Phil Collins “Face Value”

1981 DE Atlantic WEA 99 143

Gatefold

Not all that rare, but a classic from my early collecting days. Got it the first day it was available in the US, only as an import. Back when “In The Air Tonight” was just a great song, not a phenomenon.

(though, in concert it certainly was phenomenal!)

Creed “Human Clay”

1999 US Wind-Up 601501305313

First Edition, 2LP Limited Edition

Includes black / white hype sticker on front shrink wrap "Limited Edition - Double Album"

A classic from the era.

Blue Öyster Cult ‘Cultösaurus Erectus’

1980 UK CBS 86120

UK first pressing, complete with poster, VG+/NM

Nothing crazy rare here, but sure brings back memories of when it was released (high school. )

‘Mirrors’ was a bit of a disappointment after ‘Agents …’ (though now I love it) and it was nice to have their more hard rock side back with ‘Cultösaurus…’

Could not get over the artwork! 😎

I thought it was pretty cool seeing Gorillaz make their SNL debut last weekend, performing their classic hit Clint Eastwood, and thought it would be fun to share my copy from 2005!

Simon and Garfunkel “Sounds of Silence”

1966 JP CBS YS-659-C

First pressing, Japan

Track A6 : Early LP pressings have the title of this instrumental, played by Paul Simon, as "Angie" and credit Bert Jansch.

LOVE these Japan pressings. They took packaging and pressing quality to a new level.

And the album? Well… few like it!
