  Artist: Railroad Jerk Title: Younger Than You b/w Ballad Of Jim White Label: Matador Format: 7'" Catalog Number: OLE 022-7 Year of Release: 1991 Country and Year of Edition: US 1991 Sell Price: $2.95 Sell Date: 8/7/26 Condition: VG+/VG+ Discogs Last Sold: 6/17/26 VG+/VG+ $3.02 Low: $1.00 1/6/18 Median: $2.99 Average: $3.32 High: $9.20 6/22/25 Current low price: $1.34 (UK), $3.00 NM/VG+ (US) Curren Number on Sale at Discogs: 13 Have/Want: 136/20 Where Sold: Millbrae, CA Time It Took To Sell:  11 years Where and When Bought: Boston Newbury Comics when new, sticker remants still on it but not price Gwiz-gau Letter Grade: B Sad To See It Go: No Solid but fairly non-descript follow-up to their great debut album.  It raises a trash can ruckus, which certainly rises above alot of things, but neither side made Raise The Plow, the sophomore album the following year, 1992. "Younger Than You" does beat a five note riff into the ground with authority and I don't kno...

  Artist: Thin Lizzy Title:  'Live and Dangerous' Label: Warner Bros.

This meant the cruci...

Later on, all this music was compiled and the band was renam...
