The Foo Fighters - This Is A Call, original 1995 pressing on luminous vinyl.
Very sweet and rare item indeed as this one not only contains the great songs Winnebago and Podunk as b-sides (also featured on the japanese edition) but this particular 12" vinyl is also luminous as can be seen in the third picture.

Therapy? - One Cure Fits All
And so they released a couple of albums over the years, perhaps the most notable being Semi-Detached from 1998 (also their last album on the A&M label) including their minor hit Church Of Noise.
As the years went on Therapy? released a couple albums of very uneven quality and some changing with labels (A&M, Ark21 etc etc) . Although they never accomplished their success of the Troublegum album. In 2006 they released the One Cure Fits All album on Spitfire Records- and boy, was it well recieved in the press! More melodies, but still loud. Very loud. The album is very well produced, and the sound kind of resembles of the Troublegum album.
Therapy? - One Cure Fits All (2006)
As for my personal experience this album is clearly one of their greatest. It seems like the band knows what they are doing again.
2009..... and they just released their latest Crooked Timber album, and I should really check this 'lil thingy out. I have to admit than since 1999 I kind of counted them out of the game, but I'm really great that they're back again.

Almost forgot-
Joakim Thåström - Kärlek Är För Dom lp 1st pressing, in gatefold sleeve limited to only 500 copies.
As the limited and numbered 1st pressing lp of this album sold out immediately, I had the opportunity to snatch two numbered copies of this one.
I got #079 and #080 of 500 copies in total. This pretty low number which makes it even more interesting. The album is pretty good and a lot better than the 2005 release Skebokvarnsvägen 208.
Condition: M/M on both
Who is he?
For you who don't know who this musician is, he was one of the founding members of the Swedish punkband Ebba Grön and later moved on to Imperiet with Christian Falk (Robyn, EST, Whale etc etc). He is considered as the grandfather of punk in Sweden, kinda'. In the early to late 90's he also had his project called Peace Love & Pitbulls that topped the charts on MTV 120 Minutes in 17 weeks (!) back in 1992.
