Boutiki, your list brought back some great musical memories for me. I just started getting back into old school punk and would love to have my old record collection back. Your lucky to still hhave those!
By the way does you Dead Kennedys: Frankenchrist still have the original poster in it?

You know, it's not. And I can't remember if it was there when I got the album or if they had been forced to yank it by the time I got a copy. Most of my records at that time came from my favorite used record store back then, Vinyl Fever on Fletcher in Tampa. Many were promo copies that the radio stations would dump there because they were never going to play the stuff.

I also realized right after I made my post that it was not entirely true. Not all of that old music is in our RECORD collection, several of the albums are on cassette tape! Remember those? Just the other day I was driving and thinking, how can I ever get rid of my old Ford Econoline van? It has a tape deck. I bet you were just like me back then Flounder, wasting countless hours making mix tapes for yourself or for a girlfriend, with your own custom art for inside the tape case.

That site is pretty cool Jab, and it's funny how you skim down a page and start humming all your favorite songs from the different albums. It also reminds you of all the bands you saw live back then. Cool stuff.
