- Captain Fantastic and The Brown Dirt Cowboy
(First vinyl purchase with my own money all those years ago.)

- Ramones - It’s Alive
(Recorded New Years Eve 1977 @ The Rainbow London. Originally purchased as a Dutch import early 198(?). Not officially released stateside until 1996. Say what you will, imo the greatest live rock n’ roll performance ever recorded. Full show-27 minutes. It’s on Youtube.

- Various Readers Digest box sets late 70’s early 80’s. Direct RCA/Columbia masters. (Thrift store find @ $4.00 a box. Obvious I was the first to take them out of their sleeves. As pressed condition.)
