Kingtone,
Don't make the same mistake I made. My first NY records were Rust Never Sleeps and Live Rust (I was a high school junior when RNS came out). Soon afterward I bought Decade.
Decade is a great collection of early NY, but it lulled me into a sense that I had everything there was to have in the from the early years. For 20 years I never dug any deeper. I bought and listened to the new stuff that came out, but never went backwards.
20 freakin' years! It wasn't until I read Shakey a few years back that I went back to listen to everything else from that period.
If it weren't for Jimmy McDonough (writer of Shakey) and (
Thasher's Wheat ), I never would have realized what a gem NY is. These days, my turntable and CD player rarely have anything other than NY (or NY inspired) sitting on them.
To think that I may never have heard
Don't Let It Get You Down,
Borrowed Tune,
Ambulance Blues or
Albuquerque is depressing.
