From The Stacks: Various, ‘Ten Big Stiffs’
From The Stacks: Blondie, ‘Peroxide On Blonde’
Peroxide on Blonde is a 1980 bootleg of two Blondie shows.
From The Stacks: The Doctor Exx Band, ‘Superman and Other Disco Hits’

From The Stacks: Ben Colder/Sheb Wooley, ‘Spoofing the Big Ones!’
Sheb Wooley might be most famous for his 1958 novelty hit, “Purple People Eater,” but 1963’s Spoofing the Big Ones is the record that holds a treasured place in my stacks.
From The Stacks: Plasmatics, “Butcher Baby” (Single)

From The Stacks: U2, ‘Back Through the Mirror’ (Bootleg)
U2 is a divisive band these days, but back in the early ’80s they were new wave favorites.

You might think you’re looking at yet another Jack Davis album cover. Close, but not quite.
From The Stacks: The Police, ‘Ghost In the Machine’ (Nautilus SuperDisc)

From The Stacks: Milt Buckner, ‘Rockin’ With Milt’
If Milt’s a-rockin’, don’t come a-knockin’.
From The Stacks: Upp, ‘This Way Upp’ (White Label Promo)
Upp is one of those bands that are unfairly forgotten.
