PJ Harvey – Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea
I have liked PJ Harvey since To Bring You My Love. My friend Martin introduced me to her. In those days we were young and reckless students at The Royal School of Library and Information Science in Copenhagen.
We spent the days drinking beer, playing Magic: the Gathering and listening to music. We were bartenders at the weekly school bar, having themes for most of the (Elvis, Tom Waits etc.).
When Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea was released in 2000, I had graduated as a fully trained librarian, and also left that line of work completely. I still drank beer and listened to music though, so it was a given case, to buy this lp. I bought it at the legendary record store Baden Baden in Copenhagen,
I still remember very vividly the impact this lp had on me from the very first listen.
I love the part in Good Fortune, where she sings:
When we walked through
Little Italy
I saw my reflection
Come right off your face
I still love this lp very much.
It’s also by sheer strange qiurk of fate one of the most expensive records in my collection, according to Discogs this edition sells for between €60 and €150… I ain’t selling though…

Lack Of Interest/Weekend Nachos – Split 7″
This split is a must-have. Great work from both Lack Of Interest and Weekend Nachos!
Napalm Death/S.O.B. – Split 7″ Flexi
I love this 7″. This is my third copy. I wore the two first out back then… Now they cost around € 20. Then about £ 1,5.

Zager & Evans – 2525 (Exordium & Terminus)
Actually, this isn’t all mine… I bought it with my old friend Michael Hammel (hej Mich). We had a shared flip about the song 2525.
The lp as a whole is a mixed pleasure… But as it is with nostalgia, I’m unable to judge this record objectively…
Woman … Maybe I will marry you…

Iron Maiden – Somewhere In Time
Today it is 9741 days ago I bought this lp. I turned 16 that day (yes I’m 42 now).
I was a bit sceptic about the alleged “guitar synths” used, but my fears were put to shame. This is an absolute masterpiece. Vital and brilliant all the way through.
The only thing that disturbs perfection is the band photo on the inner sleeve:
Kinky!

Culture Shock – All The Time
I bought this lp when I lived in England in the early 1990’s. My main reason for the purchase, was that Dick Lucas from Subhumans sang on it.
I haven’t given it a spin for more than a decade, but it’s fresh and funny.

Bathory – Under The Sign Of The Black Mark
The first time my brother saw a Bathory lp, he misread the logo as Batlord. So he bought a Mentors lp instead… We were obsessed by Bathory back then. Phoned to all the Börje Forsbergs we could find in the phonebook. Börje was Quorthon’s father. We never got hold of the Real Börje though.
Bathory was too us the most extreme music ever. And indeed, we also obsessed about Countess Elizabeth Bathory. I was excited that she had had a dwarf minion called Janos as my name is Janus.
Sabbat – History Of A Time To Come
“Bell, book and candle, candle, book, bell,
Forwards and backwards to damn me to Hell.”
I still remember my scepticism when I was told that there was an English thrash band called Sabbat. I decided to give their lp a chance, and was rewarded with this beast of a thrash lp.
The lp here, is bought on Discogs, as my original lp was sold to my brother in one of our many trades.
And yeah, this record is recorded in West Germany.
Thrash!!!

Condemned? – Humanoid or Biomechanoid?
As a longtime Attitude Adjustment and Attitude? fan, it was fantastic to discover this lp. They are still around it seems, if any member of Condemned? ever read this, then know that your music made a huge impact on me. 
I ordered this at Radio Holm in Ribe in 1987. Then I forgot to fetch it, and then found it at a discount in Radio Holm half a year later. I’ve always loved this twisted slab of hardcore. Vastly underrated in my opinion…
All information wants to be, is free… Here is some on this lp: http://www.discogs.com/Condemned-Humanoid-Or-Biomechanoid/release/4383514
Joy Division – Closer
This is one of the best records of all time.
The Joy Division lps have been the soundtrack to many an important moment in the lives of me and my brother Rasmus.
