4 Rare 80s Albums [Part 115] New Romantic, Post-Punk, Rock

Here we have 4 ultra obscure and hard to find LPs to listen and


Lyon in Winter - As Winter Falls [1986]

It is a private press album out of New York from a multi-talented American musician. He works through 7 songs of synth pop rock with ease. He’s got a good voice to add to the overall package and a solid backing band who handles the percussion steadily….As in most cases when a Saxophone is present on these vinyl new wavers, it adds a nice touch throughout
