A lot of folks who know me know that I’m a yard sale and flea market pack rat when it comes to vinyl LPs. I’m always on the lookout for things I’ve heard of but never heard, things I’ve seen on lists but haven’t physically seen. My genres of choice are 70s and 80s power pop. My collection is already full of local favorites like Todd Rundgren and Tim Moore but also tons of Marshall Crenshaw, Squeeze, and Rockpile. I also keep my eye out for 70s punk. One LP that has escaped my grasp thus far is Richard Hell’s Blank Generation.
