Following the success of the two live LPs bookending Mars's trajectory through the skies of NYC, Mark Cunningham was convinced to return to his legendary box of cassettes. Even he was surprised to discover the band's earliest shows (done under the name China) were there, amidst a tumble of other tapes. Thus, the idea was born for a trilogy of LPs tracing Mars's development from their first audition gig at CBGB through the shows following their 1980 Lust/Unlust EP. China to Mars is the first volume, and really displays for the first time how much the band's earliest music was a mutated variation on some of NYC's extant juggernauts, in particular Television and the Patti Smith Group. While their sound was clearly their own, the textures and techniques they're using to achieve them are far less alien than they'd become. Side one was recorded at China's audition night at CBGB in Feb. '77, and their follow-up show in June. It's amazing how good it sounds. And the songs are almost all unheard (apart from 'Cry,' which appeared on the 2012 Anomia tape box). Even 3E is nearly unrecognizable from it's released version recorded the following year. The second side is from Sept. '77, once they had started calling themselves Mars. The shuddering blocks of sound for which they are known are beginning to coalesce, and Sumner's dark vocals are pushed to the fore. The music is stunning. You can hear the band on the very cusp of transforming itself into the group that recorded those incredible early sides. Wow, can't wait for the next two volumes -Byron Coley, 2015. Edition of 800.

Perfect for the little ones Christmas
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
I ordered this book for a recent baby shower. I always try to get this story as I received one for my son when he was little and we still have it. It makes lasting memories for Christmas to watch them as they listen to you read it and then when you get to listen to them read it as they get older. It’s a timeless tradition. The book itself is brand new, the spine was in perfect shape and the book was never opened. It was super stiff and I didn’t want to open it so I didn’t get any pictures of the pages. But I did peak inside without cracking the spine and saw that the pics looked nice. For the price you can’t beat it.

The Night Before Christmas (Little Golden Book)
Format: Hardcover
I recently read "The Night Before Christmas" Little Golden Book and it brought back so many memories of my childhood. This classic holiday story has been a staple in many households, including mine, for years. One thing I really liked about this book is the beautiful illustrations. They were vibrant and full of detail, bringing the story to life. The images perfectly captured the magic and excitement of Christmas Eve. It made me feel like I was right there with Santa and his reindeer, flying through the night sky. I also enjoyed the rhyming text in this book. It flowed smoothly and added a playful rhythm to the story. It was fun to read aloud, especially when sharing it with younger children. The words painted a vivid picture of all the wonderful things happening on that special night. However, one thing I disliked about this book was that it felt a bit short. I wished there was more to the story or maybe an additional scene at the end. But considering it's a Little Golden Book meant for younger readers, I understand why it was kept concise. I have used this book as a bedtime story for my little cousins during the holiday season. They absolutely loved it! The magical theme and festive illustrations captivated their imaginations.
