been recognized for its influence on the development of punk and alternative rock. The album's raw energy and minimalist approach challenged the prevailing norms of the late 1960s rock scene, setting the stage for a new era in music. Over the years, the album has garnered a cult following and is celebrated for its pioneering role in shaping the sound and attitude of future rock genres. ... more

	In Person New - LP - F 8352 Sealed Full Radial Stereo Housed In A Laminated Jacket. What a Great Pianist! Also Features Eddie Duran, Guitar; Benny Velarde, Scratcher; Fred Marshall, Bass And Colin Bailey, Drums. Known for his distinctive and lyrical piano style, Guaraldi delivers a remarkable performance that captures the essence of his live gigs during this period. The album features a selection of tracks that highlight his ability to blend melodic jazz with a touch of bossa nova and Latin influences. A follow-up to his surprise hit album Jazz Impressions of Black Orpheus, this is Guaraldi at his most winning, alternating between a straight jazz trio and the fast bossa nova groove of a Latin-ized quintet. Nothing fancy, just irresistible melodic swinging in either format, although it is the bossa treatments that particularly grab the listener's heart and feet. Best in the set are "Outra Vez," where Guaraldi calmly savors Jobim's beguiling harmonies on top of a frantic bossa beat, and Guaraldi's own quirky tune "Freeway." Mostly recorded in a club setting, this is a defining album for Guaraldi in his natural habitat. AMG ... more
