From The Stacks: The 1979 Sears Wish Book
From The Stacks: The Police, “Message In A Bottle” (Shape Disc)
The Police’s “Badge” discs are on my vinyl grail list.
From The Stacks: George Harrison, ‘Madison Square Garden August 1, 1971’ (Bootleg)
Why own a bootleg copy of part of The Concert For Bangladesh? That’s a fair question.
From The Stacks: David Bowie, “Modern Love” (12-Inch Single)
For my money, “Modern Love” is the greatest hit of Bowie’s eighties pop era.
From The Stacks: ‘The Rocky Horror Show’ (Original London Cast Recording)
The legend of The Rocky Horror Picture Show loomed large when I was 11 or 12.
From The Stacks: What Is This, ‘Squeezed’
You claim to be a Red Hot Chili Peppers fan, but you don’t own Squeezed, the debut EP from What Is This? I don’t even know who you are anymore.
From The Stacks: ‘The Night They Raided Minsky’s’

From The Stacks: The Monkees, “Daydream Believer” (Single)
The Monkees took “Daydream Believer” to number one in December 1967, a couple of years before

From The Stacks: Cereal Records
Some of my earliest musical memories involve cereal boxes.
