First up:
Desert Fox

Yes, that is indeed another Wham! LP, same one as before albeit in picture disk format. Not sure I’ve ever seen a picture disk in real life or not, but there you have it. Haven’t played it yet, probably never will; I don’t know if it would wear out the image or what, but I have a copy already so no point.

Next up, an oldie:
Desert Fox

HEEEEERRRB! My parents had one of his, the Whipped Cream & Other Delights, and that link goes to another two that I bought. ‘Fraid I don’t listen to them much, the quality isn’t that great.

Desert Fox

And there you have perhaps my first infatuation album: Styx’ The Grand Illusion. I loved that album. Loved it. I even bought two, the normal one and one of those special Original Master Recording “audiophile” copies. Styx was even the first band I saw in concert. Back then it was Styx and Kansas, Kansas and Styx. If you notice, this is a Japanese pressing of an “Audiophile Series” whatever that means, but. . . .still in its original plastic wrap. Never opened! How cool is that!
