Recent Acquisitions 2008

Killed two birds with one stone with this one. I'd been looking for a mint cover of "Sinful" to replace my cutout copy. I already have the rare "Bad Publicity" pressing of the record w/ picture sleeve. Trog has a mint cover w/ picture sleeve, but the less rare "Sinful" pressing of the record. I snagged a copy with a near mint cover and the "Bad Publicity" pressing of the vinyl, also in near mint condition. Soooo this is for Trog:


This is for me:

Yeah, we do have a bunch of them but not everything on that list came from here, I grabbed some of those on ebay and gemm.com.

I've been wanting to pick something up by them for awhile, and the debut for a buck seemed like a safe bet.

Probably not a band most people care about here, but I've always been a fan of this band. This was the album they released independently just before signing with Atlantic Records/Sony and releasing their successful "Cool from the Wire" album in 1988. They were basically a local band from PA/NY before that. They relocated to Rochester, NY where I was attending college in the 80's, so were really into them and were psyched when they signed a major label contract.

CDs:
THE OBSESSED - The Church Within
PENTAGRAM - Day of Reckoning (orig. vinyl version on cdr)

Vinyl:
DEF LEPPARD - The Def Leppard EP (7 inch single)
DEF LEPPARD - Wasted/Hello America (7 inch single)

UNCLE SAM - Heaven or Hollywood
Another band from my college days in Rochester, NY. Uncle Sam were a hugely popular local band. I worked in a record store called Cavages (or something like that) with a guy who was Uncle Sam's drummer for a short time.

The white sticker was originally placed on the shrinkwrap outside the cover. When I first purchased this record in '88 in NY, my copy had the sticker, which I carefully removed and placed on the front of a clear record sleeve. The copy I have now, doesn't have the sticker as seen here but I placed the sticker there anyhow in Photoshop so that I could display the cover here without offending too many people. The original vinyl pressing of Heaven or Hollywood on Skellar Records has the girl completely nude.

I'm still searching for a CD version of this album. The CD has the same girl, only with purple panties on.
