Joe Jackson “Body and Soul”, The Jam “Sound Affects”, Talk Talk “It’s My Life”... decidedly early ‘80s vibe. Bought these three at Newbury Comics on the same day in ‘84 - such a great summer & these albums bring me right back to it

Paul Weller “Stanley Road”, Faces “First Step” & Free “Fire and Water”. Is it me or does great British music always sound best through British gear?

Beastie Boys “Paul’s Boutique” - so great! Blackberry Smoke “The Whippoorwill” & Son Volt “Trace”... Not exactly sure how I got from the BBs to Son Volt in the same sitting. Quite a stretch, lol
