	American Son Used - LP - 5120 Rare 1980 Original With Lyric Insert. Gold Promo Stamp On Cover. Appears Unplayed. more
	Dirt Farmer New - LP - 79844 Factory Sealed, Limited Edition, Hand Numbered (Inside) 180gm Original With Custom Hype Sticker On The Shrink-Wrap. 2008 Grammy Winner For Best Traditional Folk Album. "When The Band’s Levon Helm Underwent Surgery For Throat Cancer In 1998, It Seemed That He Might Never Sing Again. So It’s No Surprise That Helm Pours Everything He Has Into Dirt Farmer, His First Solo Studio Album In 25 Years. What Is Surprising Is That He Sounds As Good As Ever, Which Means He Sounds Good Enough To Put Most Country And Americana Singers To Shame. Dirt Farmer Is Full Of Traditional Songs Helm Learned Growing Up In Arkansas, And It’s Clear That The Tracks Mean A Lot To Him, As Does The Fact That He’s Harmonizing On Them With His Daughter Amy. If There’s One Complaint, It’s That Dirt Farmer Relies A Little Too Much On Slow And Mid-Tempo Numbers. It’d Be Nice To Hear Helm Sink His Teeth Into A Barn-Burner Once In A While. But Hopefully Dirt Farmer Is Just The Start—Not The Culmination—Of Helm’s Amazing Comeback." - Hal Bienstock, Harp more
	Electric Dirt Used - LP - 79861 2009 Original Still In Shrink Wrap. Appears Unplayed. “In A Musical Career That Has Spanned Six Decades, Levon Helm Has Made More Than A Few Excellent Albums Working With Other Folks — Most Notably As Drummer And Vocalist With The Band, As Well As Backing Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Muddy Waters, John Martyn, Rufus Wainwright, And Literally Dozens Of Others. But As A Solo Artist, Helm's Record Has Been Considerably Spottier, With Well-Intended Disappointments Outnumbering Genuine Successes, So It's Good To Report That At The Age Of 69, Helm Has Found His Second Wind As A Recording Artist, Cutting Two Of His Most Satisfying Solo Sets In A Row. Following 2007's Excellent Dirt Farmer, Electric Dirt Is Every Bit As Impressive And Finds Him Sounding Even Stronger Than He Did On That Comeback Set. Dirt Farmer Was Helm's First Album After A Bout With Throat Cancer Nearly Silenced Him, And His Vocals Sounded Firmly Committed But Just A Bit Strained; Two Years On, Helm's Voice Is Nearly As Supple As It Was During His Days With The Band, And Even When It Shows Signs Of Wear And Tear, His Sense Of Phrasing And His Ability To Bring The Characters In These Songs To Life Are As Good As They've Ever Been. While Dirt Farmer Leaned Toward Acoustic Music In The Appalachian Tradition, Electric Dirt Aims For A Broader And More Eclectic Sound; "Golden Bird" Sounds As If It Could Have Been Gleaned From The Harry Smith Anthology, But The Opening Cover Of The Grateful Dead's "Tennessee Jed" Swings With A Solid New Orleans Groove Like An Outtake From The Rock Of Ages Concerts, A Pair Of Muddy Waters Numbers Are Subtle But Passionate Acoustic Blues, "I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free" Is Joyous Gospel-Infused R&B, And "White Dove" Is Fervent And Heartfelt Traditional Country. Electric Dirt Sounds Fresh, Emphatic, And As Effective As Anything Levon Has Cut Since The Mid-'70s, And One Can Only Hope He Has A Few More Discs In Him Just This Good.” Mark Deming, All Music Guide more
