An album with "midwest" in the title, but one that features Arlyn Gale standing under the Brooklyn Bridge – and coming across in a really cool hybrid of singer/songwriter and more polished AOR modes! Gale himself plays acoustic guitar, instead of electric – which matches the ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

Beach House —
Teen Dream ... LP Sub Pop, 2010. Near Mint- 2LP Gatefold ...
Just Sold Out!
There's nothing slow about this mid 70s album from Steppenwolf – a set that has the group really coming back into the fray, after John Kay had left for a bit and recorded as a solo act!

The great early double album from Tom Waits!

(Cloud label pressing. Cover has faint ring wear.)
Livingston Taylor's not hiding his relation to brother James Taylor here – at least not in his style, which is strongly Taylor-like, but not nearly as filled with cliche!

Last Emperor ... CD Virgin (UK), 1987. Used ...

(Stereo pressing. Vinyl plays with a short click on the first track. Cover has surface wear.)
A brilliant little comeback album for Roxy Music – their first album in 4 years after Siren, and a well-done departure that takes off from older records without losing any of their greatness! In a way, the set's almost the group's Lodger – a similar effort to Bowie's record from the ... read moreCD
