  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...

  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...

  Artist: Chicago Title:  Chicago II Label: Columbia Format: 8-Track Catalog Number: 18 BO 0858 Year of Release: 1970 Country and Year of Edition: US 1970 red shell Sell Price: $4.74 Sell Date: 6/21/26 Condition: VG/F tested sounds good, front cover label missing only tracks,  Discogs Last Sold: 5/31/26 VG/not graded $3.00 Low: $0.49 Median: $3.50 Average: $3.24 High: $5.00 Current low price: $5.00 Current Number on Sale at Discogs: 1 Have/Want: 90/55 Where Sold: Fort Worth, TX Time It Took To Sell:  3 years Where and When Bought Ebay 8-track lot Gwiz-gau Letter Grade:  A- Sad To See It Go: No  Chicago changed their name in 1970 to avoid a lawsuit by the Chicago Transit Authority.  I guess the city had better things to do.  Anyway this spawned a series of albums without a title for the brunt of the 70's until Hot Streets.  Retroactively they were assigned numbers to their titles.  This one is II or 2.  There were 3 top ten hi...

Artist: Birdland Title: Birdland Rock 'n' Roll Nigger b/w Protection / Roller Coaster /Fun Fun Fun Label: Lazy Records Format: 7" EP Catalog Number: LAZY 20 Year of Release: 1990 Country and Year of Edition: UK 1990 Sell Price: $3.49 Sell Date: 6/20/26 Condition: VG+/VG+  Discogs Last Sold: 6/19/26 M/NM $5.00 Low: $0.66 Median: $2.72 Average: $2.66 High: $5.00 Current low price: $0.51 (UK), $2.96 NM/NM (US) Current Number on Sale at Discogs: 133 Have/Want: 874/39 Where Sold: Downers Grove, IL Time It Took To Sell:  11 years Where and When Bought: Boston New Newbury Comics around $5.99 Gwiz-gau Letter Grade: B+ Sad To See It Go: No  Short lived late 80's/early 90's Birmingham, UK band with an obligatory, brief, 2010 reformation.  This EP covered the Patti Smith standard on the A-side with three solid originals on the B-side, none of which made the 1991 album.  I forgot why I bought this 7" at an import price way back when.  I'm thinking I saw i...

  Artist: Peter Wolf Title: Lights Out Label: EMI America Format: LP Catalog Number: SJ 17121 Year of Release: 1984 Country and Year of Edition: US 1984 Sell Price: $4.49 Sell Date: 6/16/26 Condition: VG+/VG+  Discogs Last Sold: 4/4/26 VG/VG $2.00 Low: $1.11 Median: $4.00 Average: $4.78 High: $18.00 Current low price: $2.00 VG/VG+ Current Number on Sale at Discogs: 45 Have/Want: 366/19 Where Sold: Huntington Beach, CA Time It Took To Sell:  3 years Where and When Bought Facebook marketplace lot Gwiz-gau Letter Grade:  B+ Sad To See It Go: No  The solo debut from Peter Wolf after his divorce from the J. 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 ...
