At this time, I wanted to bring your attention to two Damned re-issues that I think you might want to check out. The great Drastic Plastic label out of Nebraska has been re-issuing some serious titles. Two of them are Machine Gun Etiquette and The Black Album. I became curious, after reading stellar reviews. I tracked the 200 gram black vinyl version of each when I was back in LA earlier this month. I think they sound really good. The mids and lows are very open and well rendered. If you don’t have these albums or are looking to upgrade, this is a good way to take care of that easily. Here is some info in case you want to check them out. DP do not mess around.

I Forgot How Great This Collection Is Dept.: The Radio sessions of The Adverts. You can hear the band evolve from session to session at an astonishing rate. Not a bad track in the bunch. I was listening to the CD version in Asheville the other day. What a band!
