“Bloody Tourists” by 10cc from 1978. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ . Sixth album and the second post the spilt of the original line-up. I like the album and the lead single drove its success in the U.K. charts at least. For me it is also kind of where I leave off with 10cc, after this point I don’t feel they really produced anything to match the earlier work. This is a decent album though and makes for a good listen. . #nowplaying #vinyl #vinylcollection #vinylrecords #vinyljunkie #nostalgia #vinyladdict #recordcollector #records #70s #10cc

“Deceptive Bends” by 10cc from 1977. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ . Got a couple of 10cc albums to start my Sunday listening. This one was the first one to follow the departure of Godley and Creme so there was a lot of interest to see how it would work out! In truth all four of the original line-up were such talented writers and musicians there was little danger of this not being a solid album. I think Stewart and Gouldman did a great job and this is an excellent album. . #nowplaying #vinyl #vinylcollection #vinylrecords #vinyljunkie #nostalgia #vinyladdict #recordcollector #records #70s #10cc

“Glory Road” by Gillan from 1980. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ . The band’s third album is one of their best. Actually got to number three in the UK album charts. I was at school at the time and it was when rock music could actually chart! AC/DC, Queen, Deep Purple, Genesis and the Stones all had #1 albums that year. Imagine that. . #nowplaying #vinyl #vinylcollection #vinylrecords #vinyljunkie #nostalgia #vinyladdict #recordcollector #records #80s #gillan

“The Deed is Done” by Molly Hatchet from 1984. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ . And a third in a row from ‘84! This was their sixth album and marked a huge change in style. Gone is the southern rock groove and in it’s place is mostly a slick FM radio friendly sound. It’s like they moved house from Florida to California and felt the need to fit in with the neighbours! The later tracks are a bit more traditional Hatchet but it’s still a surprising album. To be honest I quite like this album but that different sound is not why I listen to Molly Hatchet. . #nowplaying #vinyl #vinylcollection #vinylrecords #vinyljunkie #nostalgia #vinyladdict #recordcollector #records #80s #mollyhatchet

“Self Destruction Blues” by Hanoi Rocks from 1984. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ . Another album form ‘84 this morning and it’s one of my fav Rocks albums. They are a unique band. They are usually found filed away under hair metal or glam metal etc but that’s really failing to appreciate their contribution in my opinion. Much of their early music is straight up rock and roll with some punk flavour and attitude. They were essentially a London based band in the early 80s and listening to this album you really catch that UK punk vibe at times. . #nowplaying #vinyl #vinylcollection #vinylrecords #vinyljunkie #nostalgia #vinyladdict #recordcollector #records #80s #hanoirocks

“Sign in Please” by Autograph from 1984. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ . This is pretty staple 80s MTV-ready metal. They were a bit of a one hit wonder but that was probably down to the saturation of the market with such bands. Played in isolation today, this is a good album and represents the genre well. . #nowplaying #vinyl #vinylcollection #vinylrecords #vinyljunkie #nostalgia #vinyladdict #recordcollector #records #80s #autograph

Death is a debt …

Death is a debt to nature due, I’ve paid my debt and so must you.

I found this inscription on a grave stone in this cemetery in Salem, Massachusetts a couple of years ago.

For some reason it came to mind today so I decided to make this the subject of my photo.
