	The Lady In The Balcony: Lockdown Sessions Box Set - 3837223 Sealed 2021 Deluxe edition DVD & CD in a 40 page photobook. Includes 14 acoustic performances of old and new material. Features Steve Gadd, Chris Stainton and Nathan East. "The Lady in the Balcony: Lockdown Sessions" by Eric Clapton emerges as a poignant testament to the resilience of creativity amidst the global constraints of the COVID-19 pandemic. Channeling the intimate ambience of an unplugged session, Clapton and his band retreated to Cowdray House in West Sussex, capturing a raw and unvarnished performance that harkens back to the essence of classic blues and acoustic rock. The album, recorded without an audience, features stripped-down renditions of Clapton's iconic catalogue, alongside revered blues standards. The absence of elaborate production allows Clapton's emotive guitar work and weathered vocals to take center stage, providing a refreshing clarity and intimacy that feels both nostalgic and immediate. The record's title, "The Lady in the Balcony," is a nod to Clapton's wife, Melia, who, as the sole observer, anchors the collection with a sense of personal connection and warmth. Renowned critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine might note Clapton's adept ability to make the well-trodden paths of "Layla" and "Tears in Heaven" feel newly poignant, as if rediscovered through the lens of solitude and reflection. The album's minimalist approach highlights Clapton's enduring prowess and sensitivity, echoing the sentiment that even in isolation, music can bridge distance and uplift the spirit. Far from a mere pandemic project, this collection stands as a testament to Clapton's legacy, reassuring longtime fans while inviting newcomers into his world of blues-infused introspection. ... more
	Pornography Used Import - FIXD 7 1982 UK Vinyl With Custom Inner Sleeve. Top seam split. "Pornography" is as a dark, brooding opus that marks a pivotal moment in the band's evolution. Released in 1982, the album is often hailed as the culmination of The Cure's early gothic phase—a dense and oppressive soundscape that captures the band's exploration of despair and existential angst. Robert Smith's haunting vocals and the relentless, driving percussion create an atmosphere of claustrophobic intensity, making it clear that this record is not for the faint of heart. With tracks like "One Hundred Years" and the title track "Pornography," the band delves into themes of alienation and nihilism, crafting a sonic experience that is as unsettling as it is compelling. ... more

	The Joshua Tree Used Import - 5749844 2019 30th Anniversary 2LP Gatefold Remastered Reissue, Pressed On Heavyweight Vinyl. Gold Hype Sticker On Shrink, Made In Germany. "Using The Textured Sonics Of The Unforgettable Fire As A Basis, U2 Expanded Those Innovations By Scaling Back The Songs To A Personal Setting And Adding A Grittier Attack For Its Follow-up, The Joshua Tree. It's A Move That Returns Them To The Sweeping, Anthemic Rock Of War, But If War Was An Exploding Political Bomb, The Joshua Tree Is A Journey Through Its Aftermath, Trying To Find Sense And Hope In The Desperation. That Means That Even The Anthems -- The Epic Opener "Where The Streets Have No Name," The Yearning "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" -- Have Seeds Of Doubt Within Their Soaring Choruses, And Those Fears Take Root Throughout The Album, Whether It's In The Mournful Sliding Acoustic Guitars Of "Running To Stand Still," The Surging "One Tree Hill," Or The Hypnotic Elegy "Mothers Of The Disappeared." So It Might Seem A Little Ironic That U2 Became Superstars On The Back Of Such A Dark Record, But Their Focus Has Never Been Clearer, Nor Has Their Music Been Catchier, Than On The Joshua Tree. Unexpectedly, U2 Have Also Tempered Their Textural Post-punk With American Influences. Not Only Are Bono's Lyrics Obsessed With America, But Country And Blues Influences Are Heard Throughout The Record, And Instead Of Using These As Roots, They're Used As Ways To Add Texture To The Music. With The Uniformly Excellent Songs -- Only The Clumsy, Heavy Rock And Portentous Lyrics Of "Bullet The Blue Sky" Fall Flat -- The Result Is A Powerful, Uncompromising Record That Became A Hit Due To Its Vision And Its Melody. Never Before Have U2's Big Messages Sounded So Direct And Personal." All Music Guide - Stephen Thomas Erlewine. ... more
