Rock Candy, Rhino, Sony Legacy, La-La-Land, Wounded Bird, BGO…all respected reissue labels that collectors seek and value.Β We looked at a decent cross section from these labels and more on this episode of Grab A Stack of Rock.
Harrison the Mad Metal Man educated us on Oingo Boingo.Β Rob Daniels highlighted a Loreena McKennit super deluxe that sounds out of this world.Β Mr. Durling presented a variety of rock reissues including our only vinyl of the evening.Β I had some cool Johnny Cash on Sony Legacy, and a bunch of Budgie.Β This is just a slice of what we showed.
Apologies for the audio glitches at the start!Β We got it figured out and rolled on.
“Ask Harrison” came from a new contributor tonight:Β Superhero Tee Bone Man himself!Β California Girl asked some questions about Heart and Pat Benatar, sparking a lively discussion.
Thanks for watching, and if you missed it, you can check it out below!

βBoingoβs early work was a little too new wave for most peopleβs tastes. But when Good For Your Soul came out in β83 I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consulate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. Theyβve been compared to Devo, but I think Elfman has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humour.
In β85 Boingo released this; Dead Manβs Party, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is βDead Manβs Partyβ. A song so catchy, most people probably donβt listen to the lyrics. But they should, because then maybe someone would be able to work out what the song is about.
Hey Zimmer!β

Heart and Pat Benatar, huh? Representing the female rockers, I like that! And rock reissues, what a cool topic!
