  Artist: Bread Title: On The Water Label: Elektra Format: 8-Track Catalog Number: ET8 4076 Year of Release: 1970 Country and Year of Edition: US 1970 Sell Price: $3.69 Sell Date: 6/21/26 Condition: VG/VG tested start to finish Discogs Last Sold: n/a Low: $3.69 Median: $3.69 Average: $3.69 High: $3.69 Current low price:  n/a Current Number on Sale at Discogs: 0 Have/Want: 14/16 Where Sold: Fort Worth, TX Time It Took To Sell:  2 years Where and When Bought: Ebay 8-track lot Gwiz-gau Letter Grade:  B Sad To See It Go: No  "I can't believe I'm going to have to take Bread seriously" I said out loud to particularly no one.  Since this tape sold last week I've had it on my Spotify shuffle I use to familiarize myself with titles like this than outside of the hits I have no reference point. The lead track is actually a strong Mike Nesmith sounding number "Why Do You Keep Me Waiting" complete with fuzz guitar and an instrumental break that sounds downright...

Jefferson Starship-Freedom At Point Zero (1979)

  Artist: Jefferson Starship Title: Freedom At Point Zero Label: Grunt Format: LP Catalog Number: BZL1 3452 Year of Release: 1979 Country and Year of Edition: US 1979 Goldisc gatefold cover Sell Price: $5.99 Sell Date: 6/16/26 Condition: VG+/VG+ Discogs Last Sold: 2/7/26 NM/NM $17.03 Low: $1.00 Median: $4.00 Average: $5.59 High: $17.03 Current low price: $3.25 G+/VG Current Number on Sale at Discogs: 13 Have/Want: 421/64 Where Sold: Huntington Beach, CA Time It Took To Sell:  3 years Where and When Bought:  Facebook lot Gwiz-gau Letter Grade:  C Sad To See It Go: No  With the inescapable hit "Jane" kicking off the record, there was much unfamiliar corporate rock for me to wade through on Jefferson Starship's Freedom At Point Zero.  It isn't as "corporate" as it seems, as with the once 60's radical Kantner that somehow made hits over 3 decades under different monikers and approaches. This was the start of the Mickey Thomas era on vocals.  Paul Ka...

Geils Band in it's commercial peak was "modern" and synth laden with plenty of radio hits from production by Michael Jonzun of the Jonzun Crew.  That meant a pop record from the producer that went on to work with New Kids On The Block. Wolf was among singers that cut their teeth on Soul music of the 50's & 60's and were seeking relevence with 80's ...
