We need photographic evidence of you as a New Romantic. Pleated pants and big shoulder pads a must
I think there's a hockey photo of me with a permed mullet somewhere.

Bought this pressing a few years ago for $20-25. Not a bad deal compared to what it’s going for now.

I struggled with this day and eventually gave up and just listened to records I wanted to today. I have a good idea what to play for tomorrow, but an album that sold this well is not a bomb except relatively. I mean all the records I have that "bombed" sold a crap ton of records. I have an awful lot of small press records, did they bomb? Not really.... Too bad I don't have a copy of Stankonia on vinyl because it has Bombs Over Baghdad. Lol.Day 4 - Bombers
Seemed a good idea / To drop a bomb on the wasteland here
Play a record that is considered a bomb but that you love
Beastie Boys - Paul's Boutique
How do you top a record that sold a bazillion copies? Not with this sample-delic crazy album. A bomb only in that it sold just under 300,000 copies in its first year of release. The worst selling BBoys studio album, and a true classic

You can always go for the figurative as opposed to the literal. I almost played this one. I would think this is on your shelf......unless you want to crushingly disappoint me and make me rethink the entire integrity of the universe...I struggled with this day and eventually gave up and just listened to records I wanted to today.

After London Calling, to the bean counters Sandinista counted as a bomb (and a great record)Most of my Clash is on CD. Currently, I only have Sandinista on vinyl. I had an OG American of the debut that got destroyed by water damage.

Day 5 - Sound and Vision
Play a ‘blue’ record
Oscar D'León - El Discóbolo
I'm curious to see how others interpret 'blue' record, but I'll use this as an opportunity to feature a great Oscar D'León album.

When I saw its cover in a record shop, I absolutely HAD to have it. It also has a ton of get-your-booty-on-the-dance-floor songs.That album cover is brilliant!
