Regretfully, I never made a Warfield show. You have a very cool collection, and I like that Hot Hot Hot The Cure 12' There are some good tracks off of "Pursuit Of Happiness" Beat Farmers.. I like that LP.. Well see if you do !

I saw the Cramps a couple of times in LA on Halloween.

Lucky you seeing the Cramps perform. They are one of my favorite groups.

Funny quote

[@guillermocevallos9587]

I too am going thru my collection and deciding what to keep and what to release (selling or trading). You mentioned an album that you would keep for esthetic purposes. Idk if I would do that. If I know I won't listen to it, I would get rid of it. Good luck on your journey.

[@djstephwest]

I totally get your point about letting go of albums you won't listen to. For me, sometimes the artwork or the sentimental value makes it hard to let go. Best of luck on your journey as well!

Thats a good stack to keep

[@djstephwest]

But I love the post punk! lol Sounds like you have great taste though.

[@MarkMorris-1962]

Such a great collection! A few I haven't heard of in this batch. I will definitely have to check out Demolition Dollrods!

[@djstephwest]

Thank you!

[@CorabicrueJ]

Fantastic choices what to keep, although all these albums are worth keeping, great video❤

[@djstephwest]

Thank you! 🙂

[@flamingroove]

in my humble opinion the Beat Farmers record Pursuit of Happiness is the finest LP that you showed they were the most fun live band ever

[@djstephwest]

Hello! Thanks for the advice. I'll definitely give it a listen before making any hasty decisions to give it away.

Hi Stephanie ! I need to check out The Demolition Doll Rods from Detroit Rock City 🎸. Porcupine is a great album by The Bunnymen & Heaven Up Here from 1981 is one of my all-time favorite albums. I remember trading in that Blancmange album .. I have the one with Living On The Ceiling which I love ..I think it's called Happy Families. It's been hot & it's still not officially summer ! 🌞

[@djstephwest]

Hey David. Sounds like we have similar musical tastes! Not sure where you are located, but it sounds like summer is coming. Stay 😎😎.

Wasn’t Hanoi Rocks from Finland? That Cherry Bombz looks intriguing. I have not heard them before. Love the cover art on that 12 inch single though. Good luck on downsizing your collection. You have some awesome records. I’ll have to check out Hollywood Underground also. I’m a sucker for music from the 80’s.

[@djstephwest]

Hi. Yes Hanoi was from Finland. They might as well have been straight out of Hollywood. I’m also a sucker from the era of music. kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5LKeqCXbpanaMUsi=4KWSgnuwaD-Ly5Ea

Hi 👋 Greetings from New Zealand. The Divinyls were an Australian group. They had a hit song in the 1980s called I Touch Myself. I like Echo & the Bunnymen, my favorite album of theirs is titled Ocean Rain from 1984. Lucky you seeing them in concert. Also seeing The Cramps, i love them. Good records there.

[@djstephwest]

Hi friend from New Zealand! Yes, i had the cassette single of “I touch myself” when it came out. “Ring me up” from the 16 candles is one of my favorites. Totally underrated band. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pWa0l4t_g8uhkMksi=iuMqflxa_DKbHwLS
