All vinyl rock show. Helen Love sing “We love the way you dance in your plastic pants, like a New York Doll” right before the Johnny Thunders track from the just released Live From Zürich 1985 that starts the second hour. A few Black Friday RSD releases included (Jesus People Music, Luther Dickinson, Blue Öyster Cult, The Bangles, Geraint Watkins & The Dominators, Masters Of Reality, Lou Reed). The Lurkers track London Jeepster has been going through my head, despite its nonsense topic (what the hext is a London jeepster?). The Auteurs track is pretty nifty as well.

Electronic, disco, soul/funk Record Store Day releases from 2020 Drops 1 and 2 in the first hour, quality 12″ singles in the second hour. Special attention to the Long Island NY band Cross Island, and the brand new 2020 A Certain Ratio record. The Bobby Moore track (Call Me Your) Anything Man has been running through my head all week. The second hour closes with tracks from two Ace 45th Anniversary 7”s. All tracks are aces in this show, no matter what label they are on.

This show covers the second RSD drop from September 26. It also includes some Drop 1 items that didn’t come into my attention until recently. I draw your attention to the three Sunbeam Records RSD releases featured herein. Raw Material, Wizz Jones and The Fallen Angels LPs will make me follow this label closely from now on. Also, the expanded Gang War LP has lots of tracks that were not on the original, and reminds me how great Johnny Thunders was. The final Television Personalities singles compilation was a very pleasant surprise as well.

This year’s Record Store Day was broken into 3 drops. This is part 2 of a show that covers the first drop from August 29. You will hear the same RSD records in the same order, but different tracks than last week. I think this gives two shades of view and really opens up a better appreciation of the releases that came out. I hope you enjoy as I did.
