  1. U2, R.O.K., 1981 on Island Records

    Punny title (you too, are ok or U2 are ok) aside, great early EP for the European market from U2. The live tracks on the b-side are from their appearance at the Paradise in Boston in March 1981 – about 8 years later my freshman dorm room would be a block away.

    This was the first single (“Fire”) from the debut full-length album Boy, though there had been the EP Three and ~5 other singles before this

    My copy—via A1 Records in NYC—is from the first pressing for the German marked, pressed by Sonopress in Gütersloh.

  6. The Damned, Machine Gun Etiquette, 1979 on Chiswick

    This was the third studio album from Dave Vanian, Captain Sensible, Rat Scabies, and (new bassist) Algy Ward, collectively known as The Damned.

    Includes a cover of “Looking at You” by the MC5, as well as “Love Song” and “I Just Can’t Be Happy Today.” I believe this was only available as an import in the US until issued on CD in 1991 by Emergo.

    My copy is a later UK repressing (1986) on ACE Records, pressed at Sonopress in Germany – via A1 Records in NYC.
