Hot Tracks From New Wax on the Racks
February 20, 2019
We've been pricing records like they're going into style here at J&B, so it's been awhile since our last HTFNWOTR, but boy do we have some HT's OTR's for ya. Â Dig it...
Â
Â

Â
Â
"Brass In Pocket" from The Pretenders self-titled 1980 debut album
Â
This song is key for when "Baby Shark" gets stuck in your head. Â Which it now is, because I've named that which shall not be named, and that's all it takes. Â Cue "Brass In Pocket" and all is well, safe at last. Â D'oh!
Â
"Piece of My Heart" from Big Brother and the Holding Company's 1968 LP "Cheap Thrills"
Â
Ms Joplin makes her 2nd appearance on the playlist, and this album has it all - great cover art, fake crowd noise to make it sound live, the band insisting that a picture of them all naked in a bed be the original cover, and loud electrified blues rock. Â What else do you need?
Â
Â
"The Song Remains the Same" from Led Zeppelin's 1973 LP, "Houses of the Holy"
Â
Zeppelin knew how to start an album - Good Times Bad Times, Whole Lotta Love, Immigrant Song, Black Dog - and this song carried that tradition on strongly. Â Try and not get absolutely destroyed by Jimmy Page on this one. Â Good luck.
Â
Â
"No More Mr Nice Guy" from Alice Cooper's 1973 LP, "Billion Dollar Babies"
Â
I'm really learning to appreciate Alice Cooper these days, I think it took me a while to get around his whole schtick. He wrote some great songs, and his record packaging is really cool.  We have a couple copies of this in store, and one even includes a real Billion Dollar Bill!
