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.
