T. Rex -- Electric Warrior

T. Rex -- Electric Warrior

  • Artist: T. Rex
  • Title: Electric Warrior
  • Year: 1971
  • Format: Vinyl 12 in.
  • Rating (1-10): 7
  • Owner: Tracy
  • Acquired: 1986 ? – I think I got this when I was working at Mother’s Records & Tapes.
  • Keeper: Yes

You gotta have “Bang A Gong (Get It On)” in your record collection. I also love “Mambo Sun” and “Jeepster”, but for me the rest can get a bit too hippy dippy trippy. Everyone seems to think it’s a masterpiece. Maybe they’re right, but I usually feel the need to play some AC/DC or Motorhead afterward.

Joe Jackson - Look Sharp

  • Artist: Joe Jackson
  • Title: Look Sharp
  • Year: 1979
  • Format: Vinyl 12 in.
  • Rating (1-10): 10
  • Owner: Mary
  • Acquired: 1980 ? “I know I was in high school…”
  • Keeper: Yes

This is Mary’s record. I’ve never thought of myself as a big Joe Jackson fan before, but I do now. This one has the big hits “Is She Really Going Out With Him?” and “Look Sharp.” The last song “Got The Time” was covered by Anthrax in ’90s, but believe me, Joe rocks it just as hard and twice as cool. Everything else here is just as great, if not as well known.
