We tend to forget it but Roxy Music was one of the most innovative, disruptive, bands of the 70’s. Their second opus, the Roxy Music’s 1973 For your pleasure album, is in my opinion, their best ever and fully deserves to be in your collection. A jewel that truly belongs to the list of the […]
Released exclusively in the UK in 1988 by an indie label, Pixies’ Surfer Rosa is their first major album. Surprisingly, although it is praised today as being one of the 500 best albums ever (one that laid the foundations of alternative rock), it was not a commercial success at first. And it had to wait […]
I like the idea that my vinyl collection holds most game changing albums. This 1972 Eagles debut album certainly belongs there. Because it made so that anyone can immediately identify any Eagles tune! My feeling about the Eagles debut album A unique mix of country-rock, ballads, rock-and-roll and amazing singing harmonies, it was an instant […]

There are many good reasons for this album to be in your collection of vinyls! Manu’s review of Stephen Stills Manassas 1972 double LP […]
Some don’t like live albums. I most certainly do. And this first Fleetwood Mac Live album’s most successful lineup is one of the best of the kind. The quality of recording of the Fleetwood Mac 1980 Live album is exceptional and the album captures the atmosphere of the triumphant 1979-1980 Tusk Tour. Manu’s review of […]
Into Tomorrow by Paul Weller is a favorite of mine. It actually is the first album of Paul after a couple of troubled years that saw a drop of the public’s interest in The Style Council up to a point where the band was refused a contract to produce its fifth album. Into Tomorrow features […]
Time fades away is a clear must-have for any loyal fan of ´the Loner’ as well as for any vinyl collector! This live album was released in the Summer of 1973 and never has been edited on CD, which makes the original vinyl version, one of the most sought after Neil Young’s albums. Time fades […]
