	Sunnyvista Used Import - CHR 1247 1979 Original UK pressing. "Sunnyvista" was the penultimate studio album from the British folk-rock duo Richard and Linda Thompson.

	Nashville Skyline Used - LP - KCS 9825 1969 360 Stereo Original With Shrink Wrap Intact. 1J/1H Stampers. Features Johnny Cash, Norman Blake, Charlie Daniels And Others. "Nashville Skyline" marked a striking stylistic shift for Bob Dylan, both musically and vocally. After years of acclaimed folk and rock records, Dylan fully embraced country music, recording the album in Nashville with a cadre of seasoned country session musicians, including Charlie McCoy and Pete Drake. The album’s smooth, warm sound stood in contrast to the rougher edges of his earlier work, and Dylan's voice appeared gentler and surprisingly mellow, a result attributed both to a temporary change in his singing technique and rumored cessation of smoking. The record’s opening track, a duet with Johnny Cash on “Girl from the North Country,” symbolized Dylan’s bridging of folk, rock, and country traditions, and further cemented the album’s place in the late 1960s country-rock movement. Historically, "Nashville Skyline" arrived at a pivotal moment in American music, when cross-genre experimentation was thriving. The album’s commercial success—reaching No. 3 on the US Billboard 200—helped legitimize Nashville’s reputation as a creative hub beyond its country roots. Songs like “Lay Lady Lay” achieved widespread radio play, bringing Dylan’s new sound to an even broader audience. While some early fans were surprised or even alienated by this departure, critics and musicians alike acknowledged the album’s influence. Its impact can be traced through the subsequent rise of country rock and the opening of Nashville to a wider array of artists, underscoring Dylan’s ongoing role as a musical innovator. ... more

	Built For Speed Used - LP - St 517070 1982 Original. "In 1982, The Unexpected Success Of The Stray Cats' American Debut, Built For Speed, Made America Aware That Rockabilly, Previously Believed To Be Extinct, Was Actually Alive And Well Somewhere In New Jersey (Though The Evidence Had To Be Taken To England Before Anyone Would Notice). Pulling Together Six Songs From The Stray Cats' Self-titled Debut, Five Tunes From The Follow-up Gonna Ball, And One Previously Unreleased Number (The Title Song), Built For Speed Is Song-For-Song The Group's Strongest Album, Despite The Cut-And-Paste Manner In Which It Was Created. Originality Was Never This Band's Strongest Suit, And As Songwriters The Stray Cats Rarely Wandered Far From The Traditional Themes Of Cars, Girls, Rockin', And Their Own Level Of Coolness, But Brian Setzer's Fleet-Fingered Guitar Work Revealed That He'd Absorbed The Lessons Of Cliff Gallup, James Burton, And Scotty Moore And Constructed An Impressive And Colorful Style Of His Own From The Parts, While Lee Rocker And Slim Jim Phantom Were An Admirably Potent And Appropriately Uncluttered Rhythm Section (The Clean, Streamlined Production, By Dave Edmunds On Most Cuts, Also Helped Quite A Bit). If The Group's Songs Haven't All Worn The Test Of Time Especially Well, The Melodies Are Strong And The Playing Is Tight And Enthusiastic Throughout. While You're Better Off With A Good Collection From Gene Vincent, Eddie Cochran, Or Charlie Feathers, There Are A Lot Worse Ways You Could Learn About Rockabilly Than To Pick Up Built For Speed -- Which Is A Good Thing, Since If You Were Born After 1965, Chances Are It Was Where You Learned About Rockabilly."

	The Family Used - LP - 9 25322-1 1985 Original in shrink. The Family’s self-titled album, released in 1985, stands as a distinctive project in the Minneapolis music scene, best known for its close connection to Prince. Assembled and produced by Prince, The Family was one of several bands he created to showcase protégés and to experiment with new musical directions outside his own solo output. The group featured members such as St. Paul Peterson, Susannah Melvoin, Jellybean Johnson, Jerome Benton, and Eric Leeds, and their debut album was issued on Prince’s Paisley Park Records. The project is notable for its fusion of funk, pop, jazz, and orchestral elements, and for introducing the original version of "Nothing Compares 2 U," a song later made world-famous by Sinéad O’Connor. From a historical perspective, The Family album represents a significant moment in Prince’s evolution as an artist and producer during the mid-1980s. The band’s sound was marked by intricate arrangements, lush string sections by composer Clare Fischer, and a willingness to blend genres—a precursor to later Paisley Park acts. Although the album received only modest commercial attention at the time, its influence grew as fans and musicians recognized its innovative production and songwriting. The Family’s brief existence and the subsequent careers of its members, who went on to other prominent projects, only increased the album’s mystique and legacy within the broader landscape of Minneapolis funk and popular music. ... more
