Today’s show is another one of our vinyl junkyard editions. Just to remind you, in vinyl junkyard specials I play almost entire LPs that I found dirt cheap somewhere laying in some bargain bin at a record store. Usually the stuff comes from The Blue Arrow Records in Cleveland. Two records that inspired today’s and next week’s show are A Bunch of Stiff Records and Stiffs Live – two LPs put together by the legendary Stiff Records label back in the late 70s. We will hear almost all tracks from these two LPs. In addition to that, we will hear some 45s that came out on that legendary label. Actually, they were much better known for their 45s, but they early singles are notoriously difficult to come by in original editions and they definitely are not dirt cheap. But the LPs are easier to find and just as exciting. A lot of the stuff from Stiff records has come out on CDs by now, but listening to the original vinyl has its charm. Check out some Stiff music!

Today’s show is dedicated to the 80s new wave scene from Georgia and the South of the USA. Everything is peculiar in the South, so is the new wave scene. The direct inspiration for today’s show is the LP called Jericho Go, a compilation record that was put together jointly by The DB Records in the US and the Stiff Records in UK. Now, it can only be found in rare used records bins in these two countries, and it’s probably not an easy task. Still, it’s an obscure, but a cherished item in my record collection. This show brings every single song from that LP and the rest of the time is filled with some other related tunes either by other Southern new wave bands or related acts from a different era. I hope you will enjoy the second installment of the Vinyl Junkyard.
