1983 Yello:
You Gotta Say Yes To Another Excess
A flea market goodie for $2, Vinyl VG+, 1-1/1-1 in deadwax
1988 The Woodentops:
Wooden Footcops On The Highway
Part of the great Aussie invasion of the late '80s (Midnight Oil, Hunters & Collectors, et al.) Found on eBay, vinyl E+, Masterdisc, 1A/1B in deadwax
2010 Interpol
Interpol
2x 45rpm (yes- 1 1/2" center hole requiring a 45rpm adaptor!)
A bit angst-ridden for everyday listening, but with each playing my appreciation increases. Worthy music! Deadwax: Sterling / RJ
(Original release 1986) Abecedarians
Eureka (reissue 2012)
One of those '80s bands I wish I hadn't missed. I've seen original pressings go for $300+.
Disc one: Original album, etherial guitar reminiscent of Simon Raymonde of Cocteau Twins. Nice atmospheric guitar and vocal interplay (Cocteau Twins without Elizabeth Frazier's glossolalia, or: Cocteau Twins with a comprehensible male voice).
Disc two (not an original release): Previously unreleased material, foray into electronica, and also a nice spin. Nondescript deadwax...
