The 1975
Colored Vinyl - Used - 3740515
2014 2LP original Gatefold on Clear vinyl. "The 2013 Self-titled Debut Album From The 1975 Is A Superb Album That Finds The Manchester Outfit Poised On The Brink Of Stardom. When Rock Guitars Meet Dancefloor Synths, '80s Influences Become Hard To Deny, But While The 1975 Definitely Have A Retro Vibe (Hence The Name), The Alchemy Of How They Bring Those Influences To Bear Is Totally Contemporary. While Many Of The Tracks Here Bring To Mind Such Icons As Peter Gabriel, Inxs, And U2, They Also Fit Nicely Next To Artists Of The Same Moment, Like Passion Pit, Temper Trap, And M83. It Helps That Lead Singer/songwriter Matthew Healy Has A Compelling Tenor Croon That Can Soar Like Bono One Minute And Coo Like Lionel Richie The Next. There Is Also A Sophistication To The Band's Songs, And An Instinct To Blur Genre Lines That Makes It Hard To Box Them Into One, Easy To Define Sound. In That Sense, The Band Also Recalls The Way Fall Out Boy Combined The Rhythmic Phrasing And Melodies Of Contemporary R&b With Their Own Brand Of Driving, Guitar-based Emo-rock. Much Has Been Made Of The 1975's Avowed Love Of '80s John Hughes Movies, And Many Of The Cuts Here, Like The Thrilling, Lovesick "Settle Down" And The Sparkling "Girls," Play With Such Great Narrative Momentum That They Sound Like Songs Culled From A Hughes Soundtrack. Meanwhile, Cuts Like "The City," "Chocolate," And "Sex" Drive And Climb Like The Best Anthemic '80s Stadium Rock, Roiling A Host Of Influences Into A Single Distinct Sound That, The Moment It Hits Your Ears, Becomes Timeless."

Wet Leg
Used - LP - WIGLP496
2022 Original, Standard Black Vinyl Housed In A Matt Finished Jacket. NM- Copy. Two Pressing Rings. Recorded At Mr Dans, London, Jon's Studio, London And Hester & Joshua's Flat, Isle Of Wight. "In The Middle Of 2021, Wet Leg's Rhian Teasdale And Hester Chambers Came Seemingly Out Of Nowhere And Dominated Popular Culture, Or At Least A Part Of It, With Their Single "Chaise Longue." Its Combination Of In-jokes, Mean Girls Quotes, Fancy Furniture, And Warm Beer -- All Served Up With Deadpan Irony, Nagging Guitars, And Shout-along Choruses -- Sounded Like Instant Summer. Somehow, The Music Wet Leg Wanted To Make Also Happened To Be What Everyone Else Wanted To Hear; "Chaise Longue" Racked Up Millions Of Streams And Reached Number 27 On The Billboard Alternative Airplay Chart, No Small Feat For A Previously Unknown Act. It's Rare That A Band Is So Fully Formed At The Start Of Their Career, But On Their Self-Titled Debut Album, Wet Leg Deliver More Of Those Immediately Memorable Hooks And Relatable, Witty Retorts. Unlike Many Of Their Post-Punk-Influenced Contemporaries, Teasdale And Chambers Laugh At The World's Absurdity (And Their Own) Instead Of Despairing At It. That Sense Of Humor Is A Powerful Weapon In Their Hands, And They're Most Confident On Wet Leg When They're Taking Aim: On "Oh No," They Skewer Twentysomething Existential Dread And Hipsters In Increasingly Chaotic, Social Media-Sized Bites With Such Accuracy That It Borders On Sketch Comedy. When They Cut An Ex Down To Size Over Spiky Guitars And Handclaps On "Wet Dream," The Way Teasdale Sneers "What Makes You Think You're Good Enough To Think About Me When You're Touching Yourself?" Echoes The Way Elastica And Sleeper Put A Sardonic, Distinctly Female Stamp On Brit-Pop's Oh-So-Laddish Style. Decades Later, It's Still Liberating To Hear Chambers And Teasdale Tear Down Someone Who Doesn't "Motivate" Them With A Well-Placed "Why Don't You Just Suck My Dick?" On "Ur Mum." Though The Band Completed Wet Leg Before The World Even Heard "Chaise Lounge," They Knew There Had To Be More To Their Music Than Whip-Smart Singles. As A Whole, It's Remarkably Well-rounded, Spanning Slight Tweaks To Their Sound As Well As Drastic Leaps. Teasdale And Chambers Strip Away Their Cool On Songs As Emotionally Varied As "Being In Love," Which Captures The Giddy Gut Punch Of Romance With A Rush Of Guitars, Synths, And Knowingly Cooed Vocals, And "Loving You," Which Uses Its Frothy Melody And Instrumentation To Couch The Sting Of Its Heartbroken Lyrics. When Teasdale Sings Instead Of Using Her Usual Sprechesung Delivery, As On "Convincing," It Adds Another Level Of Cheek To Their Music, One That They Take To Drolly Rocking Heights On Yet Another Standout, "Angelica." While Chambers And Teasdale Are Still Discovering What They Can Do, They're Having A Lot Of Fun Finding Out, And Wet Leg More Than Delivers On The Promise Of Their Viral Beginnings." All Music Guide – Heather Phares ...

Walls And Bridges
Used - LP - SW-3416
1978 US split apple original with die cut cover, inner sleeve and booklet. "Walls and Bridges was recorded during John Lennon's infamous "lost weekend," as he exiled himself in California during a separation from Yoko Ono. Lennon's personal life was scattered, so it isn't surprising that Walls and Bridges is a mess itself, containing equal amounts of brilliance and nonsense. Falling between the two extremes was the bouncy Elton John duet "Whatever Gets You Thru the Night," which was Lennon's first solo number one hit. Its bright, sunny surface was replicated throughout the record, particularly on middling rockers like "What You Got" but also on enjoyable pop songs like "Old Dirt Road." However, the best moments on Walls and Bridges come when Lennon is more open with his emotions, like on "Going Down on Love," "Steel and Glass," and the beautiful, soaring "No. 9 Dream." Even with such fine moments, the album is decidedly uneven, containing too much mediocre material like "Beef Jerky" and "Ya Ya," which are weighed down by weak melodies and heavy over-production. It wasn't a particularly graceful way to enter retirement." All Music Guide – Stephen Thomas Erlewine. ...

USA Union
Used - LP - 24-4022
1970 US original gatefold with company inner. Solid VG+. "USA Union," released in 1970, marks a distinctive period in John Mayall’s prolific career. After the dissolution of his Bluesbreakers band, Mayall moved to the United States and recorded this album with an entirely new lineup. The personnel on "USA Union" included guitarist Harvey Mandel, bassist Larry Taylor—both from Canned Heat—and violinist Don "Sugarcane" Harris. This unique configuration gave the album a character all its own, notably absent of drums, which set it apart from standard blues rock recordings of the era. The songs on "USA Union" reflect Mayall's growing environmental and social concerns, with lyrics that often address issues of nature, migration, and life on the American West Coast. ...

Memories
Used - LP - PD 5012
1971 Gatefold Original. Recorded At Larrabee Studios In Los Angeles. After disbanding his celebrated Bluesbreakers, Mayall sought a more roots-oriented and reflective sound, choosing to record in Los Angeles and surrounding himself with a new group of musicians. Among them were guitarist Jerry McGee, known for his session work with the Ventures and others, and bassist Larry Taylor, previously of Canned Heat. This collaboration brought a distinctly American flavor to Mayall’s British blues background, blending elements of folk, country, and jazz into the album’s framework and giving “Memories” a unique sonic identity compared to his earlier, more blues-driven releases. ...
