V/A - Xanadu Music for the Future (Rhetoric o25)

Here is an out of print pop punk comp. Its kind of a shame since its a really good variety of pop punk. Its not the best out there, but its still a damn good album. 19 tracks of totally awesome pop punk. Most of these bands were pretty big in the pop punk scene back in the day. The true zero, and weston tracks are probably the best on here. If you can find it, pick it up. You should be able to get it at your local record store for only a few measily bucks.

PRESSING INFO: Pressed on Rhetoric Records in i think 1998. Can somebody confirm? Long out of print.

The A's - A Woman's Got The Power LP (Arista 1981)

Front Cover

Here is the second album by the band The A's. A posted their first album a few weeks ago for all of you power pop fans. I saw this in the Black Rose antique store and was hesitant about buying it. Mainly because I had purchased their EP "four dances" and it wasnt very good. So I figured their first album was probably the only good one. Well I somehow managed to scrape up the $3.95 this person was asking for it. I took it home and gave it a spin. Great power pop! It sounds a little different than the first album. This includes some horns on a few songs but should be a power pop classic. Give it a listen!
