Rarely have album cover and title gone together so well. Please welcome Carly Simon’s No Secrets to the Thank You For Getting Me Through Puberty Hall Of Fame, and shut the door […]
From the Stacks: Carly Simon – No Secrets
From The Stacks: Floaters (self-titled)
I picked this one up solely because the great Dennis Coffey is credited as both guitarist and arranger. Also, it has that cool airbrushed chrome logo that was so popular in the […]
