Blinded By The Light

A soundtrack filled with (unreleased) Bruce Springsteen tracks? Sign me up!

Haven’t seen the accompanying movie yet, but the soundtrack is stunning.

London May

This is one of those records, I would like to pick up, since London May drummed in a couple of amazing bands and all of them are present here. However with a quite a harsh retail price and shipping from the USA, I took a rain check on it for a few years. However when it show up in your local record store for a decent price, I grabbed it straight away.

Love the Dag Nasty, Reptile House, Samhain and Circle Jerks songs on this.

In the spirit world now

This is probably my favorite 2019 release at the moment. I really enjoy the musical style Ceremony went into and the way execute it is perfect. I totally understand if you still see them as a hardcore punk band, you will be disappointed. However if you are open minded and can enjoy a health dose of 80’s wave, you will understand how good this band is.

Dutch punk

A few old (early 80’s) Dutch punk singles. Look them up on YouTube.

Quicksand

This one of those records, I can’t pass up, especially when it is offered for a good price, despite already having a copy.

This is easily in my top 5 of favourite Revelation records releases.

Seaweed

Lately I have been listening more and more to Seaweed and I am slowly emerging into their vast discography. I found their first 7″ and despite not being as great as their later output, it still holds up nicely after 30 years.

PUSA

PUSA was one of the first bands I discovered that wasn’t punk, grunge or hard rock but that I really enjoyed. The simpleness of the songs but also catchy sound really appealed to me. At the time I never found this single but due to Discogs it was easy to pick up a copy. It took me a while, I just waited for a local seller.

Irving Plaza

Bootleg, good recordings, unnecessary release. Still bought it anyway.

UA

When it comes to CDs, I barely look trough them in stores, but this simple cardboard sleeve one, made me realize I need to a lot more often. Prior to Discogs it was really hard to find a copy of this in the wild. Especially with the band being somewhat popular at the time. It took me a few years in the 90’s to track down a copy. But still seeing this sitting on a shelf made my heart skip a beat. I couldn’t let it sit there, so I took it home.

Very immature punk rock from a band who later made two or three of the best Dutch punk records out there.

IT

This was a bit of a gamble, I enjoyed the reboot of IT as a feature film and I liked the soundtrack, but I wasn’t sure if would like it enough to listen to it on vinyl. But then again for five bucks I might as well give it a try.
