	Carnavas Used - LP - DGB016 Circa 2019 2LP gatefold reissue. VG++, corner ding. "Carnavas, the debut full-length from L.A.'s Silversun Pickups, is the sort of record that brings something new to discover with each listen. Thus, listen one is as enjoyable as listen five or ten, but probably for entirely different reasons, since unique bits continuously appear from the band's dream haze of accessibly textured indie rock. From the grainy opening of "Melatonin" that blends into strikingly harmonized male/female vocals, the quartet immediately showcases their innate sense of melody amid textured atmospherics and layers of distortion and fuzz, which all come across as both bittersweet and enchanting. Silversun Pickups take the shimmering dream pop of My Bloody Valentine and filter it through '90s grunge instincts like that of the Smashing Pumpkins -- and it all combines to produce an album that, well, is really freaking good. Vocals are both haunting and sweet, as lead singer Brian Aubert somehow manages to sound like a cross between the Goo Goo Dolls' Robby Takac and the Get Up Kids' Matt Pryor -- in a good way. And for every moment of ominous intensity, the band further manipulates their ethereal antics into moments of pure shimmering redemption. "Future Foe Scenarios" is urgent in a completely controlled way that makes the vocals come off even fiercer over the song's driving distortion, while exhilarating and spacious cuts like "Lazy Eye" and "Common Reactor" materialize out of clouds of hazy guitars and pensive keyboard with dynamic force that never loses its direction. Though an extremely rewarding listen, proceed with caution: once put into a stereo, Carnavas may become stuck inside for quite a while." All Music Guide – Corey Apar ... more
	Taking Liberties Used - LP - PC 36839 1980 Compilation complete with the original printed inner sleeve. 20 Tracks Previously Unreleased In The States. "Elvis Costello's Early Productivity Was A Bit More Than Most American Rock Fans Were Used To In The One-Album-Every-18-Months 1970s; Not Only Had Costello Released Four Studio Albums Between 1977 And 1980, There Were A Number Of Compilation Tracks, EP's, And Non-LP B-Sides That Had Found Release In Europe But Not The United States, While The U.K. Editions Of This Year's Model And Armed Forces Both Featured Tunes That Were Stripped From American Releases. Soon, Import Distributors Had Built A Cottage Industry Out Of Helping Loyal Costello Fans Complete Their Collections, And In 1980, Columbia Records, Costello's U.S. Label At The Time, Finally Made An Effort At Closing The Gap Between His American And European Catalogs With Taking Liberties. Compiling 20 Songs That Had Never Appeared On A Costello Album In The States, Taking Liberties Was Not Only A Boon For Completists (It Tacked On A Few Otherwise Unreleased Songs So Even The Most Avid Import Buyer Would Get Something New), It Gave A Surprisingly Clear Picture Of The Many Musical Avenues Costello Had Traveled In His First Four Years -- Hard-edged Pop/Punk ("Clean Money," "Crawling To The USA"), Lean Power Pop ("Big Tears," "I Don't Want To Go To Chelsea"), Tough R&B ("Getting Might Crowded"), Country Weepers ("Radio Sweetheart," "Stranger In The House"), Tin Pan Alley Favorites ("My Funny Valentine"), And A Few Items That Defied Any Classification But "Elvis Costello" ("Ghost Train," "Hoover Factory"). When Costello's American Back Catalog Was Reissued By Rykodisc In The 1990s, The Various Tracks On Taking Liberties Were Added To Other Costello Releases As Bonus Tracks, And The Album Went Out Of Print. However, Its British Counterpart, Ten Bloody Marys & Ten How's Your Fathers (Originally Compiled As A Cassette-Only U.K. Release To Give Folks With Tape Decks Access To Tracks Unreleased In The Format), Which Features Many Of The Same Tracks, Remains In Print In Europe. By The Way, Fans Of The Album A Gene Vincent Record Date Might Find That Gregg Geller's Liner Notes Sound Rather Familiar." All Music Guide – Mark Deming ... more
	Here We Go 'Round The Mulberry Bush (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) Used - LP - UAS 5175 1968 Original Monarch pressing. The "Here We Go Round The Mulberry Bush (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)" is a compelling auditory journey crafted by the renowned British rock bands, the Spencer Davis Group and Traffic. Released in 1968, this soundtrack complements the British comedy film of the same name, directed by Clive Donner and based on the novel by Hunter Davies. The film captures the vibrant and tumultuous essence of 1960s youth culture, and the soundtrack mirrors this with its eclectic mix of rock and psychedelic sounds. The Spencer Davis Group, known for their hit "Gimme Some Lovin'," contributed tracks that underscore the film’s playful yet earnest exploration of adolescence. Traffic, featuring Steve Winwood, provided a more experimental and psychedelic touch, reflecting the era's musical innovation. Their contributions include the eponymous track “Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush,” which showcases Winwood’s distinctive vocals and instrumental prowess. ... more
