Description
Setting the stage:
I started to “build a record collection” of sorts about 20 years ago. I was motivated to buy vinyl because of a record player I received as a gift. What I quickly found out was that the vinyl records market is very dense and convoluted. Despite my love for music and all of its versatility, I didn’t have much direction. I simply bought what I liked to listen to, and I ended up with a “collection” of original records (i.e. first pressing) and reissues. Some purchases were of new records and some purchases were of used records, but for the last 20 years or so (subject to release date), all of the records I am offering have been in my possession. In total, I’ve accumulated just over 100 records for my “record collection”. Ultimately, these records have been collecting dust sitting on my shelves. I’ve opened and unwrapped some of the records and others are as is. Have I listened to them all? No way. I would estimate I’ve listened to about 25 of the records and some of them even a few times. Any of these records can become part of your collection now. I will be posting them in batches because compiling a discography, cataloging, and photographing all these records has been much more difficult than buying them and enjoying them. By now you can probably tell I’m not very technical with the record jargon. I’ve dedicated an immense amount of time to compiling the most accurate information to provide you about the records I am offering. I believe all of the records are in good condition at a minimum. I purchased them all from reputable record stores and not at garage sales or flea markets. That being said, I am happy to answer questions on the higher dollar items ($50+), I won’t take pictures and fulfill a bunch of random requests for the low dollar items, I just don’t have the bandwidth. In the end, I believe you will be very satisfied with your purchase. Please make sure and check out my other lots, there will certainly be something up your alley. I have priced all the items to reflect their current condition. If you disagree with my assessments please do not make the purchase. All sales items are final and I will not accept returns. Now onto the good stuff…
The Clash:
The Clash was a revolutionary punk rock band from London that exploded onto the scene in the mid-1970s. Fusing raw punk with reggae, dub, funk, and rockabilly, they were loud, rebellious, and politically charged, essentially everything punk was meant to be. With frontman Joe Strummer’s gritty vocals and Mick Jones’ dynamic guitar work, the band became one of the most influential forces in modern rock history. Unlike many of their peers, The Clash infused their music with global awareness and a sense of purpose. Albums like London Calling and Combat Rock were genre-defying. Whether you’re into punk, politics, or pure adrenaline, The Clash is an essential listen.
The Clash - Live at Shea Stadium:
Recorded in October 1982 while opening for The Who at Shea Stadium in New York, this live album captures The Clash at their ferocious peak. The setlist is a fiery blast of their biggest anthems “London Calling,” “Tommy Gun,” “Rock the Casbah,” and “Should I Stay or Should I Go” which was performed with explosive energy in front of over 50,000 fans. Released in 2008 by Legacy and Epic, the recording was long believed to be lost until rediscovered in Joe Strummer’s archives. It was hailed for its raw sound and incredible mix quality, especially with original mixing by Glyn Johns. A must-have live document for punk collectors and Clash loyalists alike, it has been widely praised for capturing the urgency and danger of the band’s iconic live presence.
