Bob Dylan, Hard Rain, 1976 on Columbia
Bob Dylan looking like I feel. Hard Rain was captured on the second leg of the Rolling Thunder Revue, so T Bone Burnett, Gary Burke, Scarlet Rivera, Steven Soles, Rob Srober and Mick Ronson (from Bowie’s Spiders From Mars) on Maggie’s Farm.
There was a TV special on youtube from Fort Collins with a different set list

The Cure: Boys Don’t Cry, In Between Days, Quadpus, 1980s
A few Cure singles/12-inches from the early 80s.

The Beatles, The Beatles’ Second Album, 1964 on Capitol
Keeping on that same theme. Like most of my Beatles vinyl this is an eighties pressing (rainbow labels with rim text). Would have been so rocking to hear Money or Mr. Postman or Roll Over Beethoven in a club in the early 60s . . .

The Spencer Davis Group featuring Stevie Winwood, Heavies, 1969 on United Artists
Back to the sixties (1969). Third American album for The Spencer Davis Group, with Stevie Winwood. Highlights for me: Hey Darling, Drown in My Tears, Waltz for Lumumba.

The Call, Reconciled, 1986 on Elektra
I think “I Still Believe” may be the first song I ever figured out the chord progression to on the piano and actually understood.

The Suburbs, Dream Hog, 1982 on Twin/Tone, 1983 on Mercury
The PolyGram/Mercury reissue after they signed the band (not the original Twin/Tone). 33 1/3rd on one side 45 on the other. It was as a result of this vinyl that I realized as a teenager how great “Waiting Club Mix” sounds if you play the 45 at 33 1/3rd.
As a teenager in Minneapolis in the eighties The Suburbs were hugely important to my developing tastes. https://thesuburbsband.com
Despite the damn St. Mark’s sounds pink sticker on the front, I found this copy at Mystery Train Records in Gloucester.
